The FCC will
completely rewrite the instructions for completing the FCC-304A
form. The draft instructions are inadequate and fail to address fee
payments and section 21.42 issues clearly. Each item on the form
should be addressed -- unless self-evident. The OMB address should
be deleted from the FCC notification. The OMB control number and
the expiration date for the form should also be displayed on the
instructions. Until these revisions are made, the Burden to
Respondent shall be one (1) hour vice the requested 30
minutes.
