21984 Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 85 / Wednesday, May 2, 2001 / Notices

OMB Approval No.: 3060–0788.

Title: DTV Showings/Interference

Agreements.

Form No.: FCC 301/FCC 340.

Type of Review: Revision of currently

approved collection.

Respondents: Businesses or other forprofit, not-for-profit institutions.

Number of Respondents: 350.

Estimated Hours Per Response: 55

hours (5 hours applicant; 40 hours

consulting engineer; 10 hours attorney).

Frequency of Response: On occasion.

Cost to Respondents: $2,800,000.

Estimated Total Annual Burden:

1,750 hours.

Needs and Uses: Section III–D of the

FCC 301 and Section VII of the FCC 340

begin with a ‘‘Certification Checklist.’’

This checklist contains a series of

questions by which applicants may

certify compliance with key processing

requirements. The first certification

requires conformance with the DTV

Table of Allotments. The Commission

allows flexibility for DTV facilities to be

constructed at locations within five

kilometers of the reference allotment

sites without consideration of additional

interference to analog or DTV service,

provided the DTV service does not

exceed the allotment reference height

above average terrain or effective

radiated power. In order for the

Commission to process applications that

cannot certify affirmatively, Section

73.623(c) requires applicants to submit

a technical showing to establish that

their proposed facilities will not result

in additional interference to TV

broadcast and DTV operations.

Additionally, the Commission permits

broadcasters to agree to proposed DTV

facilities that do not conform to the

initial allotment 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.

This collection has been revised to

remove all references to industry

frequency coordination committees.

These committees did not evolve.

Respondents have been using consulting

engineers and attorneys to prepare the

technical showings and interference

agreements.

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.

OMB Control Number: 3060–0960.
