8026 Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 14 / Thursday, January 23, 2025 / Notices 

FCC 08–239, addressing certain issues 

raised in petitions for reconsideration 

and/or clarification filed in response to 

the Commission’s Report and Order and 

Third Order on Reconsideration (Junk 

Fax Order), FCC 06–42. In document 

FCC 08–239, the Commission clarified 

that: (1) Facsimile numbers compiled by 

third parties on behalf of the facsimile 

sender will be presumed to have been 

made voluntarily available for public 

distribution so long as they are obtained 

from the intended recipient’s own 

directory, advertisement, or internet 

site; (2) Reasonable steps to verify that 

a recipient has agreed to make available 

a facsimile number for public 

distribution may include methods other 

than direct contact with the recipient; 

and (3) a description of the facsimile 

sender’s opt-out mechanism on the first 

web page to which recipients are 

directed in the opt-out notice satisfies 

the requirement that such a description 

appear on the first page of the website. 

The Commission believes these 

clarifications will assist senders of 

facsimile advertisements in complying 

with the Commission’s rules in a 

manner that minimizes regulatory 

compliance costs while maintaining the 

protections afforded consumers under 

the Telephone Consumer Protection Act 

(TCPA). 

OMB Control Number: 3060–1209. 

Title: Section 73.1216, LicenseeConducted Contests. 

Form Number: None. (Complaints 

alleging violations of the Contest Rule 

generally are filed on via the 

Commission’s Consumer Complaint 

Portal entitled General Complaints,

Accessibility Complaints which is 

approved under OMB control number 

3060–0874). 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

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

institutions. 

Number of Respondents and 

Responses: 21,322 respondents; 21,322 

responses.

Total Annual Burden: 126,335 hours.

obtain or retain benefits. The statutory 

authority for this collection of 

information is contained in Sections 1, 

4 and 303 of the Communications Act 

of 1934, as amended. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission 

adopted the Contest Rule in 1976 to 

address concerns about the manner in 

which broadcast stations were 

conducting contests over the air. The 

Contest Rule generally requires stations 

to broadcast material contest terms fully 

and accurately the first time the 

audience is told how to participate in a 

contest, and periodically thereafter. In 

addition, stations must conduct contests 

substantially as announced. These 

information collection requirements are 

necessary to ensure that broadcast 

licensees conduct contests with due 

regard for the public interest. 

The Contest Rule permit broadcasters 

to meet their obligation to disclose 

contest material terms on an internet 

website in lieu of making broadcast 

announcements. Under the amended 

Contest Rule, broadcasters are required 

to (i) announce the relevant internet 

website address on air the first time the 

audience is told about the contest and 

periodically thereafter; (ii) disclose the 

material contest terms fully and 

accurately on a publicly accessible 

internet website, establishing a link or 

tab to such terms through a link or tab 

on the announced website’s home page, 

and ensure that any material terms 

disclosed on such a website conform in 

all substantive respects to those 

mentioned over the air; (iii) maintain 

contest material terms online for at least 

thirty days after the contest has ended; 

and (v) announce on air that the 

material terms of a contest have changed 

(where that is the case) within 24 hours 

of the change in terms on a website, and 

periodically thereafter, and to direct 

consumers to the website to review the 

changes.

Being Reviewed by the Federal 

Communications Commission Under 

Delegated Authority 

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort 

to reduce paperwork burdens, and as 

required by the Paperwork Reduction 

Act (PRA) of 1995, the Federal 

Communications Commission 

(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 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. The Commission may not 

conduct or sponsor a collection of 

information unless it displays a 

currently valid control number. No 

person shall be subject to any penalty 

for failing to comply with a collection 

of information subject to the PRA that 

does not display a valid Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) control 

number. 

DATES: Written PRA comments should 

be submitted on or before March 24, 

2025. 

ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to 

Cathy Williams, FCC, via email to PRA@

fcc.gov and to Cathy.Williams@fcc.gov. 

Include in the comments the Title as 

shown in the SUPPLEMENTARY

INFORMATION below. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

additional information or copies of the 

information collection, contact Cathy

currently approved collection.

Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 14 / Thursday, January 23, 2025 / Notices 8027 

authority for this information collection 

is contained in sections 154(i) and 

309(j)(5) of the Communications Act, as 

amended, 47 U.S.C. 4(i), 309(j)(5), and 

in sections 1.2105, 1.2110, 1.2112 of the 

Commission’s rules, 47 CFR 1.2105, 

1.2110, 1.2112. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 750 

hours. 

Total Annual Cost: None. 

Needs and Uses: A request for 

extension of this information collection 

(no change in requirements) will be 

submitted to the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) after this 60-day 

comment period in order to obtain the 

full three year clearance from OMB. FCC 

Form 175 is used by the public to apply 

to participate in auctions for 

Commission licenses and permits. The 

Commission’s auction rules and related 

requirements are designed to ensure that 

the competitive bidding process is 

limited to serious qualified applicants, 

deter possible abuse of the bidding and 

licensing processes, and enhance the 

use of competitive bidding to assign 

Commission licenses and permits in 

furtherance of the public interest. The 

information collected on FCC Form 175 

is used by the Commission to determine 

if an applicant is legally, technically, 

and financially qualified to participate 

in an auction for Commission licenses 

or permits. Additionally, if an applicant 

applies for status as a particular type of 

auction participant pursuant to 

Commission rules, the Commission uses 

information collected on FCC Form 175 

to determine whether the applicant is 

eligible for the status requested. 

Commission staff reviews the 

information collected on FCC Form 175 

for a particular auction as part of the 

pre-auction process, prior to the auction 

being held. Staff determines whether 

each applicant satisfies the 

Commission’s requirements to 

participate in the auction and, if an 

applicant claims status as a particular 

type of auction participant, whether that 

applicant is eligible for the status 

claimed. The information collection 

requirements on FCC Form 175 

currently approved under OMB Control 

Number 3060–0600 have not changed 

since they were last approved by OMB 

on May 16, 2022. The Commission 

plans to continue to use FCC Form 175 

for its upcoming auctions for 

Commission licenses and permits, 

including the forward auction 

component of any incentive auction, 

collecting only the information 

necessary for each particular auction.
