Number of Respondents: 200.

Estimated Time per Response: 0.166

Needs and Uses: On December 8,

1998, the Commission adopted a Report

and Order in MM Docket No. 98–98, in

the matter of Amendment of Part 73 and

Part 74 Relating to Call Sign

Assignments for Broadcast Stations.

With this Report and Order, the

Commission modified its practices and

procedures with regard to the

assignment of call signs to radio and

television broadcast stations. Existing

procedures were replaced by an on-line

system for the electronic preparation

and submission of requests for the

reservation and authorization of new

and modified call signs. Access to the

call sign system is made via the Internet.

Section 74.783(e) permits any low

power television (LPTV) station to

request a four-letter call sign after

receiving its construction permit. All

initial LPTV construction permits will

continue to be issued with a fivecharacter LPTV call sign. This Report

and Order requires LPTV respondents to

use the on-line electronic system. To

enable these respondents to use this online system, the Commission eliminated

the requirement that holders of LPTV

construction permits submit with their

call sign requests a certification that the

station has been constructed, that

physical construction is underway at

the transmitter site, or that a firm

equipment order has been placed. The

on-line reservation and authorization

system was approved by OMB under

Control Number 3060–0188. All burden

associated with call sign requests are

included in Control Number 3060–0188.

Section 74.783(b) requires television

translator stations, whose station

21182 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 77 / Thursday, April 20, 2000 / Notices

identification is made by the television

station whose signals are being

rebroadcast by the translator, to furnish

current information with regard to the

translator’s call letters and location, and

the name, address and telephone

number of the licensee to be contacted

in the event of malfunction of the

translator.

The furnishing of current information

is used by the primary station licensee

and/or FCC staff in field investigations

to contact the translator licensee in the

event of malfunction of the translator.
