Summary

The FCC is asking the public and other agencies to help reduce paperwork by reviewing their information collection process. They want to know if the info they collect is useful, clear, and not too much work—especially for small businesses with fewer than 25 employees. If you have thoughts, send them in by June 1, 2026, to help shape smarter, simpler rules without extra costs or hassle.

AM Stations: Field Strength Tests Required

If you operate an AM radio station using a directional antenna, you must perform field strength measurements to ensure the antenna is working correctly. Stations without approved sampling systems must take measurements every three months; stations with approved sampling systems must take measurements as often as necessary. This collection (OMB Control Number 3060-0161) covers 1,904 respondents, takes an estimated 4–50 hours per response, and totals 30,124 hours of burden per year.
