the test point to emissions index
(pollutant mass per unit of fuel burn).
The EPA is also expanding the scope
of this ICR to include supersonic aircraft
engines in addition to subsonic aircraft
engines. When this ICR was established
and previously renewed, the only
aircraft engines that were in production,
in development, or in use were subsonic
engines. Thus, the EPA only included
subsonic engines and only referred to
subsonic test procedures. Yet, standards
in 40 CFR part 87 (Control of Air
Pollution from Aircraft and Aircraft
Engines) apply to both subsonic and
supersonic aircraft engines. The EPA is
expanding this ICR to apply equally to
all engines (subsonic and supersonic
aircraft engines) that are required to
meet standards under Part 87. The EPA
is not expecting any supersonic engines
to be certified by the FAA in the threeyear period covered by this ICR.
However, in the event there are, the EPA
wants to ensure it has access to this new
emissions information in an expeditious
manner so that the agency can
understand the environmental impacts
and inform any appropriate future
standard setting activities under CAA
section 231. The inclusion of supersonic
engines would not expand the number
of respondents; nor would it place any
additional burden on the manufactures
because the EPA is only requesting data
related to standards under Part 87.
Form Numbers: EPA Form 5900–223.
Respondents/affected entities:
Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts
Manufacturers.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory (pursuant to section 114 of
the Clean Air Act).
Estimated number of respondents: 7
(total).
Frequency of response: Annual.
Total estimated burden: 285 (per
year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $20,990 (per
year), which includes no annualized
capital or operation & maintenance
costs.
Changes in Estimates: There is
decrease of 217 hours in the total
estimated respondent burden compared
with the ICR currently approved by
OMB. This decrease is due to one-time
start-up costs to conduct nvPM
measurements from jet engines that
were included in the previous ICR
renewal. The initial cost for
manufacturers was capital and labor
intensive. These one-time costs were
incurred in the past 3 years and are not
expected to need to be repeated for
these engines now that the data has
been collected. If manufacturers develop
a new subsonic engine with a thrust

greater than 26.7kN, the nvPM
measurements will need to be verified
by the FAA. The introduction of new
aircraft engines does not happen on a
very frequent basis. The EPA is
estimating that each manufacturer may
introduce one subsonic engine over
26.7kN over the next three years, for a
total of 6 engines (compared to an
estimated 33 engines in the previous
ICR).

required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act (PRA) of 1995, the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC or
Commission) invites the general public
and other Federal agencies to take this

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

Government.
Number of Respondents and
Responses: 77 respondents; 77

Estimated Time per Response: 2–6
hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion

Obligation to Respond: Required to

authority for this collection of
information is contained in Section 207
of the Communications Act of 1934, as
amended.
Total Annual Burden: 288 hours.
Total Annual Cost: 17,100.
Needs and Uses: Section 207 of the
Telecommunications Act of 1996 (‘‘1996
Act’’) directs the Commission to
promulgate rules prohibiting restrictions
on viewers’ ability to receive over-theair signals by television broadcast,
multichannel multipoint distribution, or
direct broadcast satellite services.
In a Report and Order, Memorandum
Opinion and Order and Further Notice
of Proposed Rulemaking, CS Docket No.
96–83, FCC 96–328, released August 6,
1996, the Commission fully
implemented Section 207 of the 1996
Act by adopting final rules for a
preemption of state, local and nongovernmental regulations that impair
viewers ability to receive over-the-air
signals. In doing so, the FCC
acknowledged the necessity of allowing
state, local and non-governmental
entities to continue to enforce certain
regulations and restrictions, such as
those serving safety purposes, and
therefore exempted them from its
prohibition. Also, state, local and nongovernmental entities were permitted to
file petitions for waivers.
On September 25, 1998, the
Commission released an Order on
Reconsideration, FCC 98–214, in this
proceeding that further modified and
clarified Section 207 rules. Among other
things, the Order on Reconsideration
clarified how declaratory rulings and
waivers in this matter are to be served
on all interested parties. If a local
government seeks a declaratory ruling or
a waiver, it must take steps to afford
reasonable, constructive notice to
residents in its jurisdiction (e.g., by
placing notices in a local newspaper of
general circulation). Certificates of
service and proof of constructive notice
also must be provided to the
Commission with the petition.
In this regard, the petitioner should
provide the Commission with a copy of
the notice and an explanation of where
the notice was placed and how many

people the notice might reasonably have
reached. Effective January 22, 1999, FCC
98–273, the Commission amended the
rules so that it applies to rental property
where the renter has an exclusive use
area, such as a balcony or patio.
In FCC 00–366, the Commission then
further amended the rule so that it
applies to customer-end antennas that
receive and transmit fixed wireless
signals. This amendment became
effective on May 25, 2001.
