Statutory authority for this information collection is contained in 47 Section 154(i) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended. VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:40 Apr 23, 2012 Jkt 226001 Total Annual Burden: 365 hours. Total Annual Cost: $1,331,250. Privacy Impact Assessment(s): No impact(s).

FCC staff use the data to ensure that objectionable interference will not be caused to other authorized AM stations. OMB Control Number: 3060–0727. Title: Section 73.213, Grandfathered Short-Spaced Stations. Form Number(s): Not applicable. Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.

Total annual costs: $3,750. Privacy Impact Assessment(s): No impact(s). Needs and Uses: 47 CFR 73.213 requires licensees of grandfathered short-spaced FM stations seeking to modify or relocate their stations to provide a showing demonstrating that there is no increase in either the total predicted interference area or the associated population (caused or received) with respect to all grandfathered stations or increase the PO 00000 Frm 00036 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 interference caused to any individual stations. Applicants must demonstrate that any new area predicted to lose service as a result of interference has adequate service remaining. In addition, licensees are required to serve a copy of any application for co-channel or firstadjacent channel stations proposing predicted interference caused in any area where interference is not currently predicted to be caused upon the licensee(s) of the affected short-spaced station(s). Commission staff uses the data to determine if the public interest will be served and that existing levels of interference will not be increased to other licensed stations. Providing copies of application(s) to affected licensee(s) will enable potentially affected parties to examine the proposals and provide them an opportunity to file informal objections against such applications.
