Abstract: This information collection is a result of responsibility placed on the FCC by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969. NEPA requires that each federal agency evaluate the impact of "major actions significantly affecting the quallity of the human environment." It is the FCC's opinion that this is the most efficient and reasonable method of complying with NEPA with regard to the environmental issue of radiofrequency radiation from FCC-regulated transmitters.

Short Statement: The Commission is reporting adjustments/decreases and increases to this collection since the last submission to OMB. The total number of respondents/responses decreased from 305,612 to 284,332 (-21,280). These decreases are based on the most current available data to the Commission. Also, the Commission is reporting increases to the total annual burden hours from 50,065 to 58,865 (+8,880) and the total annual cost to respondents from $1,396,150 to $5,449,750 (+4,053,600). Due to the Commission re-evaluating its previous burden estimates, this resulted in an increase in the total annual burden hours. From the last submission to OMB, there was an increase in the salary per hour of the consultant from $150 to $250 which resulted in an increase to the total annual cost.
