Short Statement:
This information collection reflects adjustments in the number of respondents and responses of -3,808. These adjustments are due to a decrease in the number of filings of the FCC Form 312-EZ by respondents with the Commission during the past year. As a result of these changes, the annual burden hours also had an adjustment of -38,080. Furthermore, this information collection reflects an adjustment in annual costs of -$9,710,320 due to increases in the hourly rates for outside engineering assistance from $200 per hour to $250 per hour and for outside legal assistance from $200 per hour to $300 per hour. Additionally, changes in application filing fees and reductions in the number of FCC Form 312-EZ’s filed annually impacted annual costs.
