Information Collections Being Reviewed by the Federal 
Communications Commission Under Delegated Authority

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, 
and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
3501-3520), the Federal Communications Commission (FCC or the 
Commission) invites the general public and other Federal agencies to 
take this opportunity to comment on the following information 
collection. Comments are requested concerning: 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; the accuracy of the Commission's burden 
estimate; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information collected; 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 
ways to further reduce the information collection burden on 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 PRA that does not display a valid Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) control number.

DATES: Written PRA comments should be submitted on or before April 20, 
2015. If you anticipate that you will be submitting comments, but find 
it difficult to do so within the period of time allowed by this notice, 
you should advise the contact listed below as soon as possible.

ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to Cathy Williams, FCC, via email 
PRA@fcc.gov and to Cathy.Williams@fcc.gov.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For additional information about the 
information collection, contact Cathy Williams at (202) 418-2918.

Attention: Audio Division (radio) or Video Division (television), Media

point itself is not changed.
    (2) A change in the type of AM station directional antenna monitor. 
See Sec. 73.69.
    (3) A change in the location of the station main studio when prior

    47 CFR 73.3544(c) requires a change in the name of the licensee 
where no change in ownership or control is involved may be accomplished

    OMB Control Number: 3060-0340.
    Title: Section 73.51, Determining Operating Power.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 750 respondents; 834 
responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 0.25 to 3.0 hours.
    Frequency of Response: Recordkeeping requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. The 
statutory authority for this collection of information is contained in

    Total Annual Burden: 440 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: None.
    Privacy Impact Assessment(s): No impact(s).
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for 
confidentiality and respondents are not being asked to submit 
confidential information to the Commission.
    Needs and Uses: When it is not possible to use the direct method of 
power determination due to technical reasons, the indirect method of 
determining antenna input power might be used on a temporary basis. 47 
CFR Section 73.51(d) requires that a notation be made in the station 
log indicating the dates of commencement and termination of measurement 
using the indirect method of power determination. 47 CFR Section 
73.51(e) requires that AM stations determining the antenna input power 
by the indirect method must determine the value F (efficiency factor) 
applicable to each mode of operation and must maintain a record thereof 
with a notation of its derivation. FCC staff use this information in 
field investigations to monitor licensees' compliance with the FCC's 
technical rules and to ensure that licensee is operating in accordance 
with its station authorization. Station personnel use the value F 
(efficiency factor) in the event that measurement by the indirect 
method of power is necessary.
