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 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 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.

Federal Communications Commission (FCC or
[[Page 34498]]
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 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 September
22, 2025. 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 to
<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#f6a6a4b7b6909595d8919980"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="b6e6e4f7f6d0d5d598d1d9c0">[email protected]</span></a> and to <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#175476637f6e39407e7b7b7e767a645771747439707861"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="1c5f7d687465324b757070757d716f5c7a7f7f327b736a">[email protected]</span></a>.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For additional information about the
information collection, contact Cathy Williams at (202) 418-2918.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control No.: 3060-0347.
Title: Section 97.311, Spread Spectrum (SS) Emission Types.
Form No.: Not applicable.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Respondents: Individuals or households.
Number of Respondents and Responses: 50 respondents; 50 responses.
Estimated Time per Response: .017 hours (1 minute).
Frequency of Response: Recordkeeping requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain and retain benefits. The
statutory authority for this collection of information is contained in
47 U.S.C. 154, 303, 151-155 and 301-609.
Total Annual Burden: 1 hour.
Annual Cost Burden: No cost.
Needs and Uses: The recordkeeping requirement in Section 97.311 is
necessary to document all spread spectrum (ss) transmissions by amateur
radio operators. This requirement is necessary so that quick resolution
of any harmful interference problems can be achieved and to ensure that
the station is operating in accordance with the Communications Act of
1934, as amended. The information is used by FCC staff during
inspections and investigations to ensure compliance with applicable
rules, statutes, and treaties. In the absence of this recordkeeping
requirement, field inspections and investigations related to the
solution of cases of harmful interference would be severely hampered
and needlessly prolonged due to the inability to quickly obtain vital
information used to demodulate spread spectrum transmissions.
Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary.
