and FCC-certified equipment) must 

notify the Commission upon completion 

of the transmitter modifications and 

shall certify compliance with all 

applicable transmission system 

requirements. 

j. 47 CFR 74.796(b)(6) provides that 

operators who modify their existing 

transmitter by use of a manufacturerprovided modification kit must 

maintain with the station’s records for a 

period of not less than two years, and 

will make available to the Commission 

upon request, a description of the nature 

of the modifications, installation and 

test instructions, and other material 

provided by the manufacturer, the 

results of performance-tests and 

measurements on the modified 

transmitter, and copies of related 

correspondence with the Commission. 

In addition, digital LPTV and TV 

translator operators who custom modify 

their transmitter must maintain with the 

station’s records for a period of not less 

than two years, and will make available 

to the Commission upon request, a 

description of the modifications 

performed and performance tests, the 

results of performance-tests and 

measurements on the modified 

transmitter, and copies of related 

correspondence with the Commission. 

k. Protection of Analog LPTV. In 

situations where protection of an 

existing analog LPTV or translator 

station without a frequency offset 

prevents acceptance of a proposed new 

or modified LPTV, TV translator, or 

Class A station, the Commission 

requires that the existing non-offset 

station install at its expense offset 

equipment and notify the Commission 

that it has done so, or, alternatively, 

negotiate an interference agreement 

with the new station and notify the 

Commission of that agreement. 

l. 47 CFR 74.798 requires all stations 

in the low power television services to 

provide notice of their upcoming digital 

transition to their viewers.

Auction, or going off the air as a result 

of a winning bid in the Incentive 

Auction, to notify their viewers of the 

date the station will terminate 

operations on its pre-Auction channel 

by running public service 

announcements, and allow these 

broadcasters to inform MVPDs of their 

relinquishment or change in channel. It 

requires channel sharing agreements 

enter into by television broadcast 

licensees to contain certain provisions 

regarding access to facilities, financial 

obligations and to define each party’s 

rights and responsibilities; the 

Commission will review each channel 

sharing agreement to ensure it comports 

with general rules and policies 

regarding license agreements. The 

provisions contained in this collection 

also require wireless licensees to notify 

low-power television and TV translator 

stations commence wireless operations 

and the likelihood of receiving harmful 

interference from the low power TV or 

TV translator station to such operations 

within the wireless licensee’s licensed 

geographic service area. Finally, it 

requires license relinquishment stations 

and channel sharing stations to comply 

with notification and cancellation 

procedures as they terminate operations 

on their pre-Auction channel.

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 of 1995 (PRA), the Federal 

Communications Commission (FCC or 

Commission) invites the general public 

and other Federal agencies to take this 

opportunity to comment on the 

following information collections.

Needs and Uses: The information 

collection requirements contained in 47 

CFR 73.623 requires applicants to 

submit a technical showing to establish 

that their proposed facilities will not 

result in additional interference to TV 

broadcast operations. The Commission 

permits broadcasters to agree to 

proposed TV facilities that do not 

conform to the allotted parameters, even 

though they might be affected by 

potential new interference. The 

Commission will consider granting 

applications on the basis of interference 

agreements if it finds that such grants 

will serve the public interest. These 

agreements must be signed by all parties 

to the agreement. In addition, the 

Commission needs the following 

information to enable such public 

interest determinations: A list of parties 

predicted to receive additional 

interference from the proposed facility; 

a showing as to why a grant based on 

the agreements would serve the public 

interest; and technical studies depicting 

the additional interference. The 

technical showings and interference 

agreements will be used by FCC staff to 

determine if the public interest would 

be served by the grant of the application 

and to ensure that the proposed 

facilities will not result in additional 

interference.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Following 

consultation with the General Services 

Administration the Commission intends 

to re-establish the charter on or before 

September 7, 2021 and provide the 

Committee with authorization to operate 

for two years from the effective date. 

Technology is continually evolving, 

offering new opportunities to 

circumvent the challenges of radio 

spectrum scarcity and interference and 

to foster the growth of ubiquitous, highspeed, low-latency connectivity. This 

kind of technical innovation is 

fundamental to the economic prosperity 

and national security of the United 

States. In the age of ever-faster technical 

development, maintaining the United 

States’ leadership in high priority 

emerging technologies will require 

careful planning and execution. The 

Commission must stay atop of new 

developments to ensure that the nation 

can continue to turn scientific research 

into usable communications 

technologies swiftly and efficiently. 

The Committee provides technical 

advice and makes recommendations to 

the Commission on issues and questions 

presented to it by the Commission. The 

Committee will focus on key issues 

affecting the development and 

deployment of emerging 

communications technologies to spur 

opportunities for innovation, 

competition, adoption, greater 

efficiencies, job creation, and other 

national priorities. The Committee will 

address questions referred to it through 

the Designated Federal Officer by the 

FCC Chair, the Chief of the FCC Office 

of Engineering and Technology, or the 

FCC Chief Technology Officer. The 

questions referred to the Committee will 

be directed to technological and 

technical issues in the field of 

communications. 

The Committee is organized under, 

and operates in accordance with, the 

provisions of the FACA. The Committee 

will be solely advisory in nature. 

Consistent with FACA and its 

requirements, each meeting of the 

Committee will be open to the public 

unless otherwise noticed. Records will 

be maintained of each meeting and 

made available for public inspection. 

All activities of the Committee will be 

conducted in an open, transparent, and 

accessible manner. The Committee shall 

terminate on September 7, 2023, or 

earlier upon the completion of its work
