Post License Info at Station
If you operate a remotely controlled amateur station as a business, you must post a photocopy of the amateur station license, plus a label showing the licensee's name, address, telephone number, and at least one authorized control operator in a conspicuous place at the station. The collection covers about 40,000 respondents, takes about 5 minutes per response (0.084 hours), and totals 3,360 annual burden hours; responding is required to obtain or retain benefits (the license).
Small Business Burden Comment Opportunity
The FCC is asking for public comments by February 3, 2026, on whether the information collection is necessary, how to improve clarity, and ways to minimize the burden, including special attention to small businesses with fewer than 25 employees. This is an opportunity for small businesses and other for‑profit entities to suggest ways to reduce paperwork burden under OMB Control No. 3060-0222.
