responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 0.166– 

26 hours. 

Frequency of Response: 

Recordkeeping requirement; Third party 

disclosure requirement; Weekly 

reporting requirement. 

Total Annual Burden: 484,019 hours.

Needs and Uses: 47 CFR Section 

73.1870 requires that the licensee of an 

AM, FM, or TV broadcast station 

designate a chief operator of the station. 

Section 73.1870(b)(3) requires that this 

designation must be in writing and 

posted with the station license. Section 

73.1230 requires that all licensees post 

station licenses ‘‘at the place the 

licensee considers the principal control 

point of the transmitter’’ generally at the 

transmitter site. Agreements with chief 

operators serving on a contract basis 

must be in writing with a copy kept in 

the station files. Section 73.1870(c)(3) 

requires that the chief operator, or 

personnel delegated and supervised by 

the chief operator, review the station 

records at least once each week to 

determine if required entries are being 

made correctly, and verify that the 

station has been operated in accordance 

with FCC rules and the station 

authorization. Upon completion of the 

review, the chief operator must date and 

sign the log, initiate corrective action 

which may be necessary and advise the 

station licensee of any condition which 

is repetitive. The posting of the 

designation of the chief operator is used 

by interested parties to readily identify 

the chief operator. The review of the 

station records is used by the chief 

operator, and FCC staff in 

investigations, to ensure that the station 

is operating in accordance with its 

station authorization and the FCC rules 

and regulations.

Needs and Uses: Commercial 

television broadcast stations and Class 

A television broadcast stations are both 

required to file FCC Form 398. FCC 

Form 398 is a standardized form that 

provides a consistent format for 

reporting by all licensees, and facilitates 

efforts by the public and the FCC to 

monitor compliance with the Children’s 

Television Act. 

These commercial television 

broadcast station licensees and the Class 

A television broadcast station licensees 

both use FCC Form 398 to identify the 

individual station, and to identify the 

children’s educational and 

informational programs, which the 

station broadcasts on both the regularly 

scheduled and preempted core 

programming, to meet the station’s 

obligation under the Children’s 

Television Act of 1990 (CTA). 

Each quarter, the licensee is required 

to place in its public inspection file a 

‘‘Children’s Television Programming 

Report’’ and to file the FCC Form 398 

each quarter with the Commission. The 

licensee must also complete a 

‘‘Preemption Report’’ for each 

preempted core program during the 

quarter. This ‘‘Preemption Report’’ 

requests information on the date of each 

preemption, if the program was 

rescheduled, the date and time the 

program was aired, and the reason for 

the preemption.

public safety answering points; (b) 

defining network diversity requirements 

for delivery of IP-enabled 9–1–1 and 

enhanced 9–1–1 calls; (c) call-handling 

in the event of call overflow or network
