Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 231 / Monday, December 3, 2007 / Notices 67937 

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

institutions; State, Local or Tribal 

Government. 

Number of Respondents: 400. 

Estimated Time per Response: 0.50 

hours. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

reporting requirement; Recordkeeping 

requirement. 

Total Annual Burden: 200 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: None. 

Nature of Response: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. 

Confidentiality: No need for 

confidentiality required. 

Privacy Impact Assessment: No 

impact(s). 

Needs and Uses: 47 CFR 74.751(c) 

requires licensees of low power TV or 

TV translator stations to send written 

notification to the FCC of equipment 

changes which may be made at 

licensee’s discretion without the use of 

a formal application. Section 74.751(d) 

requires that licensees of low power TV 

or TV translator stations place in the 

station records a certification that the 

installation of new or replacement 

transmitting equipment complies in all 

respects with the technical requirements 

of this section and the station 

authorization. The notifications and 

certifications of equipment changes are 

used by FCC staff to ensure that the 

equipment changes made are in full 

compliance with the technical 

requirements of this section and the 

station authorizations and will not 

cause interference to other authorized 

stations.

Needs and Uses: On August 10, 1998, 

the Commission released a public notice 

that explained how ‘‘nonchecklist’’

applications (i.e., applications that do 

not conform to certain criteria to enable 

fast-track processing) will be processed 

for Digital TV (DTV) station 

construction permits. This public notice 

explained in detail what should be 

included in engineering showings and 

other types of application exhibits and 

cover letters (including de minimis 

interference showings). 

This collection includes the 

following: 

(a) Technical or interference studies 

should identify the facilities on which 

the computer analyses were done 

(computer and software used) and 

whether sufficient comparisons have 

been made to confirm that these 

facilities produce the same results as the 

Commission’s implementation of the 

Commission technical methodology, as 

explained in Office of Engineering 

Technology (OET) Bulletin No. 69 and 

as set forth in the Commission’s digital 

television proceeding. The technical 

exhibit should indicate which DTV or 

National Television System Committee 

(NTSC) stations are affected by 

interference from the proposed DTV 

facility and the changes in the 

population they serve. Applications 

containing a finer resolution study than 

that described in OET Bulletin No. 69 

must clearly identify that fact and 

should request Commission review on 

that basis. 

If the study is not based on FCCmatched computer analysis, the 

technical exhibit should include a 

description of the methods and models 

employed, how it differs from FCC 

analysis, which DTV and NTSC stations 

are considered and are affected, and the 

magnitude of the change in the 

population they are predicted to service. 

Alternatively, a non-conforming 

application may include a 

demonstration that its service area is not 

extended beyond the area it was 

assigned in the Order and that there are 

no adjacent-channel or ‘‘taboo’’-channel 

related DTV or NTSC stations that 

would be predicted to receive 

interference from the facilities requested 

in the application. 

(b) De minimis calculations—The de 

minimis calculations are complex, with 

many decisions on assumptions or 

procedures that can alter the accuracy of 

the determination and the difficulty of 

performing it. The public notice 

explains how de minimis calculations 

are to be prepared and what information 

must be included in any engineering 

showings. 

(c) Antenna beam tilting—The 

Memorandum Opinion and Order 

allowed Ultra High Frequency (UHF) 

applicants to increase their power 

within their existing DTV service areas 

using antenna beam-tilting. Applicants 

using antenna beam tilting must include 

a complete description of the proposed 

antenna system, including a 

determination of the depression angle to 

the radio horizon and the antenna gain 

and resulting ERP at that depression 

angle. An additional showing is 

required if an adjacent-channel DTV or 

NTSC station is close enough that 

unacceptable interference may be 

caused. Stations that are to be 

considered are those within the outer 

distances of the minimum separation 

requirements for new DTV allotments. If 

there are any stations or DTV allotments 

within these distances, the application 

must include a technical showing that 

interference does not exceed the de 

minimis standard. 

(d) DTV allotment exchanges—

Through the application process, 

broadcasters are permitted to negotiate 

exchanges of DTV allotments in the 

same community, same TV market or in 

adjacent markets, thereby affording 

them increased flexibility to operate 

facilities best meeting their needs and 

without subjecting them to time 

consuming allocation rule making 

proceedings. Applications to implement 

DTV allotment exchanges should be 

submitted as a package and should 

include the following attachments: (1) A 

cover letter noting the allotment 

exchanges and the parties involved, (2) 

the exchange agreement signed by all 

parties to the agreement, (3) required 

interference studies or agreements with 

all other affected parties and (4) a 

showing as to why a grant of the 

exchange would serve the public 

interest.

System (Board) under OMB delegated 

authority, as per 5 CFR 1320.16 (OMB 

Regulations on Controlling Paperwork 

Burdens on the Public). Board-approved

competitors for Federal Reserve 

employees 

Annual reporting hours: FR 29a, 210 

hours; FR 29b, 50 hours
