    Form Number: FCC Form 854.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Individuals or households, business or other for-
profit entities, not-for-profit institutions, and State, local, or 
Tribal governments.

    Estimated Time per Response: .33 hours to 2.5 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement,

Statutory authority for this information collection is contained in 
sections 1, 2, 4(i), 303, and 309(j) of the Communications Act of 1934, 
as amended, 47 U.S.C. 151, 152, 154(i), 303, and 309(j), section 102(C) 
of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 
4332(C), and section 1506.6 of the regulations of the Council on 
Environmental Quality, 40 CFR 1506.6.
    Total Annual Burden: 25,682 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $1,176,813.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: Yes. This information collection 
contains personally identifiable information on individuals which is 
subject to the Privacy Act of 1974. Information on the FCC Form 854 is 
maintained in the Commission's System of Records, FCC/WTB-1, ``Wireless 
Services Licensing Records.'' These licensee records are publicly 
available and routinely used in accordance of subsection b of the 
Privacy Act, 5 U.S.C. 552a(b), as amended. Taxpayer Identification 
Numbers (TINs) and materials that are afforded confidential treatment 
pursuant to a request made under 47 CFR 0.459 of the Commission's rules 
will not be available for public inspection.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: Respondents may request 
materials or information submitted to the Commission be withheld from 
public inspection under 47 CFR 0.459 of the Commission's rules. The 
Commission has in place the following policy and procedures for records 
retention and disposal: Records will be actively maintained as long as 
the entity remains a tower owner. Paper records will be archived after 
being keyed or scanned into the Antenna Structure Registration (ASR) 
database and destroyed when twelve (12) years old.
    Needs and Uses: The purpose of FCC Form 854 (Form 854) is to 
register antenna structures that are used for radio communication 
services which are regulated by the Commission; to make changes to 
existing antenna structure registrations or pending applications for 
registration; or to notify the Commission of the completion of 
construction or dismantlement of such structures, as required by Title 
47 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Chapter 1, Sections 1.923, 
1.1307, 1.1311, 17.1, 17.2, 17.4, 17.5, 17.6, 17.7, 17.57 and 17.58.
    Any person or entity proposing to construct or alter an antenna 
structure that is more than 60.96 meters (200 feet) in height, or that 
may interfere with the approach or departure space of a nearby airport 
runway, must notify the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) of 
proposed construction. The FAA determines whether the antenna structure 
constitutes a potential hazard and may recommend appropriate painting 
and lighting for the structure. The Commission then uses the FAA's 
recommendation to impose specific painting and/or lighting requirements 
on radio tower owners and subject licensees. When an antenna structure 
owner for one reason or another does not register its structure, it 
then becomes the responsibility of the tenant licensees to ensure that 
the structure is registered with the Commission.
    Section 303(q) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, gives 
the Commission authority to require painting and/or illumination of 
radio towers in cases where there is a reasonable possibility that an 
antenna structure may cause a hazard to air navigation. In 1992, 
Congress amended Sections 303(q) and 503(b)(5) of the Communications 
Act to make radio tower owners, as well as Commission licensees and 
permittees responsible for the painting and lighting of radio tower 
structures, and to provide that non-licensee radio tower owners may be 
subject to forfeiture for violations of painting or lighting 
requirements specified by the Commission.
