occasion, semi-annual, weekly and

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.

Annual Cost Burden: $97,025.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No

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
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,
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

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

authority for this information collection
is contained in 47 U.S.C. 4(i), 308(b),
309(j)(3) and 309(j)(4).
Total Annual Burden: 7,288 hours.
Total Annual Cost: $2,223,375.
Privacy Impact Assessment: No
impact(s).
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
In general, there is no need for
confidentiality. On a case by case basis,
the Commission may be required to
withhold from disclosure certain
information about the location,
character, or ownership of a historic
property, including traditional religious
sites.
Needs and Uses: The Commission
will submit this expiring information
collection to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) after this comment
period to obtain the three year clearance
from them. FCC Form 609–T is used by
Designated Entities (DEs) to request
prior Commission approval pursuant to
Section 1.2114 of the Commission’s
rules for any reportable eligibility event.
The data collected on the form is used
by the FCC to determine whether the
public interest would be served by the
approval of the reportable eligibility
event.
FCC Form 611–T is used by DE
licensees to file an annual report,

The information collected will be
used to ensure that only legitimate small
businesses reap the benefits of the
Commission’s designated entity
program. Further, this information will
assist the Commission in preventing
companies from circumventing the
objectives of the designated entity
eligibility rules by allowing us to
review: (1) The FCC 609–T applications
seeking approval for ‘‘reportable
eligibility events’’ and (2) the FCC Form

licensees receiving designated entity
benefits are in compliance with the
Commission’s policies and rules.

Title: Part 73, Subpart F International Broadcast Stations.
Form No.: FCC Forms 309, 310 and 311.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities.
Number of Respondents/Responses: 225 respondents; 225 responses.
[[Page 74430]]
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 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.

eligibility for designated entity benefits.
The information collected will be used to ensure that only

the designated entity eligibility rules by allowing us to review: (1)
The FCC 609-T applications seeking approval for ``reportable
eligibility events'' and (2) the FCC Form 611-T annual reports to
ensure that licensees receiving designated entity benefits are in
compliance with the Commission's policies and rules.
