                AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.
                ACTION: Notice and request for comments.
                -----------------------------------------------------------------------
                SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens,
                and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), the
                Federal Communications Commission (FCC or Commission) invites the
                general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to
                comment on the following information collection(s). Comments are
                requested concerning: Whether the proposed collection of information is
                necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the
                Commission, including whether the information shall have practical
                utility; the accuracy of the Commission's burden estimate; ways to
                enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected;
                ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on the
                respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or
                other forms of information technology; and ways to further reduce the
                information collection burden on small business concerns with fewer
                than 25 employees. The FCC may not conduct or sponsor a collection of
                information unless it displays a currently valid Office of Management
                and Budget (OMB) control number. No person shall be subject to any
                penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information subject
                to the PRA that does not display a valid OMB control number.
                DATES: Written comments should be submitted on or before August 10,
                2021. If you anticipate that you will be submitting comments but find
                it difficult to do so within the period of time allowed by this notice,
                you should advise the contacts below as soon as possible.
                ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to Cathy Williams, FCC, via email to
                [email protected] and to [email protected].
                FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For additional information about the
                information collection, contact Cathy Williams at (202) 418-2918.

                and 332, unless noted.

                 Needs and Uses: The reporting requirement contained in section
                80.302 is necessary to ensure that the U.S. Coast Guard is timely
                notified when a coast station, which is responsible for maintaining a
                listening watch on a designated marine distress and safety frequency
                discontinues, reduces or impairs its communications services. This
                notification allows the Coast Guard to seek an alternate means of
                providing radio coverage to protect the safety of life and property at
                sea or object to the planned diminution of service. The information is
                used by the U.S. Coast Guard district office nearest to the coast
                station. Once the Coast Guard is aware that such a situation exists, it
                is able to inform the maritime community that radio coverage has or
                will be affected and/or seek to provide coverage of the safety watch
                via alternate means.
