SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 3060–0010. 

Title: Ownership Report for 

Commercial Broadcast Stations, FCC 

Form 323; Section 73.3615, Ownership 

Reports; Section 74.797, Biennial 

Ownership Reports. 

Form Number: FCC Form 323. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities; not-for-profit institutions; 

State, Local, or Tribal Governments. 

Number of Respondents: 4,340 

respondents; 4,340 responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 1.5 to 

2.5 hours. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

reporting requirement; biennial 

reporting requirement. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. Statutory 

authority for these collections are 

contained in 47 U.S.C. 151, 152(a), 

154(i), 257, 303(r), 307, 309, and 310. 

Total Annual Burden: 9,620 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: $10,220,980. 

Needs and Uses: On January 20, 2016, 

the Commission released a Report and 

Order, Second Report and Order, and 

Order on Reconsideration in MB Docket 

Nos. 07–294, 10–103, and MD Docket 

No. 10–234 (Second Report and Order). 

The Second Report and Order refines 

the collection of data reported on FCC 

Form 323, Ownership Report for 

Commercial Broadcast Stations, and 

FCC Form 323–E, Ownership Report for 

Noncommercial Broadcast Stations. 

Specifically, the Second Report and 

Order implements a Restricted Use FRN 

(RUFRN) within the Commission’s 

Registration System (CORES) that 

individuals may use solely for the 

purpose of broadcast ownership report 

filings; eliminates the availability of the 

Special Use FRN (SUFRN) for broadcast 

station ownership reports, except in 

very limited circumstances; prescribes 

revisions to Form 323–E that conform 

the reporting requirements for 

noncommercial educational (NCE) 

broadcast stations more closely to those 

for commercial stations; and makes a 

number of significant changes to the 

Commission’s reporting requirements 

that reduce the filing burdens on 

broadcasters, streamline the process, 

and improve data quality. These 

enhancements enable the Commission 

to obtain data reflecting a useful, 

accurate, and thorough assessment of 

minority and female broadcast station 

ownership in the United States while 

reducing certain filing burdens. 

Currently, Form 323, Section II–A/II– 

B, Question 2.c asks ‘‘Does the 

Respondent or any interest holder 

reported in response to Question 2(a) 

hold an attributable interest in any 

newspaper entities in the same market 

as any station for which this report is 

filed, as defined in 47 CFR 73.3555?’’ 

This question was relevant to the 

Commission’s Newspaper/Broadcast 

Cross-Ownership Rule, which 

prohibited common ownership of a fullpower broadcast station and a daily 

newspaper if the station’s contour 

(defined separately by type of station) 

completely encompassed the 

newspaper’s city of publication and the 

station and newspaper were in the same 

relevant Nielsen market. On November 

20, 2017, the Commission released an 

Order on Reconsideration and Notice of 

Proposed Rulemaking in MB Docket 

Nos, 04–256, 07–294, 09–182, 14–50, 

and 17–289 (Order on Reconsideration). 

Among other things, the Order on 

Reconsideration repealed the 

Newspaper/Broadcast Cross-Ownership 

Rule. Accordingly, Section II–A/II–B, 

Question 2.c will be eliminated from 

Form 323. 

Licensees of commercial AM, FM, and 

full power television broadcast stations, 

as well as licensees of Class A and Low 

Power Television stations, must file FCC 

Form 323 every two years. Biennial 

Ownership Reports shall provide 

information accurate as of October 1 of 

the year in which the Report is filed. 

Form 323 shall be filed by December 1 

in all odd-numbered years. 

In addition, Licensees and Permittees 

of commercial AM, FM, and full power 

television stations must file Form 323 

following the consummation of a 

transfer of control or an assignment of 

a commercial AM, FM, or full power 

television station license or construction 

permit; a Permittee of a new commercial 

AM, FM, or full power television station 

must file Form 323 within 30 days after 

the grant of the construction permit; and 

a Permittee of a new commercial AM, 

FM, or full power television broadcast 

station must file Form 323 to update the 

initial report or to certify the continuing 

accuracy and completeness of the 

previously filed report on the date that 

the Permittee applies for a license to 

cover the construction permit. 

In the case of organizational 

structures that include holding 

companies or other forms of indirect 

ownership, a separate Form 323 must be 

filed for each entity in the 

organizational structure that has an 

attributable interest in the Licensee or 

Permittee.

Information Collections Requirement 

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 (PRA) of 1995, the Federal 

Communications Commission 

(Commission) invites the general public 

and other Federal agencies to take this 

opportunity to comment on the 

following information collection. 

Comments are requested concerning: 

Whether the 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 Commission 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 PRA that 

does not display a valid Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) control 

number. 

DATES: Written PRA comments should 

be submitted on or before June 7, 2022. 

ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to 

Cathy Williams, FCC, via email to PRA@

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

Include in the comments the Title as 

shown in the SUPPLEMENTARY

INFORMATION below. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

additional information or copies of the 

information collection, contact Cathy 

Williams at (202) 418–2918. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 3060–0706. 

Title: Sections 76.952 and 76.990, 

Cable Act Reform. 

Type of Review: Extension a currently 

approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities; State, Local or Tribal 

Government. 

Number of Respondents and 

Responses: 70 respondents; 70 

responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 1–8 

hours. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

reporting requirement; Third party 

disclosure requirement. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. The statutory 

authority for this collection of 

information is contained in the 

Telecommunications Act of 1996, 

Public Law 104–104, Sections 301 and 

302, 110 Stat. 56, 114–124. 

Total Annual Burden: 210 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: None. 

Needs and Uses: The information 

collection requirements contained in 47 

CFR 76.952 state that all cable operators 

must provide to the subscribers on 

monthly bills the name, mailing address 

and phone number of the franchising 

authority, unless the franchising 

authority in writing requests that the 

cable operator omits such information. 

The cable operator must also provide 

subscribers with the FCC community 

unit identifier for the cable system in 

their communities. 47 CFR 76.990(b)(1) 

requires that a small cable operator may 

certify in writing to its franchise 

authority at any time that it meets all 

criteria necessary to qualify as a small 

operator. Upon request of the local 

franchising authority, the operator shall 

identify in writing all of its affiliates 

that provide cable service, the total 

subscriber base of itself and each 

affiliate, and the aggregate gross 

revenues of its cable and non-cable 

affiliates. Within 90 days of receiving 

the original certification, the local 

franchising authority shall determine 

whether the operator qualifies for 

deregulation and shall notify the 

operator in writing of its decision, 

although this 90-day period shall be 

tolled for so long as it takes the operator 

to respond to a proper request for 

information by the local franchising 

authority. An operator may appeal to 

the Commission a local franchise 

authority’s information request if the 

operator seeks to challenge the 

information request as unduly or 

unreasonably burdensome. If the local 

franchising authority finds that the 

operator does not qualify for 

deregulation, its notice shall state the 

grounds for that decision. The operator 

may appeal the local franchising 

authority’s decision to the Commission 

within 30 days.

the Commission adopted the Third 

Report and Order and Second Order on 

Reconsideration in the matter of An 

Inquiry Into the Commission’s Policies 

and Rules Regarding AM Radio Service 

Directional Antenna Performance 

Verification, MM Docket No. 93–177, 

FCC 13–115. In the Third Report and 

Order in this proceeding, the 

Commission harmonized and 

streamlined the Commission’s rules 

regarding tower construction near AM 

stations. 

In AM radio, the tower itself functions 

as the antenna. Consequently, a nearby 

tower may become an unintended part 

of the AM antenna system, reradiating
