Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 225 / Tuesday, November 23, 2010 / Notices 71433 

provides viewers (via their DTV 

receivers) with information about the 

station and what is being broadcast, 

such as program information. The 

Commission has recognized the utility 

that the ATSC PSIP standard offers for 

both broadcasters and consumers (or 

viewers) of digital television (‘‘DTV’’). 

ATSC PSIP standard A/65C requires 

broadcasters to provide detailed 

programming information when 

transmitting their broadcast signal. This 

standard enhances consumers’ viewing 

experience by providing detailed 

information about digital channels and 

programs, such as how to find a 

program’s closed captions, multiple 

streams and V-chip information. This 

standard requires broadcasters to 

populate the Event Information Tables 

(‘‘EITs’’) (or program guide) with 

accurate information about each event 

(or program) and to update the EIT if 

more accurate information becomes 

available. The previous ATSC PSIP 

standard A/65–B did not require 

broadcasters to provide such detailed 

programming information but only 

general information.

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS 

COMMISSION 

Notice of Public Information 

Collection(s) Being Reviewed by the 

Federal Communications Commission, 

Comments Requested 

November 17, 2010. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Communications 

Commission, as part of its continuing 

effort to reduce paperwork burden 

invites the general public and other 

Federal agencies to take this 

opportunity to comment on the 

following information collection(s), as 

required by the Paperwork Reduction 

Act (PRA) of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501–3520. 

Comments are requested concerning (a) 

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; 

(b) the accuracy of the Commission’s 

burden estimate; (c) ways to enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information collected; (d) 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 (e) 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 control 

number. No person shall be subject to 

any penalty for failing to comply with 

a collection of information subject to the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) that 

does not display a valid OMB control 

number. 

DATES: Written Paperwork Reduction 

Act (PRA) comments should be 

submitted on or before January 24, 2011. 

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 

Nicholas A. Fraser, Office of 

Management and Budget via fax at 202– 

395–5167 or via e-mail to 

Nicholas_A._Fraser@omb.eop.gov and 

to PRA@fcc.gov and 

Cathy.Williams@fcc.gov. Include in the 

e-mail the OMB control number of the 

collection. If you are unable to submit 

your comments by e-mail contact the 

person listed below to make alternate 

arrangements. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

additional information, contact Cathy 

Williams on (202) 418–2918. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 3060–1116. 

Title: Submarine Cable Reporting. 

Form Nos.: N/A. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit. 

Number of Respondents: 25 

respondents; 50 responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 550 

hours. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

and annual reporting requirements. 

Obligation to Respond: Voluntary. 

Total Annual Burden: 27,500 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: N/A. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

Information provided pursuant to this 

request will be viewed as presumptively 

confidential upon submission because 

the information would reflect reports on 

weaknesses in or damage to national 

communications infrastructure, and the 

release of this sensitive information to 

the public could potentially facilitate 

terrorist targeting of critical 

infrastructure and key resources. The 

submissions also may contain internal 

confidential information that constitutes 

trade secrets and commercial/financial 

information that the respondent does 

not routinely make public and public 

release of the submitted information 

could cause competitive harm by 

revealing information about the types 

and deployment of cable equipment and 

the traffic that flows across the system. 

The Commission is requesting that 

current submarine cable landing 

licensees voluntarily provide 

information regarding the system status 

and service restoration activities for the 

submarine cable systems and cable 

landing stations and information about 

the physical location, assets, and 

restoration plans for the submarine 

cable systems. There are currently 50 

authorized submarine cable systems, 

many having multiple entities on the 

cable landing license. (There are four 

pending cable landing license 

applications, and we anticipate 

conditioning grant of those licenses on 

compliance with this information 

request.) The Commission expects to 

request this information from 

approximately 25 different entities 

because, in many cases, the same entity 

is a licensee for more than one 

submarine cable system. We planned on 

contacting the cable landing licensees as 

soon as we received emergency OMB 

approval for this information request, 

and will request that the licensees 

respond, at least on a preliminary basis, 

by May 1, 2008. This information is 

needed in order to support Federal 

government national security and 

emergency preparedness 

communications programs, for the 

purpose of providing situational 

awareness of submarine cable system 

performance as well as a greater 

understanding of potential physical 

threats to the submarine cable systems. 

The Commission has been working with 

the Assistant Director for National 

Security and Emergency Preparedness, 

at the Office of Science and Technology 

Policy (OSTP) on this collection on 

behalf of other Executive Branch 

agencies, at the direction of the 

President. 

Marlene H. Dortch, 

Secretary.
