Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 171 / Friday, September 4, 2009 / Notices 45855 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other for– 

profit entities; Not–for–profit 

institutions; State, local or tribal 

government. 

Number of Respondents and 

Responses: 5,170 respondents and 5,170 

responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 1–4 

hours. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

reporting requirement; Third party 

disclosure requirement. 

Total Annual Burden: 11,080 hours. 

Total Annual Costs: $19,096,297. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. The statutory 

authority for this information collection 

is contained in Sections 154(i), 303 and 

308 of the Communications Act of 1934, 

as amended. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

There is no need for confidentiality with 

this information collection. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No 

impact(s). 

Needs and Uses: On June 29, 2009, 

the Commission adopted a Report and 

Order, Amendment of Service and 

Eligibility Rules for FM Broadcast 

Translator Stations, MB Docket No. 07– 

172, FCC 09–59. In the Report and 

Order, the Commission adopted changes 

to the FM translator rules that would 

allow AM stations to use authorized FM 

translator stations to rebroadcast the AM 

signal locally, retransmitting their AM 

programming as a ‘‘fill–in’’ service. The 

adopted cross service translating rules 

limit FM translators to providing ‘‘fill– 

in’’ service only, specifically within the 

AM primary station’s authorized service 

area. In addition, the Commission 

limited the cross–service rule changes to 

‘‘currently authorized FM translators,’’ 

that is, those translators with licenses or 

permit in effect as of May 1, 2009. 

Therefore, the rule changes affecting 

this information collection will add a 

new universe of filers – AM stations – 

to this information collection. AM 

stations will use Form 349 to apply for 

authorizations to operate such FM 

translator stations. 

Consistent with actions taken by the 

Commission in the Report and Order, 

the following changes are made to Form 

349: Sections II and III of Form 349 

include new certifications concerning 

compliance with the AM station ‘‘fill– 

in’’ service requirements. Specifically, 

in the AM service, applicants certify 

that the coverage contour of the FM 

translator station is contained within 

the lesser of: (a) the 2 mV/m daytime 

contour of the AM primary station being 

rebroadcast, or (b) a 25–mile radius 

centered at the AM station’s transmitter 

site. The instructions for Sections II and 

III have been revised to assist applicants 

with completing the new questions. 

FCC Form 349 is used to apply for 

authority to construct a new FM 

translator or FM booster broadcast 

station, or to make changes in the 

existing facilities of such stations. This 

form also includes the third party 

disclosure requirement of 47 CFR 

73.3580. Section 73.3580 requires local 

public notice in a newspaper of general 

circulation of all application filings for 

new or major change in facilities. This 

notice must be completed within 30 

days of the tendering of the application. 

This notice must be published at least 

twice a week for two consecutive weeks 

in a three–week period. A copy of this 

notice must be placed in the public 

inspection file along with the 

application. 

FCC Form 302–DTV is used by 

licensees and permittees of Digital TV 

(’’DTV’’) broadcast stations to obtain a 

new or modified station license and/or 

to notify the Commission of certain 

changes in the licensed facilities of 

those stations. It may be used: (1) To 

cover an authorized construction permit 

(or auxiliary antenna), provided that the 

facilities have been constructed in 

compliance with the provisions and 

conditions specified on the construction 

permit; or (2) To implement 

modifications to existing licenses as 

permitted by 47 CFR 73.1675(c) or 

73.1690(c). 

FCC Form 340 is used by licensees 

and permittees to apply for authority to 

construct a new noncommercial 

educational (’’NCE’’) FM, TV, and DTV 

broadcast station, or to make changes in 

the existing facilities of such a station. 

The FCC Form 340 is only used if the 

station will operate on a channel that is 

reserved exclusively for noncommercial 

educational use, or in the situation 

where applications for NCE stations on 

non–reserved channels are mutually 

exclusive only with one another. 

Revisions to this information 

collection are due to revisions being 

made only to FCC Form 349.
