documents in the public docket that are
available electronically. Once in the
system, key in the appropriate docket
identification number then select
‘‘search’’.
It is important to note that EPA’s
policy is that public comments, whether
submitted electronically or in paper,
will be made available for public
viewing online at www.regulations.gov

B. How and to whom do I submit
comments?
FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS
COMMISSION
You may submit comments as
provided in the ADDRESSES section.
Please ensure that your comments are
submitted within the specified comment
period. Comments received after the
close of the comment period will be
marked ‘‘late.’’ EPA is not required to
consider these late comments.
If you submit an electronic comment,
EPA recommends that you include your
name, mailing address, and an email
address or other contact information in
the body of your comment and with any
disk or CD ROM you submit. This
ensures that you can be identified as the
submitter of the comment and allows
EPA to contact you in case EPA cannot
read your comment due to technical
difficulties or needs further information
on the substance of your comment. Any
identifying or contact information
provided in the body of a comment will
be included as part of the comment that
is placed in the official public docket,
and made available in EPA’s electronic
public docket. If EPA cannot read your
comment due to technical difficulties
and cannot contact you for clarification,
EPA may not be able to consider your
comment.
Use of the www.regulations.gov Web
site to submit comments to EPA
electronically is EPA’s preferred method
for receiving comments. The electronic
public docket system is an ‘‘anonymous
access’’ system, which means EPA will
not know your identity, email address,
or other contact information unless you
provide it in the body of your comment.
In contrast to EPA’s electronic public
docket, EPA’s electronic mail (email)
system is not an ‘‘anonymous access’’
system. If you send an email comment
directly to the Docket without going
through www.regulations.gov, your
email address is automatically captured
and included as part of the comment
that is placed in the official public
docket, and made available in EPA’s
electronic public docket.

ACTION: Notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:
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 Commission)
invites the general public and other
Federal agencies to take this
opportunity to comment on the
following information collections.
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 OMB 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 OMB
control number.
DATES: Written PRA comments should
be submitted on or before October 25,
2016. 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.

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 166 / Friday, August 26, 2016 / Notices
Form No.: FCC Forms 309, 310 and
311.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities.
Number of Respondents/Responses:
225 respondents; 225 responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 2–720
hours.
Frequency of Response:
Recordkeeping requirement; On
occasion, semi-annual, weekly and
annual reporting requirements.
Obligation To Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. The statutory
authority for this information collection
is contained in 47 U.S.C. 154, 303, 307,
334, 336 and 554.
Total Annual Burden: 20,096 hours.
Annual Cost Burden: $97,025.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No
impact(s).
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
In general, there is no need for
confidentiality with this collection of
information.
Needs and Uses: The Federal
Communications Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) is requesting that the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) approve a three year extension of
the information collection titled ‘‘Part
73, Subpart F International Broadcast
Stations’’ under OMB Control No. 3060–
1035. This information collection is
used by the Commission to assign
frequencies for use by international
broadcast stations, to grant authority to
operate such stations and to determine
if interference or adverse propagation
conditions exist that may impact the
operation of such stations. The
Commission collects this information
pursuant to 47 CFR part 73, subpart F.
If the Commission did not collect this
information, it would not be in a
position to effectively coordinate
spectrum for international broadcasters
or to act for entities in times of
frequency interference or adverse
propagation conditions. Therefore, the
information collection requirements are
as follows:
FCC Form 309—Application for
Authority To Construct or Make
Changes in an International,
Experimental Television, Experimental
Facsimile, or a Developmental
Broadcast Station—The FCC Form 309
is filed on occasion when the applicant
is requesting authority to construct or
make modifications to the international
broadcast station.
FCC Form 310—Application for an
International, Experimental Television,
Experimental Facsimile, or a
Developmental Broadcast Station
License—The FCC Form 310 is filed on
VerDate Sep<11>2014
21:17 Aug 25, 2016
Jkt 238001
occasion when the applicant is
submitting an application for a new
international broadcast station.
FCC Form 311—Application for
Renewal of an International or
Experimental Broadcast Station
License—The FCC Form 311 is filed by
applicants who are requesting renewal
of their international broadcast station
licenses.
47 CFR 73.702(a) states that six
months prior to the start of each season,
licensees and permittees shall by
informal written request, submitted to
the Commission in triplicate, indicate
for the season the frequency or
frequencies desired for transmission to
each zone or area of reception specified
in the license or permit, the specific
hours during which it desires to
transmit to such zones or areas on each
frequency, and the power, antenna gain,
and antenna bearing it desires to use.
Requests will be honored to the extent
that interference and propagation
conditions permit and that they are
otherwise in accordance with the
provisions of section 47 CFR 73.702(a).
47 CFR 73.702(b) states that two
months before the start of each season,
the licensee or permittee must inform
the Commission in writing as to
whether it plans to operate in
accordance with the Commission’s
authorization or operate in another
manner.
47 CFR 73.702(c) permits entities to
file requests for changes to their original
request for assignment and use of
frequencies if they are able to show
good cause. Because international
broadcasters are assigned frequencies on
a seasonal basis, as opposed to the full
term of their eight-year license
authorization, requests for changes need
to be filed by entities on occasion.
47 CFR 73.702 (note) states that
permittees who during the process of
construction wish to engage in
equipment tests shall by informal
written request, submitted to the
Commission in triplicate not less than
30 days before they desire to begin such
testing, indicate the frequencies they
desire to use for testing and the hours
they desire to use those frequencies.
47 CFR 73.702(e) states within 14
days after the end of each season, each
licensee or permittee must file a report
with the Commission stating whether
the licensee or permittee has operated
the number of frequency hours
authorized by the seasonal schedule to
each of the zones or areas of reception
specified in the schedule.
47 CFR 73.782 requires that licensees
retain logs of international broadcast
stations for two years. If it involves
communications incident to a disaster,
PO 00000
Frm 00028
Fmt 4703

logs should be retained as long as
required by the Commission.
47 CFR 73.759(d) states that the
licensee or permittee must keep records
of the time and results of each auxiliary
transmitter test performed at least
weekly.
47 CFR 73.762(b) requires that
licensees notify the Commission in
writing of any limitation or
discontinuance of operation of not more
than 10 days.
47 CFR 73.762(c) states that the
licensee or permittee must request and
receive specific authority from the
Commission to discontinue operations
for more than 10 days under extenuating
circumstances.
47 CFR 1.1301–1.1319 cover
certifications of compliance with the
National Environmental Policy Act and
how the public will be protected from
radio frequency radiation hazards.
