Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 10 / Thursday, January 15, 2009 / Notices 2589 

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 INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 3060–0763. 

Title: ARMIS Customer Satisfaction 

Report. 

Report No.: FCC 43–06. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit. 

Number of Respondents: 7 

respondents; 7 responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 720 

hours. 

Frequency of Response: Annual 

reporting requirement. 

Obligation to Respond: Mandatory. 

Statutory authority for these information 

collections are contained in 47 U.S.C. 

sections 161, 219, and 220. 

Total Annual Burden: 5,040 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: N/A. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

The Commission contends that areas in 

which detailed information is required 

are fully subject to regulation and the 

issue of data being regarded as sensitive 

will arise in special circumstances only. 

In such circumstances, the respondent 

is instructed on the appropriate 

procedures to follow to safeguard 

confidential data. Respondents may 

request confidential treatment of such 

information under 47 CFR 0.459 of the 

Commission’s rules. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission 

will submit this information collection 

to the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) after this 60 day comment period 

in order to obtain the full three year 

clearance from them. The Commission 

is requesting an extension (no change in 

the annual reporting requirement). 

There is no change in the number of 

respondents/responses and burden 

hours. 

In the Commission’s Memorandum 

and Opinion and Order and Notice of 

Proposed Rulemaking, WC Docket No. 

08–190, FCC 08–203, released 

September 6, 2008, the Commission 

granted in significant part AT&T’s 

petition for forbearance from the ARMIS 

service quality and infrastructure 

reporting requirements, subject to 

certain conditions. In addition, the 

Commission determined that its 

conclusions underlying its forbearance 

decision for AT&T also hold true for the 

other carriers required to file ARMIS 

Reports 43–05, 43–06, 43–07, and 43– 

08. Subject to certain conditions, the 

Commission found that the criteria of 

section 10(A)(1) and (a)(2) are satisfied. 

Given the burdens associated with the 

data reporting, and in light of the 

commitments of the reporting carriers, 

and other continuing regulatory 

requirements, the Commission 

determined that forbearance to be in the 

public interest. 

The Commission noted that the 

reporting carriers have committed to 

continue customer satisfaction data and 

to file those data publicly, through 

ARMIS Report 43–06 filing for 24 

months from the effective date of the 

Commission’s order. Further, the 

Commission noted that this will ensure 

continuity with regard to the customer 

satisfaction data that the Commission 

has collected up to this point, and 

affords the Commission a reasonable 

period of time to consider whether to 

adopt industry-wide reporting 

requirements. The Commission 

therefore adopted that commitment as a 

condition of its forbearance. Finally, the 

Commission granted the same 

forbearance relief to any similarly 

situated carriers who made the same 

commitment and made clear that the 

relief that the Commission granted is 

not otherwise conditional. 

In the NPRM portion of the 

Commission’s September 6, 2008 Order 

placed in the Federal Register on 

October 15, 2008 (73 FR 60997), the 

Commission recognized the possibility 

that customer satisfaction data 

contained in ARMIS Report 43–06 

might be useful to consumers to help

them make informed choices in a 

competitive market, but only if available 

from the entire relevant industry. The 

Commission tentatively concluded that 

it should collect this type of 

information, and seek comments on 

specific information that the 

Commission should collect. The 

Commission also asked for comments 

on the appropriate mechanism for such 

data collection. 

The ARMIS Report 43–06 provides 

the necessary detail to enable the 

Commission to fulfill its regulatory 

responsibilities. This report reflects the 

results of customer satisfaction surveys 

conducted by individual carriers from 

residential and business customers. This 

report captures trends in service quality. 

Automated reporting of these data 

greatly enhances the Commission’s 

ability to process and analyze the 

extensive amounts of data that are 

needed to administer its rules. 

Automating and organizing data 

submitted to the Commission facilitates 

the timely and efficient analysis of 

revenue requirements, rate-of-return and 

price caps, and provides an improved 

basis for auditing and other oversight 

functions.

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business and other forprofit entities; Not-for-profit 

institutions. 

Number of Respondents and 

Responses: 18,498 respondents; 36,996 

responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 0.166–

Total Annual Burden: 484,019 hours.

1934, as amended. 

Nature and Extend of Confidentiality: 

There is no need for confidentiality with 

this collection of information. 

Privacy Impact Assessment(s): No 

impact(s). 

Needs and Uses: 47 CFR 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.
