Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 113 / Monday, June 13, 2022 / Notices 35773 

Specifically, pertaining to this 

Information Collection and full-service 

FM stations, the Commission is revising 

the relevant rules, 47 CFR 73.316 and 47 

CFR 73.1690, and corresponding 

instructions, as follows: 

Gives an FM license applicant that 

employs a directional antenna the 

option of submitting computergenerated proofs of the FM directional 

antenna pattern prepared by the 

antenna’s manufacturer, in lieu of 

measured pattern plots and tabulations 

derived from physical full-size or scale 

model antenna mockups. 

In Section 73.316, specifies the 

information required in a license 

application filed for a station using an 

FM directional antenna, which opts to 

use computer modeling pattern 

verification. For example, the license 

application must include a statement 

from the engineer responsible for 

designing the antenna, performing the 

modeling, and preparing the antenna 

manufacturer’s instructions for 

installation of the antenna, that 

identifies and describes the software 

used to create the computer model, the 

software tool(s) used in the modeling 

and the procedures applied in using the 

software. The statement should describe 

all radiating structures included in the 

model. It must also include a 

certification that the software executed 

normally without generating error 

messages or warnings. 

Requires that, the first time the 

directional pattern of a particular model 

of antenna is verified using computer 

results, the broadcast station must 

submit to the Commission both the 

results of the computer modelling and 

the measurements of either a full-size or 

scale model of the antenna or elements 

thereof, demonstrating a reasonable 

correlation between the measurements 

achieved and the computer model 

results. Once a particular antenna model 

or series of elements has been verified, 

subsequent applicants using the same 

antenna model number or elements and 

the same modeling software may crossreference the original submission by 

providing the application file number. 

The revisions to the relevant rules and 

corresponding Schedule 302–FM 

instructions listed above may 

potentially affect the substance, burden 

hours, and costs of completing the 

Schedule 302–FM. Therefore, this 

submission is being made to OMB for 

approval of the revised Information 

Collection requirements. 

OMB Control Number: 3060–0938. 

Title: Form 2100, Schedule 319—Low 

Power FM Station License Application. 

Form Number: FCC Form 2100, 

Schedule 319. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Not-for-profit 

institutions, State, local or Tribal 

Government. 

Number of Respondents and 

Responses: 200 respondents and 200 

responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 1 hour. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

reporting requirement. 

Total Annual Burden: 200 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: $27,500. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. The statutory 

authority for this collection of 

information is contained in Sections 

154(i), 303 and 308 of the 

Communications Act of 1934, as 

amended. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission 

adopted the FM Broadcast Directional 

Antenna Performance Verification 

Order, FCC 22–38, adopted May 19, 

2022, and released on May 19, 2022, 

where the Commission revised its 

broadcast radio rules and procedures to 

allow for LPFM antenna directional 

pattern verification by computer 

modeling. This represents an update 

from the previous requirement that an 

FM or LPFM directional antenna’s 

performance be verified by the 

‘‘measured relative field pattern’’ and 

brings our rules for those services into 

regulatory conformity with our rules 

governing AM and DTV directional 

antennas. The Commission expects that 

this change in how the antenna 

manufacturer may validate its LPFM 

directional antenna studies would 

provide an LPFM license applicant with 

greater flexibility in antenna siting and 

reduce the overall costs of designing 

and building an LPFM directional 

antenna, and station construction. 

Specifically, pertaining to this 

Information Collection and LPFM 

stations, the Commission is revising the 

relevant rules, 47 CFR 73.316 and 47 

CFR 73.1690, and corresponding 

instructions, as follows: 

Gives an LPFM license applicant that 

employs a directional antenna the 

option of submitting computergenerated proofs of the LPFM 

directional antenna pattern prepared by 

the antenna’s manufacturer, in lieu of 

measured pattern plots and tabulations 

derived from physical full-size or scale 

model antenna mockups. 

In Section 73.316, specifies the 

information required in a license 

application filed for a station using an 

LPFM directional antenna, which opts 

to use computer modeling pattern 

verification. For example, the license 

application must include a statement 

from the engineer responsible for 

designing the antenna, performing the 

modeling, and preparing the antenna 

manufacturer’s instructions for

identifies and describes the software 

used to create the computer model, the 

software tool(s) used in the modeling 

and the procedures applied in using the 

software. The statement should describe

model. It must also include a 

certification that the software executed 

normally without generating error 

messages or warnings. 

Requires that, the first time the 

directional pattern of a particular model 

of antenna is verified using computer 

results, the broadcast station must

results of the computer modelling and 

the measurements of either a full-size or

thereof, demonstrating a reasonable

results. Once a particular antenna model 

or series of elements has been verified, 

subsequent applicants using the same 

antenna model number or elements and 

the same modeling software may crossreference the original submission by 

providing the application file number. 

The revisions to the relevant rules and 

corresponding Form 2100, Schedule 319 

(LPFM License Application) 

instructions listed above may 

potentially affect the substance, hours, 

and costs of completing the Schedule 

319 (LPFM License Application). 

Therefore, this submission is being 

made to OMB for approval of the 

revised Information Collection 

requirements.
