This one-year
approval applies only to the conduct of the pilot survey on daytime
AM radio listener preferences. If NTIA decides to conduct a
national survey on listener preferences, it must resubmit a new
package containing a survey plan, a timetable for implementation
and a analysis of the results of the pilot survey. Similarly, NTIA
should submit a new package with the abovementioned information if
it decides to do a separate survey on the technical aspects of AM
daytime broadcasting that would require the collection of
information from the public.
