Information Collections Requirement 

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 June 7, 2022. 

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 

Williams at (202) 418–2918. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 3060–0706. 

Title: Sections 76.952 and 76.990, 

Cable Act Reform. 

Type of Review: Extension a currently 

approved collection. 

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

Government. 

Number of Respondents and 

Responses: 70 respondents; 70 

responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 1–8 

hours. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

reporting requirement; Third party 

disclosure requirement. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. The statutory 

authority for this collection of 

information is contained in the 

Telecommunications Act of 1996, 

Public Law 104–104, Sections 301 and 

302, 110 Stat. 56, 114–124. 

Total Annual Burden: 210 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: None. 

Needs and Uses: The information 

collection requirements contained in 47 

CFR 76.952 state that all cable operators 

must provide to the subscribers on 

monthly bills the name, mailing address 

and phone number of the franchising 

authority, unless the franchising 

authority in writing requests that the 

cable operator omits such information. 

The cable operator must also provide 

subscribers with the FCC community 

unit identifier for the cable system in 

their communities. 47 CFR 76.990(b)(1) 

requires that a small cable operator may 

certify in writing to its franchise 

authority at any time that it meets all 

criteria necessary to qualify as a small 

operator. Upon request of the local 

franchising authority, the operator shall 

identify in writing all of its affiliates 

that provide cable service, the total 

subscriber base of itself and each 

affiliate, and the aggregate gross 

revenues of its cable and non-cable 

affiliates. Within 90 days of receiving 

the original certification, the local 

franchising authority shall determine 

whether the operator qualifies for 

deregulation and shall notify the 

operator in writing of its decision, 

although this 90-day period shall be 

tolled for so long as it takes the operator 

to respond to a proper request for 

information by the local franchising 

authority. An operator may appeal to 

the Commission a local franchise 

authority’s information request if the 

operator seeks to challenge the 

information request as unduly or 

unreasonably burdensome. If the local 

franchising authority finds that the 

operator does not qualify for 

deregulation, its notice shall state the 

grounds for that decision. The operator 

may appeal the local franchising 

authority’s decision to the Commission 

within 30 days.

Disturbance of AM Broadcast Station 

Antenna Patterns. 

Form No.: Not applicable. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

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

Institutions. 

Number of Respondents and 

Responses: 1,195 respondents and 1,195 

responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 1–2 

hours. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

reporting requirement and third-party 

disclosure requirement. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. Statutory 

authority for this information collection 

is contained in Section 154(i) of the 

Communications Act of 1934, as 

amended. 

Total Annual Burden: 1,960 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: $1,078,200. 

Needs and Uses: On August 14, 2013, 

the Commission adopted the Third 

Report and Order and Second Order on 

Reconsideration in the matter of An 

Inquiry Into the Commission’s Policies 

and Rules Regarding AM Radio Service 

Directional Antenna Performance 

Verification, MM Docket No. 93–177, 

FCC 13–115. In the Third Report and 

Order in this proceeding, the 

Commission harmonized and 

streamlined the Commission’s rules 

regarding tower construction near AM 

stations. 

In AM radio, the tower itself functions 

as the antenna. Consequently, a nearby 

tower may become an unintended part 

of the AM antenna system, reradiating 


jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with NOTICES1
20860 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 68 / Friday, April 8, 2022 / Notices 

the AM signal and distorting the 

authorized AM radiation pattern. Our 

old rules contained several sections 

concerning tower construction near AM 

antennas that were intended to protect 

AM stations from the effects of such 

tower construction, specifically, 

Sections 73.1692, 22.371, and 27.63. 

These old rule sections imposed 

differing requirements on the broadcast 

and wireless entities, although the issue 

is the same regardless of the types of 

antennas mounted on a tower. Other 

rule parts, such as Part 90 and Part 24, 

entirely lacked provisions for protecting 

AM stations from possible effects of 

nearby tower construction. In the Third 

Report and Order the Commission 

adopted a uniform set of rules 

applicable to all services, thus 

establishing a single protection scheme 

regarding tower construction near AM 

tower arrays. The Third Report and 

Order also designates ‘‘moment 

method’’ computer modeling as the 

principal means of determining whether 

a nearby tower affects an AM radiation 

pattern. This serves to replace timeconsuming direct measurement 

procedures with a more efficient 

computer modeling methodology that is 

reflective of current industry practice. 

Information Collection Requirements 

Contained in this Collection: 47 CFR 

1.30002(a) requires a proponent of 

construction or modification of a tower 

within a specified distance of a 

nondirectional AM station, and also 

exceeding a specified height, to notify 

the AM station at least 30 days in 

advance of the commencement of 

construction. If the tower construction 

or modification would distort the AM 

pattern, the proponent shall be 

responsible for the installation and 

maintenance of detuning equipment. 

47 CFR 1.30002(b) requires a 

proponent of construction or 

modification of a tower within a 

specified distance of a directional AM 

station, and also exceeding a specified 

height, to notify the AM station at least 

30 days in advance of the 

commencement of construction. If the 

tower construction or modification 

would distort the AM pattern, the 

proponent shall be responsible for the 

installation and maintenance of 

detuning equipment. 

47 CFR 1.30002(c) states that 

proponents of tower construction or 

alteration near an AM station shall use 

moment method modeling, described in 

§ 73.151(c), to determine the effect of 

the construction or alteration on an AM 

radiation pattern. 

47 CFR 1.30002(f) states that, with 

respect to an AM station that was 

authorized pursuant to a directional 

proof of performance based on field 

strength measurements, the proponent 

of the tower construction or 

modification may, in lieu of the study 

described in § 1.30002 (c), demonstrate 

through measurements taken before and 

after construction that field strength 

values at the monitoring points do not 

exceed the licensed values. In the event 

that the pre-construction monitoring 

point values exceed the licensed values, 

the proponent may demonstrate that 

post-construction monitoring point 

values do not exceed the preconstruction values. Alternatively, the 

AM station may file for authority to 

increase the relevant monitoring point 

value after performing a partial proof of 

performance in accordance with 

§ 73.154 to establish that the licensed 

radiation limit on the applicable radial 

is not exceeded. 

47 CFR 1.30002(g) states that tower 

construction or modification that falls 

outside the criteria described in 

paragraphs § 1.30002(a) and (b) is 

presumed to have no significant effect 

on an AM station. In some instances, 

however, an AM station may be affected 

by tower construction notwithstanding 

the criteria set forth in paragraphs 

§ 1.30002(a) and (b). In such cases, an 

AM station may submit a showing that 

its operation has been affected by tower 

construction or alteration. Such 

showing shall consist of either a 

moment method analysis or field 

strength measurements. The showing 

shall be provided to (i) the tower 

proponent if the showing relates to a 

tower that has not yet been constructed 

or modified and otherwise to the current 

tower owner, and (ii) to the 

Commission, within two years after the 

date of completion of the tower 

construction or modification. If 

necessary, the Commission shall direct 

the tower proponent to install and 

maintain any detuning apparatus 

necessary to restore proper operation of 

the AM antenna. 

47 CFR 1.30002(h) states that an AM 

station may submit a showing that its 

operation has been affected by tower 

construction or modification 

commenced or completed prior to or on 

the effective date of the rules adopted in 

this Part pursuant to MM Docket No. 

93–177. Such a showing shall consist of 

either a moment method analysis or of 

field strength measurements. The 

showing shall be provided to the current 

owner and the Commission within one 

year of the effective date of the rules 

adopted in this Part. If necessary, the 

Commission shall direct the tower 

owner, if the tower owner holds a 

Commission authorization, to install 

and maintain any detuning apparatus 

necessary to restore proper operation of 

the AM antenna. 

47 CFR 1.30002(i) states that a 

Commission applicant may not propose, 

and a Commission licensee or permittee 

may not locate, an antenna on any tower 

or support structure, whether 

constructed before or after the effective 

date of these rules, that is causing a 

disturbance to the radiation pattern of 

the AM station, as defined in paragraphs 

§ 1.30002(a) and (b), unless the 

applicant, licensee, or tower owner 

completes the new study and 

notification process and takes 

appropriate ameliorative action to 

correct any disturbance, such as 

detuning the tower, either prior to 

construction or at any other time prior 

to the proposal or antenna location. 

47 CFR 1.30003(a) states that when 

antennas are installed on a 

nondirectional AM tower the AM 

station shall determine operating power 

by the indirect method (see § 73.51). 

Upon the completion of the installation, 

antenna impedance measurements on 

the AM antenna shall be made. If the 

resistance of the AM antenna changes, 

an application on FCC Form 302–AM 

(including a tower sketch of the 

installation) shall be filed with the 

Commission for the AM station to return 

to direct power measurement. The Form 

302–AM shall be filed before or 

simultaneously with any license 

application associated with the 

installation. 

47 CFR 1.30003(b) requires that, 

before antennas are installed on a tower 

in a directional AM array, the proponent 

shall notify the AM station so that, if 

necessary, the AM station may 

determine operating power by the 

indirect method (see § 73.51) and 

request special temporary authority 

pursuant to § 73.1635 to operate with 

parameters at variance. For AM stations 

licensed via field strength 

measurements (see § 73.151(a)), a partial 

proof of performance (as defined by 

§ 73.154) shall be conducted both before 

and after construction to establish that 

the AM array will not be and has not 

been adversely affected. For AM stations 

licensed via a moment method proof 

(see § 73.151(c)), the proof procedures 

set forth in § 73.151(c) shall be repeated. 

The results of either the partial proof of 

performance or the moment method 

proof shall be filed with the 

Commission on Form 302–AM before or 

simultaneously with any license 

application associated with the 

installation. 

47 CFR 1.30004(a) requires 

proponents of proposed tower 

construction or modification to an 

existing tower near an AM station that 


jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 68 / Friday, April 8, 2022 / Notices 20861 

are subject to the notification 

requirement in §§ 1.30002–1.30003 to 

provide notice of the proposed tower 

construction or modification to the AM 

station at least 30 days prior to 

commencement of the planned tower 

construction or modification. 

Notification to an AM station and any 

responses may be oral or written. If such 

notification and/or response is oral, the 

party providing such notification or 

response must supply written 

documentation of the communication 

and written documentation of the date 

of communication upon request of the 

other party to the communication or the 

Commission. Notification must include 

the relevant technical details of the 

proposed tower construction or 

modification, and, at a minimum, also 

include the following: Proponent’s 

name and address; coordinates of the 

tower to be constructed or modified; 

physical description of the planned 

structure; and results of the analysis 

showing the predicted effect on the AM 

pattern, if performed. 

47 CFR 1.30004(b) requires that a 

response to a notification indicating a 

potential disturbance of the AM 

radiation pattern must specify the 

technical details and must be provided 

to the proponent within 30 days. 

47 CFR 1.30004(d) states that if an 

expedited notification period (less than 

30 days) is requested by the proponent, 

the notification shall be identified as 

‘‘expedited,’’ and the requested 

response date shall be clearly indicated. 

47 CFR 1.30004(e) states that in the 

event of an emergency situation, if the 

proponent erects a temporary new tower 

or makes a temporary significant 

modification to an existing tower 

without prior notice, the proponent 

must provide written notice to 

potentially affected AM stations within 

five days of the construction or 

modification of the tower and cooperate 

with such AM stations to remedy any 

pattern distortions that arise as a 

consequence of such construction. 

47 CFR 73.875(c) requires an LPFM 

applicant to submit an exhibit 

demonstrating compliance with 

§ 1.30003 or § 1.30002, as applicable, 

with any modification of license 

application filed solely pursuant to 

paragraphs (c)(1) and (c)(2) of this 

section, where the installation is on or 

near an AM tower, as defined in 

§ 1.30002. 

47 CFR 73.1675(c)(1) states that where 

an FM, TV, or Class A TV licensee or 

permittee proposes to mount an 

auxiliary facility on an AM tower, it 

must also demonstrate compliance with 

§ 1.30003 in the license application. 

47 CFR 73.1690(c) requires FM, TV, or 

Class A TV station applicants to submit 

an exhibit demonstrating compliance 

with § 1.30003 or § 1.30002, as 

applicable, with a modification of 

license application, except for 

applications solely filed pursuant to 

paragraphs (c)(6) or (c)(9) of this section, 

where the installation is located on or 

near an AM tower, as defined in 

§ 1.30002.
