ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to Nicholas A. Fraser, Office of Management and Budget, via fax at 202-395-5167 or via the Internet at *Nicholas_A._Fraser@omb.eop.gov* and to the Federal Communications Commission via e-mail to *PRA@fcc.gov.* FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Judith B.

(202)418-0214. For additional information, contact Judith B. Herman, OMD, 202-418-0214 or e-mail *judith-b.herman@fcc.gov.* SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: *OMB Control Number:* 3060-0065. *Title:* Applications for New or Modified Radio Station Authorization Under Part 5 of FCC Rules—Experimental Radio Service (Other than Broadband). *Form No.:* FCC Form 442. *Type of Review:* Extension of a currently approved collection. *Respondents:* Not-for-profit institutions and state, local or tribal government. *Number of Respondents and Responses:* 200 respondents; 280 responses. *Estimated Time Per Response:* 4 hours. *Frequency of Response:* On occasion reporting requirement and recordkeeping 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 and 303. *Total Annual Burden:* 1,120 hours. *Total Annual Cost:* $18,000. *Privacy Act Impact Assessment:* N/A. *Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:* Applicants may request that any information supplied be withheld from public inspection pursuant to 47 CFR 0.459 of the Commission's rules. This request must be justified under 47 CFR 0.447 of the Commission's rules. *Needs and Uses:* The Commission will submit this expiring collection to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB)after this comment period to obtain the three year clearance from them. There is no change in the Commission's burden hour estimate or annual cost estimate. The Commission is seeking OMB approval for an extension (no change in the reporting and/or recordkeeping requirements). Part 5 allows for operations not covered under other FCC rule parts, such as research and development, testing prior to equipment authorization, and limited market studies of experimental services/products. Applicants are generally electronic equipment manufacturers. Applicants who apply for a FCC license to operate a new or modified experimental radio station are required to complete and file FCC Form 442. The FCC will use the information to determine if the applicant is eligible for an experimental license, to comply with the requirements of Part 5 of the Commission's rules and if the proposed operation will cause interference to existing operations. Federal Communications Commission. Gloria Miles, Federal Register Liaison, Office of the Secretary, Office of Managing Director. [FR Doc. 2011-7909 Filed 4-1-11; 8:45 am]
