Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

There is no need for confidentiality with 

this collection of information. 

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATON: The 

purpose of the CSRIC is to provide 

recommendations to the FCC to ensure 

optimal security, reliability, and 

interoperability of communications 

systems, including public safety, 

telecommunications, and media 

communications. The recommendations 

to be provided by the CSRIC shall 

include those related to facilitating: (1) 

The security, reliability, operability and 

interoperability of public safety 

communications systems; (2) the 

security, reliability, operability, and 

interoperability of wireline, wireless, 

satellite, cable, and public voice and 

data networks; and (3) the security and 

reliability of broadcast and 

Multichannel Video Programming 

Distribution facilities. The CSRIC’s 

recommendations will also address: (1) 

Ensuring the availability of 

communications capacity during natural 

disasters, terrorist attacks, or other 

events that result in exceptional strain 

on the communications infrastructure; 

and (2) ensuring and facilitating the 

rapid restoration of communications 

services in the event of widespread or 

major disruptions. 

The Council’s duties may include: (1) 

Recommending best practices and 

actions the FCC can take to ensure the 

security, reliability, operability, and 

interoperability of today’s public safety 

communications systems, including 

dispatch systems, radio 

communications networks and facilities, 

and devices used by first responders. 

(This task should take into account the 

availability of new and advanced 

technologies such as broadband and 

Internet Protocol (IP) based 

technologies); (2) recommending best 

practices and actions the FCC can take 

to improve the reliability and resiliency 

of communications infrastructure. (This 

task should include a review and 

update, if appropriate, of best practices 

previously produced by the Network 

Reliability and Interoperability Council 

and the Media Security and Reliability 

Council, should take into account new 

and advanced technologies including 

broadband and IP-based technologies, as 

well as, to the extent appropriate, 

additional functionalities provided by 

wireless handsets such as Short Message 

Service (SMS) to create alternative 

means of communication to emergency 

response channels); (3) evaluating ways 

to strengthen the collaboration between 

communications service providers and 

public safety entities during 

emergencies and make 

recommendations for how they can be 

improved; (4) developing and 

recommending best practices and 

actions the FCC can take that promote 

reliable 9–1–1 and enhanced 9–1–1 

service, including procedures for: (a) 

Defining geographic coverage areas for 

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 

outages; (d) public safety answering 

point (PSAP) certification and testing 

requirements; (e) validation procedures 

for inputting and updating location 

information in relevant databases; and
