Abstract
As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, 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.

Needs and Uses: The Alternative Broadcast Inspection Program (ABIP)
is a series of agreements between the Federal Communications
Commission's (FCC) Enforcement Bureau and a private entity, usually a
state broadcast association, whereby the private entity agrees to
facilitate inspections (and re-inspections, where appropriate) of
participating broadcast stations to determine station compliance with
FCC regulations. Broadcast stations participate in ABIP on a voluntary
basis. The private entities notify their local FCC Field Office in
writing of those stations that pass the ABIP inspection and have been
issued a Certificate of Compliance by the ABIP inspector. The FCC uses
this information to determine which broadcast stations have been
certified in compliance with FCC Rules and will not be subject to
certain random FCC inspections.
