Cost Burden is
revised to show proper order of magnitude. The FCC should strongly
consider the suggestions of the Ad Hoc Association of Parties
Concerned about the FCC Health and Safety Rules regarding how
information associated with the environmental aspects of RF
radiation can be made available to the public in a more accurate
and timely fashion -- without imposing undue burden on licensees.
The FCC should consult with the EPA to learn more about how
environmental information is provided for public access -- and
explore possible partnerships with the EPA.

The 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
quality of human environment." It is the FCC's opinion that this is
the most efficient and reasonable method of complying NEPA with
regard to the environmental issue of radio frequency radiation from
FCC-licensed transmitters.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
