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.

    Needs and Uses: The information collection requirements contained 
under 47 CFR 73.691(b) require TV stations to enter into the station 
log the date and time of the initial technical problems that make it 
impossible to operate a TV station in accordance with the timing and 
carrier level tolerance requirements. If this operation at variance is 
expected to exceed 10 consecutive days, a notification must be sent to 
the FCC. The licensee must also notify the FCC upon restoration of 
normal operations. Furthermore, a licensee must send a written request 
to the FCC if causes beyond the control of the licensee prevent 
restoration of normal operations within 30 days. The FCC staff use the 
data to maintain accurate and complete technical information about a 
station's operation. In the event that a complaint is received from the 
public regarding a station's operation, this information is necessary 
to provide an accurate response.

Federal Communications Commission.
Marlene Dortch,
Secretary, Office of the Secretary.
