DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. AD21–9–000] 

The Office of Public Participation; 

Notice of Workshop and Request for 

Panelists 

Take notice that the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (Commission) 

will convene, in the above-referenced 

proceeding, a Commissioner-led 

workshop via webcast as part of an 

effort to establish the Office of Public 

Participation on April 16, 2021, from 

approximately 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. 

Eastern time. 

The workshop will provide interested 

parties with the opportunity to provide 

input to the Commission on the creation 

of the Office of Public Participation. The 

Commission intends to establish and 

operate the Office of Public 

Participation to ‘‘coordinate assistance 

to the public with respect to authorities 

exercised by the Commission,’’ 

including assistance to those seeking to 

intervene in Commission proceedings, 

pursuant to section 319 of the Federal 

Power Act (FPA). 16 U.S.C. 825q–1. 

Congress directed the Commission to 

provide, by June 25, 2021, to the 

Committees on Appropriations of both 

Houses of Congress a report on the 

Commission’s progress towards 

establishing the Office of Public 

Participation, including an 

organizational structure and budget for 

the office, beginning in fiscal year 2022. 

The Commission plans to hear input 

on the following considerations in 

forming the Office of Public 

Participation, including: (1) The office’s 

function and scope as authorized by 

section 319 of the FPA; (2) the office’s 

organizational structure and approach, 

including the use of equity assessment 

tools; (3) participation by tribes, 

environmental justice communities, and 

other affected individuals and 

communities, including those who have 

not historically participated before the 

Commission; and (4) intervenor 

compensation. The Commission seeks 

nominations for stakeholder panelists to 

provide input about each of these areas 

of consideration at the workshop by 

March 10, 2020. Each nomination 

should indicate name, contact 

information, organizational affiliation, 

what issue area the proposed panelist 

would speak on, and suggested 

workshop topics to 

OPPWorkshopNominations@ferc.gov. 

Supplemental notices will be issued 

prior to the workshop with further 

details regarding the agenda, panelists, 

meeting registration information, and 

electronic log-in information. The 

workshop will be open for the public to 

attend, and there is no fee for 

attendance. Information on the 

workshop will also be posted on the 

Calendar of Events on the Commission’s 

website, www.ferc.gov, prior to the 

event. 

The Commission also plans to 

separately convene several listening 

sessions to hear from stakeholders their 

recommendations on creating the Office 

of Public Participation. A supplemental 

notice will be issued prior to the 

listening sessions with session dates 

and additional details. 

The workshop will be accessible 

under section 508 of the Rehabilitation 

Act of 1973. For accessibility 

accommodations, please send an email 

to accessibility@ferc.gov or call toll free

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS 

COMMISSION 

[OMB 3060–1212; FRS 17489] 

Information Collection Being Reviewed 

by the Federal Communications 

Commission Under Delegated 

Authority 

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: 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. 

DATES: Written PRA comments should 

be submitted on or before April 27, 

2021. If you anticipate that you will be 

submitting comments but find it 

difficult to do so within the period of 

time allowed by this notice, you should 

advise the contact listed below as soon 

as possible. 

ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to 

Cathy Williams, FCC, via email to PRA@

fcc.gov and to Cathy.Williams@fcc.gov. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

additional information about the 

information collection, contact Cathy 

Williams at (202) 418–2918. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 3060–1212. 

Title: SDARS Political Broadcasting 

Requirements. 

Form Number: N/A. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities. 

Number of Respondents and 

Responses: 1 respondent; 1 response. 

Estimated Time per Response: 10 

hours. 

Frequency of Response: 

Recordkeeping requirement; On 

occasion reporting requirements; Third 

party disclosure requirement. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. The statutory 

authority which covers this information 

collection is contained in 47 U.S.C. 

309(a) and 307(a) of the 

Communications Act of 1934, as 

amended. 

Total Annual Burden: 20 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: No cost. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

Although the Commission does not 

believe that any confidential 

information will need to be disclosed in 

order to comply with the information 

collection requirements, applicants are 

free to request that materials or 

information submitted to the 

Commission be withheld from public 

inspection. (See 47 CFR 0.459 of the 

Commission’s Rules.) 

Privacy Impact Assessment: No 

impact(s). 

Needs and Uses: In 1997, the 

Commission imposed political 

broadcasting requirements on Satellite 

Digital Audio Broadcasting Service 

(‘‘SDARS’’) licensees. See Establishment 

of Rules and Policies for the Digital 

Audio Radio Satellite Service in the 

2310–2360 MHz Frequency Band, 12 

FCC Rcd 5754, 5792, para. 92 (1997) 

(‘‘1997 SDARS Order’’), FCC 97–70. The 

Commission stated that SDARS 

licensees should comply with the same 

substantive political debate provisions 

as broadcasters: The federal candidate 

access provision (47 U.S.C. Section 

312(a)(7)) and the equal opportunities 

provision (47 U.S.C. Section 315). The 

1997 SDARS Order imposes the 

following requirements on SDARS 

licensees: 

Lowest Unit Charge: Similar to 

broadcasters, SDARS licensees must 

disclose any practices offered to 

commercial advertisers that enhance the 

value of advertising spots and different 

classes of time. SDARS licensees must 

also calculate the lowest unit charge and 

are required to review their advertising 

records throughout the election period 

to determine whether compliance with 

this rule section requires that candidates 

receive rebates or credits. See 47 CFR 

Section 73.1942. 

Political File: Similar to broadcasters, 

SDARS licensees must also keep and 

permit public inspection of a complete 

record (political file) of all requests for 

SDARS origination time made by or on 

behalf of candidates for public office, 

together with an appropriate notation 

showing the disposition made by the 

system of such requests, and the charges 

made, if any, if the request is granted. 

The disposition includes the schedule 

of time purchased, when the spots 

actually aired, the rates charged, and the 

classes of time purchased. Also, when 

free time is provided for use by or on 

behalf of candidates, a record of the free 

time provided is to be placed in the 

political file as soon as possible and 

maintained for a period of two years. 

See 47 CFR 73.1943. 

In 2016, the Commission expanded 

the requirement that public inspection 

files be posted to the FCC-hosted online 

public file database to SDARS licensees, 

among other entities. These public files 

include the political files.
