Budget (OMB).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For

additional information or copies of the

information collections contact Dorothy

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

OMB Approval Number: 3060–0582.

Title: 47 CFR 76.1302 Adjudicatory

proceedings.

Type of Review: Extension of existing

collection.

Respondents: Business or other forprofit.

Number of Respondents: 36. We

estimate there is 12 complaint

proceedings initiated per year. Each

complaint proceeding has two

respondents; a petitioning party and an

opposing party. In addition to these

respondents, there are also an estimated

12 respondents that underwent the

notification requirement and then were

able to resolve their dispute without

initiating a complaint proceeding. 12

complaints proceedings × 2 respondents

each + 12 respondents that only

undergo the notification requirement =

36 respondents.

Estimated Time Per Response: 1–20

hours. We estimate the average burden

for completing the notification

requirement to be 4 hours. We estimate

the total burden for each party in

undergoing all aspects of the complaint

proceeding to be 20 hours. We estimate

that 50% of entities will choose to use

outside counsel for the complaint

proceeding and will undergo a burden

of 4 hours to coordinate information

with outside counsel.

Total Annual Burden: 384 hours. 24

respondents will undergo the

notification requirement × 4 hours = 96

hours. This will result in 12 complaint

proceedings, each with 2 respondents.

12 (50%) of the respondents will

undergo a burden of 20 hours for all

aspects of the complaint proceeding. 12

× 20 hours = 240 hours. The remaining

12 (50%) respondents will use outside

counsel for the complaint proceeding ×

4 hours = 48 hours. 96 + 240 + 48 = 384.

Cost to Respondents: For the

complaint proceeding, 12 respondents

will use outside counsel at $150 per

hour. 12 × 20 hours × $150 = $36,000.

Needs and Uses: 47 CFR 76.1302

provides that any aggrieved video

programming vendor intending to file a

carriage agreement complaint must first

notify the potential defendant

multichannel video programming

distributor that it intends to file such a

complaint with the Commission. If the

parties cannot resolve the dispute, the

complainant may file a complaint with

the Commission. The data will be used

by Commission staff to resolve disputes

alleging a violation of the Commission’s

carriage agreement regulations. These

regulations will prevent multichannel

programming distributors from entering

into carriage agreements with video

programming vendors that are

conditioned on concessions of various

rights, including financial interests or

exclusivity.

OMB Approval Number: 3060–0339.

Title: 47 CFR 78.11 Permissible

service.

Type of Review: Extension of existing

collection.

Respondents: Business or other forprofit.

Number of Respondents: 2,200.

Estimated Time Per Response: We

estimate that the 2,200 current CARS

licensees will undergo an average

recordkeeping burden of .5 hours

complying with the requirements

contained in 47 CFR 78.11(d)(2).

2,200 × .5 = 1,100 hours. We estimate

that 100 CARS licensees will make

notifications with an average burden of

.5 hours in complying with the

requirements contained in 47 CFR

78.11(e).

100 × .5 = 50 hours.

Total Annual Burden: 1,150 hours.

(1,100 + 50).

Cost to Respondents: $4,500. ($2 per

respondent for photocopying and

administrative expenses associated with

recordkeeping. 2,200 × $2 = $4,400. $1

per respondent for postage and/or

telephone charges associated with the

notification requirements. 100 × $1 =

$100.)

Needs and Uses: 47 CFR 78.11(d)(2)

requires Cable Television Relay Service

(CARS) licensees supplying program

material to cable television systems,

other eligible systems (i.e., multipoint

distribution service and multichannel

multipoint distribution service) or

television translator stations to keep

records showing its non-profit, costsharing nature. 47 CFR 78.11(e) requires

that a CARS pickup station providing

temporary CARS studio-to-headend

links or CARS circuits must obtain prior

Commission authority, at least one day

prior, if the transmitting antenna to be

installed will increase the height of any

natural formation or manmade structure

more than 20 feet and will be in

existence for a period of more than two

consecutive days and provided further

that if transmitting equipment is to be

operated for more than 1 day outside of

the area to which a CARS station has

been licensed, the Commission, the

engineer in charge of the district in

which the station is licensed to operate,

and the engineer in charge of the district

in which the equipment will be

temporarily operated shall be notified at

least 1 day prior to such operation. If the

decision to continue operation for more

than 1 day is not made until the

operation has begun, notice shall be

given to the Commission and the

relevant engineers in charge within 1

day after such decision. In all instances,

the Commission and the relevant

engineers in charge shall be notified

when the transmitting equipment has

been returned to its licensed area.

The records are used by FCC staff in

field investigations to ensure that

contributions to capital and operating

expenses are accepted only on a costsharing, nonprofit basis. The

notifications will be used by FCC staff

to provide information regarding alleged

interference.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The Financial Institutions

Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act

of 1989 added a new Section 10(g) to the

Federal Home Loan Bank Act of 1932

requiring that members of the Federal

Home Loan Bank (FHLBank) System

meet standards for community

investment or service in order to

maintain continued access to long-term

FHLBank System advances. In

compliance with this statutory change,

the Federal Housing Finance Board

(Housing Finance Board) promulgated

Community Support regulations (12

CFR Part 936). Under the review process

established in the regulations, the

Housing Finance Board will select a

certain number of members for review

each quarter, so that all members that

are subject to the Community

Reinvestment Act of 1977, 12 U.S.C.

2901 et seq., (CRA), will be reviewed

once every two years. The purpose of

this Notice is to announce the names of

the members selected for the fourth

quarter review (1996–97 cycle) under

the regulations. The Notice also conveys

the dates by which members need to

comply with the Community Support

regulation review requirements and by

which comments from the public must

be received.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Selection for Community Support

Review

The Housing Finance Board currently

reviews all FHLBank System members

that are subject to CRA approximately

once every two years. Approximately

one-eighth of the FHLBank members in

each district will be selected for review

by the Housing Finance Board each

calendar quarter. To date, only members

that are subject to CRA have been

reviewed. In selecting members, the

Housing Finance Board follows the

chronological sequence of the members’

CRA Evaluations post-July 1, 1990, to

the greatest extent practicable, selecting

one-eighth of each District’s

membership for review each calendar

quarter. However, the Housing Finance

Board will postpone review of new

members until they have been System

members for one year.

Selection for review is not, nor should

it be construed as, any indication of

either the financial condition or

Community Support performance of the

institutions listed.
