stating that effective competition exists.

Also, Section 76.915 provides that if

cable operators have been denied a

change in status by their respective

LFAs, then operators may seek reviews

of those findings at the Commission by

filing petitions for revocation. The

information is used by the Commission

and LFAs to examine potential changes

in the regulatory status of cable systems

resulting from the presence of effective

competition in the systems’ franchise

areas.

OMB Number: 3060–0414.

Title: Terrain Shielding Policy.

Form Number: None.

Type of Review: Extension of an

existing collection.

Respondents: Business or other forprofit, not-for-profit institutions, state,

local or tribal government.

Number of Respondents: 300.

Estimated time per response: 10 hours

(1 hours respondent/9 hours consulting

engineer).

Total annual burden: 300.

Needs and Uses: The terrain shielding

policy requires respondents to submit

either a detailed terrain study, or to

submit letters of assent from all

potentially affected parties and graphic

depiction of the terrain when

intervening terrain prevents a low

power television applicant from

interferring with other low power

television or full-power television

stations. The data is used by FCC staff

to determine if adequate interference

protection can be provided by terrain

shielding and if a waiver of Sections

74.705 and 74.707 of the Rules is

warranted.
