Abstract
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 collections. 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.

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.

Privacy Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
Needs and Uses: The information collection requirements contained
in 47 CFR 73.623 requires applicants to submit a technical showing to
establish that their proposed facilities will not result in additional
interference to TV broadcast operations. The Commission permits
broadcasters to agree to proposed TV facilities that do not conform to
the allotted parameters, even though they might be affected by
potential new interference. The Commission will consider granting
applications on the basis of interference agreements if it finds that
such grants will serve the public interest. These agreements must be
signed by all parties to the agreement. In addition, the Commission
needs the following information to enable such public interest
determinations: A list of parties predicted to receive additional
interference from the proposed facility; a showing as to why a grant
based on the agreements would serve the public interest; and technical
studies depicting the additional interference. The technical showings
and interference agreements will be used by FCC staff to determine if
the public interest would be served by the grant of the application and
to ensure that the proposed facilities will not result in additional
interference.
