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 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 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 Commission adopted on April 17, 2023, the

of the Commission's Rules to Establish Rules for Digital Low Power
Television and Television Translator Stations, Update of Parts 74 of
the Commission's Rules Related to Low Power Television and Television
Translator Stations, MB Docket Nos. 03-185 and 22-261, FCC 23-25. The
Report and Order adopted a number of revisions to the Commission's
rules to specify electronic rather than paper submission in the
following instances:
47 CFR 74.734(a)(4) requires that a notification must be made with
the Commission via a Change of Control Point Notice in the Commission's
Licensing and Management System (LMS) providing the name, address, and
telephone number of person(s) who may be called to secure suspension of
operation of a transmitter promptly should the FCC deem such action
necessary.
47 CFR 74.735(c)(4) requires that all azimuth plane patterns be
plotted in a PDF attachment to the application in LMS in a size
sufficient to be easily viewed. 47 CFR 74.735(c)(6) requires that all
azimuth plane patterns be plotted in a PDF attachment to the
application in LMS in a size sufficient to be easily viewed. 47 CFR
74.735(c)(7) requires that if a matrix pattern is submitted in the LMS
application form, similar tabulations must be provided as necessary in
the form of a spreadsheet attachment to the application in LMS to
accurately represent the pattern.
47 CFR 74.763(b) provides that in the event that causes beyond the
control of the low power or translator station licensee make it
impossible to continue operating, the licensee may discontinue
operation for a period of not more than 30 days without further
authority from the FCC. 47 CFR 74.763(b) requires that no later than
the tenth day of discontinued operation, notification must be sent
electronically via a Suspension of Operations Notice filing in the
Commission's LMS database. In the event normal operation is restored
before the end of the 30 day period, the licensee must notify the FCC
of the date that normal operations resumed by filing a Resumption of
Operations Notice filing in LMS. Finally, Section 74.763(b) requires
that if causes beyond the control of the licensee make it impossible to
comply within the allowed period, a licensee may make a request for
Special Temporary Authority via LMS no later than the 30th day for such
additional time as may be necessary.
Federal Communications Commission.
