    The Federal Communications Commission (``Commission'') received 
approval from the OMB to develop a new application titled, 
``Application for Authority to Construct or Make Changes in an 
International Broadcast Station (FCC Form 420-IB)'' to request 
authority from the Commission to construct or make changes in an 
international broadcast station. This application has not been 
implemented and released to the public yet due to a lack of budget 
resources and technical staff. After the FCC Form 420-IB has been 
implemented and the Commission has obtained final approval from the 
OMB, it will be completed by international broadcasters in lieu of the 
``Application for Authority to Construct or Make Changes in an 
International, Experimental Television, Experimental Facsimile, or a 
Developmental Broadcast Station,'' (FCC Form 309). In the interim, 
applicants will continue to file the FCC Form 309 with the Commission. 
(Note: The OMB approved the FCC Form 309 under OMB Control No. 3060-
1035.
    The information collected pursuant to the rules set forth in 47 CFR 
part 73, subpart F, 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. 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. The orderly nature of the provision 
of international broadcast service would be in jeopardy without the 
Commission's involvement.
