Total Annual Burden: 163,902 hours.
Total Annual Cost: $28,691,703.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: Yes.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is minimal exemption from the

0.459, that is granted for trade secrets,
which may be submitted to the

assurances of confidentiality are
provided to respondents.
Needs and Uses: The Commission
will submit this information collection
(IC) to the OMB as an extension (no
change in the reporting and/or third
party disclosure requirements) during
this comment period to obtain the full
three-year clearance from them. Since
the last submission to OMB, the
Commission is reporting a +249,703

a +$27,498,703 increase in annual costs.
The National Environmental Policy
Act of 1969 (NEPA) requires Federal
agencies to evaluate the effects of their
actions on human environmental
quality. To comply with NEPA, the
Commission adopted rules in 1997, 47
CFR 1.1307, which revised Radio
Frequency (RF) exposure guidelines for
FCC-regulated facilities. The guidelines
reflect more recent scientific studies of
FR electromagnetic fields and their
biological effects, and are designed to
ensure that the public and workers are
adequately protected from exposure to
potentially harmful FR electromagnetic
fields.
The FCC staff uses the information
required by section 1.1307 to determine
whether the environmental evaluation is
sufficiently complete and in compliance
with the FCC rules to be acceptable for
filing.
This information is needed because
the Commission requires applicants to
PO 00000

perform an environmental evaluation
with respect to radio frequency
electromagnetic fields. Applicants are
required to consider contributions from
other transmitters within the vicinity of
their facility in order to assess the
cumulative exposure. Accordingly, to
correctly determine compliance with
the Commission’s exposure limits, an
applicant must locate, determine
ownership, and gather technical
information for all contributing
transmitters.
