If such licensee needs to discontinue operation or to operate with temporary facilities for more than 30 days, then an informal letter request must be sent to the FCC prior to the 30th day. 47 CFR 73.1615(d) requires the licensee of an AM station holding a construction permit which authorizes both a change in frequency and directional facilities to obtain authority from the FCC prior to using any new installation authorized by the permit, or using temporary facilities.

This collection accounts for the burden imposed on cable operators to rearrange their accounting records to be in compliance with the requirements set forth in 47 CFR 76.924. This burden should be considered a one-time only recordkeeping requirement for new cable operators. Information derived from accounting records that are arranged in compliance with 47 CFR 76.924 is used by the cable operators themselves when completing rate filings and by local franchising authorities when reviewing rate filings.
