Under 5 CFR part 1320, an agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless it displays a current, valid OMB 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 that does not display a valid OMB Control Number. The OMB Control Number is 3060– 0991 and the total annual reporting VerDate Nov<24>2008 11:46 Feb 04, 2009 Jkt 217001 burdens for respondents for these information collections are as follows: OMB Control Numbers: 3060–0991. OMB Approval Date: January 26, 2009. Expiration Date: January 31, 2012. Title: AM Measurement Data. Form Number: N/A. Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection. Respondents: Business or other for profit entities. I removed not for profit institutions since we did not include those respondents with our OMB submission. Number of Respondents/Responses: 1,900 respondents; 4,568 responses. Estimated Hours per Response: 0.5–25 hours per response. Frequency of Response: Recordkeeping requirement; On occasion reporting requirement; Third party disclosure requirement. Total Annual Burden: 30,795 hours. Total Annual Cost: $826,500. Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain benefits. The statutory authority for this information collection is contained in Section 154(i) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended. I removed the other rule sections since they were not included in our submission to OMB. Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for confidentiality with this collection of information. Privacy Act Assessment: No impact(s). Needs and Uses: On September 24, 2008, the Commission adopted the Second Report and Order and Second Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in the matter of An Inquiry Into the Commission’s Policies and Rules Regarding AM Radio Service Directional Antenna Performance Verification, MM Docket No. 93–177, FCC 08–228. The Second Report and Order permits AM stations using directional antennas to use computer modeling techniques to verify AM directional antenna performance, thereby reducing the regulatory burden on these stations. Directional AM stations use antennas which suppress radiated field in some directions and enhance it in others. Under our current rules, an AM licensee operating with a directional antenna must perform a proof of performance to demonstrate that the antenna pattern conforms to the station’s authorization. An AM station must perform a full proof to verify the pattern shape when a new directional antenna system is authorized. Partial proofs, which require fewer measurements, are occasionally necessary to show that an array continues to operate properly. Typically, a full proof requires measurement of the AM station’s field PO 00000 Frm 00005 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 6121 strength on six to 12 critical bearings, ranging to distances of 15 kilometers or more from the antenna. Subsequent graphical analysis of proof measurements also requires substantial time and expense. In contrast, the computer modeling techniques authorized in the Second Report and Order are based on internal measurements, making the proof process less time-consuming and expensive for AM licensees. In order to control interference between stations and assure adequate community coverage, AM stations must conduct various engineering measurements to demonstrate that the antenna system operates as authorized.

PO 00000 Frm 00006 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 ACTION: Notice of 90-day petition finding. SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), announce a 90-day finding on 165 species from a petition to list 206 species in the mountain-prairie region of the United States as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). We find that, for these 165 species, the petition does not present substantial scientific or commercial information indicating that listing may be warranted. Therefore, for these 165 species, we will not initiate a further status review in response to this petition; however, we are making no determination at this time on whether substantial information has been presented on the remaining 39 species included in the petition. A finding (or findings) will be made on the remaining 39 species at a later date. We ask the public to submit to us any new information that becomes available concerning the status of these 165 species, or threats to them or their habitat, at any time. This information will help us monitor and encourage the conservation of these species. An additional 2 species of the 206 were reviewed in a concurrent 90-day finding and, therefore, were not considered in this finding (see Petition). DATES: The finding announced in this document was made on February 5, 2009. You may submit new information concerning this species for our consideration at any time. ADDRESSES: This finding is available on the Internet at https:// www.regulations.gov. Supporting information we used in preparing this finding is available for public inspection, by appointment, during normal business hours, at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Mountain-Prairie Regional Ecological Services Office, P.O. Box 25486, Denver Federal Center, Denver, Colorado 80255. Please submit any new information, materials, comments, or questions concerning these species or this finding to the above address.
