Federal Communications Commission (FCC or Commission) invites the 
general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to 
comment on the following information collections. Comments are 
requested concerning: whether the proposed collection of information is

enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; 
ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on the 
respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology; and ways to further reduce the 
information collection burden on small business concerns with fewer 
than 25 employees.
    The FCC may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information 
unless it displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) control number. No person shall be subject to any penalty for 
failing to comply with a collection of information subject to the PRA 
that does not display a valid OMB control number.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted on or before January 22, 
2019. If you anticipate that you will be submitting comments but find 
it difficult to do so within the period of time allowed by this notice, 
you should advise the contacts below as soon as possible.

Statutory authority for this information collection is contained in 47

Act of 1934, as amended.

    Needs and Uses: The Commission established a recordkeeping 
procedure in section 97.303(s) that required that amateur operator 
licensees using other antennas must maintain in their station records 
either manufacturer data on the antenna gain or calculations of the 
antenna gain.
    The amateur radio service governed by 47 CFR part 97 of the 
Commission's rules, provides spectrum for amateur radio service 
licensees to participate in a voluntary noncommercial communication 
service which provides emergency communications and allows 
experimentation with various radio techniques and technologies to 
further the understanding of radio use and the development of 
technologies. The information collection is used to calculate the 
effective radiated power (ERP) that the station is transmitting to 
ensure that ERP does not exceed 100 W PEP.
