SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Commission has requested emergency 

OMB review of this collection with an 

approval by November 12, 2004. 

OMB Control Number: 3060–0185. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Title: Section 73.3613, Filing of 

Contracts. 

Form Number: N/A. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities; Not-for-profit 

institutions. 

Number of Respondents: 2,300. 

Estimated Hours per Response: 0.25 

to 0.5 hours. 

Frequency of Response:

Recordkeeping; On occasion reporting 

requirements; Third party disclosure. 

Total Annual Burden: 950 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: $80,000. 

Needs and Uses: In June 2003, the 

Commission adopted changes to 47 CFR 

Section 73.3613 and the FCC’s 

attribution rules. As a result, radio 

stations must now file agreements for 

the sale of advertising time (i.e., ‘‘Joint 

Sales Agreements’’ or ‘‘JSAs’’) that 

result in attribution under the 

Commission’s multiple ownership rules. 

This section also requires certain 

contracts to be retained at the station 

and made available for inspection by the 

Commission upon request. 

On June 24, 2004, the Court issued an 

Opinion and Judgment (‘‘Remand 

Order’’) in which it upheld certain 

aspects of the new ownership rules, 

including the attribution of JSAs among 

radio stations, while requiring further 

explanation for certain other aspects of 

the new rules. The Court stated that its 

prior stay of the new rules would 

remain in effect pending the outcome of 

the remand proceeding. The 

Commission has not yet responded to 

the Remand Order, but in the meantime 

the Commission filed a petition for 

rehearing requesting that the Court lift 

the stay partially—i.e., with respect to 

the radio ownership and JSA attribution 

rules which the Court’s Remand Order

upheld. 

On September 3, 2004, the Court 

issued an Order (‘‘Rehearing Order’’) 

which partially granted the 

Commission’s petition for rehearing, 

thus lifting the stay of the revised radio 

ownership and JSA attribution rules. As 

a result of the Rehearing Order, the 

Commission’s revised radio ownership 

and JSA attribution rules took effect on 

September 3, 2004. Implementation of 

the new radio ownership and JSA 

attribution rules, as required by the 

Rehearing Order, triggers the 

requirement for certain licensees to 

begin filing JSAs. 

47 CFR 73.3613 requires licensees of 

television and radio broadcast stations 

to file with the Commission: (a) 

Contracts relating to ownership or 

control and personnel; and (b) time 

brokerage agreements that result in 

arrangements being counted under the 

Commission’s multiple ownership rules. 

Television stations also must file 

network affiliation agreements.

Secretary.
