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 March 5, 

2024. 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

Title: AM Station Modulation 

Dependent Carrier Level (MDCL) 

Notification Form; FCC Form 338. 

Form Number: FCC Form 338. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

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

institutions. 

Number of Respondents and 

Responses: 15 respondents and 15 

responses. 

Estimated Hours per Response: 1 

hour. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

reporting requirement. 

Total Annual Burden: 15 hours. 

Total Annual Costs: No cost. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. The statutory 

authority for this information collection 

is contained in sections 154(i), 303, 310 

and 533 of the Communications Act of 

1934, as amended. 

Needs and Uses: FCC Form 338, AM 

Station Modulation Dependent Carrier 

Level (MDCL) Notification Form is used 

by AM broadcasters to implement 

MDCL technologies without prior 

authorization, by electronic notification 

within 10 days of commencing MDCL 

operations. In addition to the standard 

general contact information, FCC Form 

338 solicits minimal technical data, as 

well as the date that MDCL control 

operations commenced. 

In October 2015, the Commission 

adopted its proposal for wider 

implementation of MDCL control 

technologies and amended section 

73.1560(a) of the rules. 47 CFR 

73.1560(a)(1) is consequentially covered 

by this information collection. This rule 

specifies the limits on antenna input 

power for AM stations. AM stations 

using MDCL control technologies are 

not required to adhere to these operating 

power parameters. The rule provides 

that an AM station may commence 

MDCL control technology without prior 

Commission authority, provided that 

within ten days after commencing such 

operation, the AM station licensee 

submits an electronic notification of 

commencement of MDCL operation 

using FCC Form 338. 

The Commission is now requesting a 

three year extension for this collection 

from the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

GSA, in compliance with the 

FedRAMP Authorization Act of 2022, 

established the FSCAC, an advisory 

committee in accordance with the 

provisions of the Federal Advisory 

Committee Act, as amended (5 U.S.C. 

10). The Federal Risk and Authorization 

Management Program (FedRAMP) 

within GSA is responsible for providing 

a standardized, reusable approach to 

security assessment and authorization 

for cloud computing products and 

services that process unclassified 

information used by agencies. 

The FSCAC will provide advice and 

recommendations to the Administrator 

of GSA, the FedRAMP Board, and 

agencies on technical, financial, 

programmatic, and operational matters 

regarding the secure adoption of cloud 

computing products and services. The 

FSCAC will ensure effective and 

ongoing coordination of agency 

adoption, use, authorization, 

monitoring, acquisition, and security of 

cloud computing products and services 

to enable agency mission and 

administrative priorities. The purposes 

of the Committee are: 

• To examine the operations of 

FedRAMP and determine ways that 

authorization processes can 

continuously be improved, including 

the following: 

Æ Measures to increase agency reuse 

of FedRAMP authorizations. 

Æ Proposed actions that can be 

adopted to reduce the burden, 

confusion, and cost associated with 

FedRAMP authorizations for cloud 

service providers. 

Æ Measures to increase the number of 

FedRAMP authorizations for cloud 

computing products and services 

offered by small businesses concerns (as 

defined by section 3(a) of the Small 

Business Act (15 U.S.C. 632(a)).

Æ Proposed actions that can be 

adopted to reduce the burden and cost 

of FedRAMP authorizations for 

agencies. 

• Collect information and feedback 

on agency compliance with, and 

implementation of, FedRAMP 

requirements. 

• Serve as a forum that facilitates 

communication and collaboration 

among the FedRAMP stakeholder 

community. 

The FSCAC will meet no fewer than 

three (3) times a calendar year. Meetings 

shall occur as frequently as needed, 

called, and approved by the DFO. 

Meetings may be held virtually or in 

person. Members will serve without 

compensation and may be allowed 

travel expenses, including per diem, in 

accordance with 5 U.S.C. 5703. 

The Committee shall be comprised of 

not more than 15 members who are 

qualified representatives from the 

public and private sectors, appointed by 

the Administrator, in consultation with 

the Director of OMB, as follows: 

i. The GSA Administrator or the GSA 

Administrator’s designee, who shall be 

the Chair of the Committee. 

ii. At least one representative each 

from the Cybersecurity and 

Infrastructure Security Agency and the 

National Institute of Standards and 

Technology. 

iii. At least two officials who serve as 

the Chief Information Security Officer 

within an agency, who shall be required 

to maintain such a position throughout 

the duration of their service on the 

Committee. 

iv. At least one official serving as 

Chief Procurement Officer (or 

equivalent) in an agency, who shall be 

required to maintain such a position 

throughout the duration of their service 

on the Committee. 

v. At least one individual representing 

an independent assessment organization 

vi. At least five representatives from 

unique businesses that primarily 

provide cloud computing services or 

products, including at least two 

representatives from a small business 

(as defined by section 3(a) of the Small 

Business Act (15 U.S.C. 632(a))). 

vii. At least two other representatives 

from the Federal Government as the 

Administrator determines to be 

necessary to provide sufficient balance, 

insights, or expertise to the Committee. 

Each member shall be appointed for a 

term of three (3) years, except the initial 

terms, which were staggered into one 

(1), two (2) or three (3) year terms to 

establish a rotation in which one third 

of the members are selected. No member 

shall be appointed for more than two (2) 

consecutive terms nor shall any member 

serve for more than six (6) consecutive 

years. GSA values opportunities to 

increase diversity, equity, inclusion and 

accessibility on its federal advisory 

committees. 

Members will be designated as 

Regular Government Employees (RGEs) 

or Representative members as 

appropriate and consistent with Section 

3616(d) of the FedRAMP Authorization 

Act of 2022. GSA’s Office of General 

Counsel will assist the Designated 

Federal Officer (DFO) to determine the 

advisory committee member 

designations. Representatives are 

members selected to represent a specific 

point of view held by a particular group, 

organization, or association. Members 

who are full time or permanent parttime Federal civilian officers or 

employees shall be appointed to serve 

as Regular Government Employee (RGE) 

members. In accordance with OMB 

Final Guidance published in the 

Federal Register on October 5, 2011 and 

revised on August 13, 2014, federally 

registered lobbyists may not serve on 

the Committee in an individual capacity 

to provide their own individual best 

judgment and expertise, such as RGEs 

members. This ban does not apply to 

lobbyists appointed to provide the 

Committee with the views of a 

particular group, organization, or 

association, such as Representative 

members. 

Applications 

Applications are being accepted to fill 

the remaining terms of two vacant seats 

and to fill two seats with upcoming 

expiring terms. These four seats will be 

designated as Representative members: 

Two (2) seats for representatives of a 

unique business that primarily provides 

cloud computing products or services. 

One seat will be appointed to serve for 

the remainder of the vacant term, 

scheduled to end in May 2025, and the 

other will be appointed for a three year 

term. 

Two (2) seats for representatives of a 

unique business that primarily provides 

cloud computing products or services 

from a small business (as defined by 

section 3(a) of the Small Business Act 

(15 U.S.C. 632(a))). One seat will be 

appointed to serve for the remainder of 

the vacant term, scheduled to end in 

July 2026, and the other will be 

appointed for a three year term. 

Applications for membership on the
