Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this information collection to OMB as an extension during this comment period to obtain the full threeyear clearance from them. There is no change in the number of respondents, burden hours or annual costs. The FCC Form 312–EZ, Qualification Questions, is used by applicants for the C-band and Ku-band earth stations (noncommon carrier applicants) who are eligible for the ‘‘auto-grant’’ procedure. Under the ‘‘auto-grant process’’ the International Bureau of the FCC automatically grants ‘‘routine’’ earth station applications proposing to use the C-band or Ku-band. To be considered ‘‘routine’’, earth station must meet a number of requirements, including primarily the following: (1) The earth station antenna must meet certain minimum diameter requirements; (2) the proposed earth station must meet the antenna performance standard and power limitations contained in Part 25 of the Commission’s rules; (3) the earth station must be coordinated as required by Part 25; (4) the applicant seeks to communicate only with satellites authorized to provide service in the United States; and (5) the proposed station is otherwise consistent with the Commission’s legal requirements. This information collection is used by Commission staff in carrying out its duties concerning satellite communications as required by Sections 301, 308, 309, and 310 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended. It is also used by the Commission staff in carrying out its duties under the World Trade Organization (WTO) Basic Telecom Agreement. Without such information, the Commission could not determine whether to permit respondents to provide telecommunications services in the United States. Federal Communications Commission. Marlene H.

The CBPA sets out certain certification and application procedures for LPTV licensees seeking Class A designation, prescribes the criteria LPTV licensees must meet to be eligible for Class A licenses, and outlines the interference protection Class A applicants must provide to analog, digital, LPTV and TV translator stations. The CBPA directs that Class A stations must comply with the operating requirements for full-service television broadcast stations. Therefore, beginning on the date of its application for a Class A license and thereafter, a station must be ‘‘in compliance’’ with the Commission’s operating rules for fullservice television stations, contained in 47 CFR part 73.
