respondents are not being asked to submit confidential information to 
the Commission.
    Needs and Uses: The information collection requirements contained 
in this collection are covered in 47 CFR 73.3544(b) requires an 
informal application, see Sec. 73.3511(b), may be filed with the FCC in 
Washington, DC, Attention: Audio Division (radio) or Video Division 
(television), Media Bureau, to cover the following changes:
    (1) A correction of the routing instructions and description of an 
AM station directional antenna system field monitoring point, when the 
point itself is not changed.
    (2) A change in the type of AM station directional antenna monitor. 
See Sec. 73.69.
    (3) A change in the location of the station main studio when prior 
authority to move the main studio location is not required.
    (4) The location of a remote control point of an AM or FM station 
when prior authority to operate by remote control is not required.
    Also, information collection requirements are contained in 47 CFR 
73.3544(c) which requires a change in the name of the licensee where no 
change in ownership or control is involved may be accomplished by

    OMB Control Number: 3060-0340.
    Title: Section 73.51, Determining Operating Power.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 750 respondents; 834 
responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 0.25 to 3.0 hours.
    Frequency of Response: Recordkeeping requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. The 
statutory authority for this collection of information is contained in 
Section 154(i) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended.
    Total Annual Burden: 440 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: None.
    Privacy Impact Assessment(s): No impact(s).
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for 
confidentiality and respondents are not being asked to submit 
confidential information to the Commission.
    Needs and Uses: When it is not possible to use the direct method of 
power determination due to technical reasons, the indirect method of 
determining antenna input power might be used on a temporary basis. 47 
CFR Section 73.51(d) requires that a notation be made in the station 
log indicating the dates of commencement and termination of measurement 
using the indirect method of power determination. 47 CFR Section 
73.51(e) requires that AM stations determining the antenna input power 
by the indirect method must determine the value F (efficiency factor) 
applicable to each mode of operation and must maintain a record thereof 
with a notation of its derivation. FCC staff use this information in 
field investigations to monitor licensees' compliance with the FCC's 
technical rules and to ensure that licensee is operating in accordance 
with its station authorization. Station personnel use the value F 
(efficiency factor) in the event that measurement by the indirect 
method of power is necessary.
