Total Annual Burden: 460 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: $304,000. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No 

impact(s). 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

There is no need for confidentiality with 

this collection of information. 

Needs and Uses: On April 16, 2003, 

the FCC released a Report and Order 

and Memorandum Opinion and Order 

on Reconsideration, In the Matter of 

Remedial Steps for Failure to Comply 

with Digital Television Construction 

Schedule, MM Docket No. 02–113, FCC 

03–77 (‘‘R&O’’). The Commission 

adopted a series of remedial measures 

for stations that fail to construct their 

digital television (DTV) facilities in a 

timely fashion and fail to justify an 

extension of their DTV construction 

deadline. Stations will be subject to 

periodic reporting requirements. 

Under the first step, the Commission 

will deny the request for an unqualified 

extension and admonish the station for 

its failure to comply with its DTV 

construction obligation. The station 

must submit a report within thirty days 

outlining the steps it intends to take to 

complete construction and the 

approximate date that it expects to reach 

each of these construction milestones. 

Sixty days after its initial report, the 

station must submit a report detailing its 

progress on meeting its proposed 

construction milestones and justifying 

any delays it has encountered. 

Under the second step in the 

approach, if the station has not come 

into compliance with the DTV 

construction rule within a six-month 

period, then, absent extraordinary and 

compelling circumstances, the 

Commission will issue a Notice of 

Apparent Liability for forfeiture to the 

licensee and require that the station 

report every thirty days on its proposed 

construction milestones and its efforts 

to meet those milestones. Once again, 

failure to adequately demonstrate that 

the station was taking all reasonable 

steps towards construction and to justify 

any additional delays that were 

encountered will result in the 

imposition of additional sanctions. 

Under the third and final step in the 

approach, if the station still had failed 

to come into compliance with the DTV 

construction rule within an additional 

six-month period of time (i.e., one year 

from the date of the formal admonition), 

then, absent extraordinary and 

compelling circumstances, the 

Commission will consider its 

construction permit for its DTV facilities 

to have expired and will rescind the 

station’s DTV authorization. The 

Commission concluded that no hearing 

was necessary prior to rescinding the 

station’s DTV authorization. The 

Commission also concluded that it 

would not make the station’s vacant 

DTV allotment available. The 

Commission also announced that the 

station will be required to surrender its 

analog authorization at the end of the 

DTV transition.
