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

    Number of Respondents and Responses: 233,596 Respondents; 233,596 
Responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 0.0833 hours (5 minutes)--20 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement and third-
party disclosure requirement.
    Obligation To Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. 
Statutory authority for this Information collection is contained in 47 
U.S.C. 154, 302, 303, and 307.
    Total Annual Burden: 26,005 hours.
    Total Annual Costs: $1,958,335.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this extension of a 
currently approved information collection to the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) after this 60-day comment period in order to obtain 
the full three-year clearance.
    This information collection is a result of responsibility placed on 
the FCC by the Telecommunications Act of 1996 and the National 
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969. The Telecommunications Act 
directs the FCC to ``prescribe and make effective rules regarding the 
environmental effects of radio frequency emissions,'' and NEPA requires 
that each federal agency evaluate the impact of ``major actions 
significantly affecting the quality of the human environment.'' It is 
the FCC's opinion that this is the most efficient and reasonable method 
of complying with the Telecommunications Act and NEPA with regard to 
the environmental issue of radiofrequency radiation from FCC-regulated 
transmitters.
