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.

Information Collection Being Reviewed by the Federal
Communications Commission Under 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 April 13,
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#62323023220401014c050d14"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="2f7f7d6e6f494c4c01484059">[email protected]</span></a> and to <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#bcffddc8d4c592ebd5d0d0d5ddd1cffcdadfdf92dbd3ca"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="d695b7a2beaff881bfbababfb7bba596b0b5b5f8b1b9a0">[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 Number: 3060-0727.
Title: Section 73.213, Grandfathered Short-Spaced Stations.
Form Number(s): Not applicable.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities.
Number of Respondents and Responses: 15 respondents; 15 responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 0.5 hours-0.83 hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement; Third
party disclosure requirement.
Total Annual Burden: 20 hours.
Total Annual Costs: $3,750.
Needs and Uses: The information collection requirement contained in
47 CFR 73.213 requires licensees of grandfathered short-spaced FM
stations seeking to modify or relocate their stations to provide a
showing demonstrating that there is no increase in either the total
predicted interference area or the associated population (caused or
received) with respect to all grandfathered stations or increase the
interference caused to any individual stations. Applicants must
demonstrate that any new area predicted to lose service as a result of
interference has adequate service remaining. In addition, licensees are
required to serve a copy of any application for co-channel or first-
adjacent channel stations proposing predicted interference caused in
any area where interference is not currently predicted to be caused
upon the licensee(s) of the affected short-spaced
[[Page 5948]]
station(s). Commission staff uses the data to determine if the public
interest will be served and that existing levels of interference will
not be increased to other licensed stations. Providing copies of
application(s) to affected licensee(s) will enable potentially affected
parties to examine the proposals and provide them an opportunity to
file informal objections against such applications.
