Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: There are program changes/decreases to this collection as follows: 88 to the number of respondents, 13,004 to the number of responses, 21,256 to the annual burden hours and $26,952,000 to the annual cost. There program changes are due to the Commission removing the information collection requirements that were contained in 47 CFR Sections 74.786(d) and (e), and the requirements related to resolving channel conflict from this collection. The requirements were "sunsetted" when operation on channels 52 to 69 went away on December 31, 2011. Therefore, since stations cannot operate on these channels, they cannot file for these channels. This means that the requirements in the rule sections mentioned above are no longer applicable or used by respondents (stations). Also, there are adjustments/increases to the number of respondents of 709 which are due to an increase in the number of translator stations to this collection.
