Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 11 / Friday, January 17, 2025 / Notices 5883 

sections that are covered by this 

collection relate to OVS. 

OMB Control Number: 3060–0937. 

Title: Establishment of a Class A 

Television Service, MM Docket No. 00– 

10. 

Form Number: Not applicable. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities. 

Frequency of Response: 

Recordkeeping requirement; Third party 

disclosure requirement; On occasion 

and quarterly reporting requirements. 

Number of Respondents and 

Responses: 385 respondents; 9,850 

responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 0.017 

hours-52 hours. 

Obligation To Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. The statutory 

authority for this collection of 

information is contained in sections 

154(i), 307, 308, 309 and 319 of the 

Communications Act of 1934, as 

amended. 

Total Annual Burden: 172,087 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: $1,851,000. 

Needs and Uses: On November 29, 

1999, the Community Broadcasters 

Protection Act of 1999 (CBPA), Public 

Law 106–113, 113 Stat. appendix I at 

pp. 1501A–594–1501A–598 (1999), 

codified at 47 U.S.C. 336(f), was 

enacted. That legislation provided that a 

low power television (LPTV) licensee 

should be permitted to convert the 

secondary status of its station to the new 

Class A status, provided it can satisfy 

certain statutorily-established criteria by 

January 28, 2000. The CBPA directs that 

Class A licensees be subject to the same 

license terms and renewal standards as 

full-power television licenses and that 

Class A licensees be accorded primary 

status as television broadcasters as long 

as they continue to meet the 

requirements set forth in the statute for 

a qualifying low power station. 

For those stations that met the 

certification deadline, the CBPA sets out 

certain certification procedures, 

prescribes the criteria to maintain a 

Class A license, and outlines the 

interference protection Class A stations 

must provide to analog, digital, LPTV 

and TV translator stations. The CBPA 

directs that Class A stations must 

comply with the operating requirements 

for full-service television broadcast 

stations in order to maintain Class A 

status. Therefore, beginning on the date 

of its application for a Class A license 

and thereafter, a station must be ‘‘in 

compliance’’ with the Commission’s 

operating rules for full-service television 

stations, contained in 47 CFR part 73.

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort 

to reduce paperwork burdens, and as

Act (PRA) of 1995, the Federal 

Communications Commission (FCC or 

the Commission) invites the general 

public and other Federal agencies to 

take this opportunity to comment on the 

following information collection. 

Comments are requested concerning: 

whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

Commission, including whether the 

information shall have practical utility; 

the accuracy of the Commission’s 

burden estimate; ways to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information collected; ways to minimize 

the burden of the collection of 

information on the respondents, 

including the use of automated 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology; and ways to 

further reduce the information 

collection burden on small business 

concerns with fewer than 25 employees. 

DATES: Written PRA comments should 

be submitted on or before March 18, 

2025. If you anticipate that you will be 

submitting comments, but find it 

difficult to do so within the period of 

time allowed by this notice, you should

person shall be subject to any penalty 

for failing to comply with a collection

does not display a valid Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) control 

number. 

OMB Control Number: 3060–0895. 

Title: Numbering Resource 

Optimization. 

Form Number: FCC Form 502. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities and State, Local, or Tribal

Needs and Uses: The data collected 

on FCC Form 502 helps the Commission 

manage the ten-digit North American 

Numbering Plan (NANP), which is 

currently being used by the United 

States and 19 other countries. Under the 

Communications Act of 1934, as 

amended, the Commission was given 

‘‘exclusive jurisdiction over those 

portions of the North American 

Numbering Plan that pertains to the 

United States.’’ Pursuant to that 

authority, the Commission conducted a 

rulemaking in March 2000 that the 

Commission found that mandatory data 

collection is necessary to efficiently 

monitor and manage numbering use. 

The Commission received OMB 

approval for this requirement and the 

following: 

(1) Utilization/Forecast Report; 

(2) Application for initial numbering 

resource; 

(3) Application for growth numbering 

resources; 

(4) Recordkeeping requirement; 

(5) Notifications by state 

commissions; 

(6) Demonstration to state 

commission; and 

(7) Petitions for additional delegation 

of numbering authority. 

The data from this information 

collection is used by the FCC, state 

regulatory commissions, and the 

NANPA to monitor numbering resource 

utilization by all carriers using the 

resource and to project the dates of area 

code and NANP exhaust.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FHFA is 

seeking comments on its collection of 

information regarding the minority and 

gender classification of individuals 

serving on the boards of directors of the 

Federal Home Loan Banks (Banks) and 

of the Office of Finance under FHFA’s 

regulations on Minority and Women 

Inclusion (MWI), codified at 12 CFR 

part 1223, which it will soon be 

submitting for renewal of the OMB 

control number under the PRA. 

A. Need for and Use of the Information 

Collection 

The Federal Home Loan Bank System 

consists of eleven regional Banks and 

the Office of Finance, which issues and 

services the Banks’ debt securities. The 

Banks are wholesale financial 

institutions, organized under authority 

of the Federal Home Loan Bank Act 

(Bank Act) to serve the public interest 

by enhancing the availability of 

residential housing finance and 

community lending credit through their 

member institutions and, to a limited 

extent, through certain eligible nonmember entities. Each Bank is 

structured as a regional cooperative that 

is owned and controlled by member 

financial institutions located within its 

district, which are also its primary 

customers. The Bank Act vests the 

management of each Bank in a board of 

directors that consists of two types of 

directors: (1) member directors, who are 

drawn from the officers and directors of 

member institutions located in the 

Bank’s district and who are elected to 

represent members in a particular state 

in that district; and (2) independent 

directors, who are unaffiliated with any 

of the Bank’s member institutions, but 

who reside in the Bank’s district and are 

elected on an at-large basis.1 The Office 

of Finance is also governed by a board 

of directors, which consists of the 

presidents of the eleven Banks and five 

independent directors.2

Section 1319A of the Federal Housing 

Enterprises Financial Safety and 

Soundness Act of 1992 (Safety and 

Soundness Act) requires that each of the 

Banks establish an Office of Minority 

and Women Inclusion (OMWI) to be 

responsible for all matters relating to 

diversity in its management, 

employment, and business activities, in 

accordance with requirements 

established by FHFA.3 Section 1319A 

also requires that each Bank implement 

standards and procedures to ensure, to 

the maximum extent possible, the 

inclusion and utilization of women and 

minorities ‘‘at all levels’’ of its business 

and activities, and submit an annual 

report to FHFA detailing actions taken 

to achieve those goals.4

FHFA’s MWI regulations implement 

those statutory requirements and also 

extend the requirements to the Office of 

Finance. The MWI regulations require 

generally that each Bank and the Office 

of Finance ‘‘develop, implement, and 

maintain policies and procedures to 

ensure, to the maximum extent possible
