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
[OMB 3060-0222; FR ID 320678]
Information Collection Being Reviewed by the Federal
Communications Commission Delegated Authority
AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.
ACTION: Notice and request for comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: 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.
DATES: Written PRA comments should be submitted on or before February
3, 2026. 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
<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#d080829190b6b3b3feb7bfa6"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="ffafadbebf999c9cd1989089">[email protected]</span></a> and to <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#c88ba9bca0b1e69fa1a4a4a1a9a5bb88aeababe6afa7be"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="e6a587928e9fc8b18f8a8a8f878b95a6808585c8818990">[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.: 3060-0222.
Title: Section 97.213, Telecommand of an Amateur Station.
Form No.: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other for profit entities.
Number of Respondents and Responses: 40,000 respondents and 40,000
responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 5 minutes (.084 hours).
Frequency of Response: Third party disclosure requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. The
statutory authority for this collection is approved under 47 U.S.C.
303, 151-155, 301-609.
Total Annual Burden: 3,360 hours.
Annual Cost Burden: No cost.
Needs and Uses: The third party disclosure requirement contained in
47 CFR 97.213 consists of posting a photocopy of the amateur station
license, a label with the name, address, and telephone number of the
station licensee, and the name of at least one authorized control
operator in a conspicuous place at the station location. This
requirement is necessary so that quick resolution of any harmful
interference problems can be identified and to ensure that the station
is operating in accordance with the Communications Act of 1934, as
amended. This information is used by FCC personnel during inspections
and investigations to determine who is responsible for the proper
operation of the remotely controlled station. In the absence of this
third party disclosure requirement, field inspections and
investigations related to harmful interference could be severely
hampered and needlessly prolonged due to inability to determine the
responsible licensee.
Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary.
