One-time Public Safety frequency filing

The collection is OMB Control Number 3060-0204, expects 2 respondents and 2 responses, takes about 0.25–0.75 hours per response (total annual burden 1 hour), and is required to obtain or retain the authorization; the FCC reports no monetary cost.

The FCC is asking for public comments on ways to reduce the paperwork burden, and explicitly asks for ideas to further reduce the information collection burden on small business concerns with fewer than 25 employees. Comments must be submitted by January 20, 2026.
