FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
Notice of Public Information Collection(s) Being Reviewed by the
Federal Communications Commission for Extension Under Delegated
Authority, Comments Requested
July 23, 2010.
SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission, as part of its
continuing effort to reduce paperwork burden invites the general public
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
requested concerning: (a) whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the Commission, including whether the information shall have practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's burden estimate; (c) ways
to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information
collected; (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of
information on the respondents, including the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of information technology, and (e)
ways to further reduce the information collection burden for small
business concerns with fewer than 25 employees.
The FCC may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid control number. No person shall be
subject to any penalty for failing to comply with a collection of
information subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) that does not
display a currently valid OMB control number.
DATES: Written Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) comments should be
submitted on or before October 8, 2010. If you anticipate that you will
be submitting PRA comments, but find it difficult to do so within the
period of time allowed by this notice, you should advise the FCC
contact listed below as soon as possible.
ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to Nicholas A. Fraser, Office of
Management and Budget, via fax at 202-395-5167 or via the Internet at
[email protected] and to the Federal Communications
Commission via email to [email protected].
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Judith B. Herman, Office of Managing
Director, (202) 418-0214. For additional information, contact Judith B.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 3060-1050.
Title: Section 97.313(i), Transmitter Power Standards, New
Allocation for Amateur Radio Service.
Form No.: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other for-profit and not-for-profit
institutions.
Number of Respondents and Responses: 5,000 respondents; 5,000
responses.
Estimated Time Per Response: 20 minutes (.3 hours).
Frequency of Response: Recordkeeping requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
Statutory authority for this information collection is contained in 47
CFR sections 151, 154, 301, 302(a), 303(c) and 303(f).
Total Annual Burden: 1,500 hours.
Total Annual Cost: N/A.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for
confidentiality.
Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this expiring
information collection to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
after this comment period to obtain the full three year clearance from
them. There is no change in the Commission's burden estimates. There is
no change in the recordkeeping requirement. However, the title of this
information collection has changed because the rule section number as
been modified.
On March 11, 2010, the Commission adopted an Order, Amendment of
the Amateur Service Rules to Facilitate Use of Spread Spectrum
Communications Technologies, WT Docket No. 10-62, FCC 10-38. This
proceeding moved transmitter power limit information that applies to
stations transmitting a spread spectrum emission from 47 CFR 97.303(s)
to 47 CFR 97.313(i), Transmitter Power Standards. No station may
transmit with an effective radiated power (ERP) exceeding 50 W PEP on
the 60 m band. For the purpose of computing ERP, the transmitter PEP
will be multiplied by the antenna gain relative to a dipole or the
equivalent calculation in decibels. A half-wave dipole antenna will be
presumed to have a gain of 1. Licensees using other antennas must
maintain in their station records either the manufacturer data on the
antenna gain or calculations of the antenna gain.
The information is used to establish a record of amateur
operations, so that if interference to critical power line carrier
systems occurs, the Commission can respond quickly to locate the
source.
