and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the
following information collection(s), as required by the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501 - 3520. Comments are

to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information

ways to further reduce the information collection burden for small

The FCC may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 3060-0261.
Title: Section 90.215, Transmitter Measurements.
Form Number: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other for-profit, not-for-profit
institutions, and state, local or tribal government.
Number of Respondents and Responses: 184,655 respondents, 409,048
responses.
Estimated Time per Response: .033 hours.
Frequency of Response: Recordkeeping requirement.

Statutory authority for this information collection is contained in 47
CFR 303(f).
Total Annual Burden: 13,499 hours.
Total Annual Cost: N/A.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for

Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this expiring
information collection to OMB after this comment period to obtain the
full three year clearance from them. The Commission will be submitting
this information collection as an extension (no change in the
recordkeeping requirement). The Commission is reporting a 8,541 hour
increase which is due to an adjustment that corrects errors detected in
the previous calculations. Therefore, the Commission is reporting more
accurate estimates to the OMB.
Section 90.215 requires station licensees to measure the carrier
frequency, output power, and modulation of each transmitter authorized
to operate with power in excess of two watts when the transmitter is
initially installed and when any changes are made which would likely
affect the modulation characteristics. Such measurements, which help
ensure proper operation of transmitters, are to be made by a qualified
engineering measurement service, and are required to be retained in the
station records, along with the name and address of the engineering
measurement service, and the person making the measurements.
Federal Communications Commission.
