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
effecting the quality 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 radio
frequency radiation from FCC-regulated 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;
