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.

Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities.

Nature of Response: Required to obtain or retain benefits. The
statutory authority for this information collection is contained in
Section 4(i) and 340 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended.
Needs and Uses: The information collection requirements contained
in 47 CFR 76.54(b) state significant viewing in a cable television or
satellite community for signals not shown as significantly viewed under
47 CFR 76.54(a) or (d) may be demonstrated by an independent
professional audience survey of over-the-air television homes that
covers at least two weekly periods separated by at least thirty days
but no more than one of which shall be a week between the months of
April and September. If two surveys are taken, they shall include
samples sufficient to assure that the combined surveys result in an
average figure at least one standard error above the required viewing
level.
The information collection requirements contained in 47 CFR
76.54(c) are used to notify interested parties, including licensees or
permittees of television broadcast stations, about audience surveys
that are being conducted by an organization to demonstrate that a
particular broadcast station is eligible for significantly viewed
status under the Commission's rules. The notifications provide
interested parties with an opportunity to review survey methodologies
and file objections.
Lastly, 47 CFR 76.54(e) and (f), are used to notify television
broadcast stations about the retransmission of significantly viewed
signals by a satellite carrier into these stations' local market.
Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary, Office of the Secretary.
