Act of 1995, Public Law 104–13. An

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 control number.

Comments are requested concerning (a)

whether the proposed collection of

information is necessary for the proper

Commission, including whether the

information shall have practical utility;

(b) the accuracy of the Commission’s

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

OMB Approval No.: 3060–0027.

Title: Application for Construction

Permit for Commercial Broadcast

Station.

Form No.: FCC Form 301.

Type of Review: Revision of a

currently approved collection.
52102 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 193 / Monday, October 6, 1997 / Notices

Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities.

Number of Respondents: 1,996.

Estimated Hour Per Response: 37—

159 hours (average) per response.

Frequency of Response: On occasion

reporting requirement.

Cost to Respondents: $23,118,660.

Estimated Total Annual Burden:

8,071 hours.

Needs and Uses: On 4/3/97, the

Commission adopted a Fifth Report and

Order in MM Docket No. 87–268. This

Order adopted several rules with the

following objectives: (1) to promote the

success of free, universally available,

local broadcast television in a digital

world, thereby preserving free, widely

accessible programming that serves the

public interest; and (2) to attract

consumers swiftly to digital broadcast

service, thus allowing the NTSC

spectrum to be recovered and turned to

use for other beneficial purposes more

rapidly.

Section 336 of the

Telecommunications Act of 1996

requires that the Commission limit the

initial eligibility for digital television

(DTV) licenses to persons that, as of the

date of such issuance, are licensed to

operate a television broadcast station or

hold a permit to construct a television

broadcast station. The Commission has

issued a license to all eligible licensees

and permittees in the form of an

Appendix to the Fifth Report and Order

in MM Docket No. 87–268. By issuing

these DTV licenses with the Fifth Report

and Order, the Commission has frozen

initial eligibility and allowed the

completion of the Table of Allotments.

The license that we issued is a general

instrument of authorization for

licensees/permittees to receive and hold

a second 6 MHz channel for the purpose

of concerting to DTV. It is not an

authorization to begin construction or

operation.

To receive authorization for

commencement of DTV operation,

commercial broadcast licensees must

file FCC 301 for a construction permit.

This application may be filed anytime

after receiving the initial DTV license

but must be filed before the mid-point

in a particular applicant’s required

construction period. The Commission

has developed a new Section V–D for

DTV engineering which will be added to

the FCC 301. The Commission will

consider these applications as minor

changes in facilities. Applicants will not

have to supply full legal or financial

qualification information.

Acting Secretary.

respondents; 220 hours per response

(avg.); 33,000 total annual burden hours

for all collections.

Estimated Annual Reporting and

Description: ARMIS was implemented

to facilitate the timely and efficient

analysis of revenue requirements and

rate of return to provide an improved

basis for audits and other oversight

functions, and to enhance the

Commission’s ability to quantify the

effects of alternative policy. The ARMIS

Annual Summary Report (FCC Report

43–01), formerly the ARMIS quarterly

Report, contains financial and operating

data and is used to monitor the local

exchange carrier industry and to

perform routine analyses of costs and

revenues. FCC Report 43–01 facilitates

the annual collection of the results of

accounting, rate base and cost allocation

requirements prescribed in parts 32, 36,

64, 65, and 69. The information

contained in the ARMIS Annual

Summary Report provides the necessary

detail to enable the Commission to

fulfill its regulatory responsibilities.

Automated reporting of these data

greatly enhances the Commission’s

ability to process and analyze the

extensive amounts of data that are

needed to administer its rules. It

facilitates the timely and efficient

analyses of revenue requirements, rates

of return and price caps, and provides

an improved basis for auditing and

other oversight functions. It also

enhances the Commission’s ability to

quantify the effects of policy proposals.

Section 220 of the Communications Act

of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 220,

allows the Commission, at its discretion,

to prescribe the forms of any and all

accounts, records, and memoranda to be

kept by carriers subject to this Act,

including the accounts, records, and

memoranda of the movement of traffic,

as well as of the receipts and

expenditures of moneys. Section 219(b)

of the Communications Act of 1934, as

amended, 47 U.S.C. 219(b), authorizes

the Commission by general or special

orders to require any carriers subject to

this Act to file annual reports

concerning any matters with respect to

which the Commission is authorized or

required by law to act. Section 43.21 of

the Commission’s rules details that

requirement. Obligation to respond:

mandatory.
