SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has received 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval for the following public 
information collections pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 
(44 U.S.C. 3501-3520). An agency may not conduct or sponsor a 
collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB 
control number, and no person is required to respond to a collection of 
information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. 
Comments concerning the accuracy of the burden estimates and any 
suggestions for reducing the burden should be directed to the person 
listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section below.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control No.: 3060-0405.
    OMB Approval Date: 4/19/2010.
    Expiration Date: 4/30/2013.
    Title: Application for Authority to Construct or Make Changes in an 
FM Translator or FM Booster Station, FCC Form 349.
    Form No.: FCC Form 349.
    Type of Review: Reinstatement without change of a previously 
approved collection.
    Number of Respondents/Responses: 1,200 respondents; 2,400 
responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 1 to 1.5 hours.
    Total Annual Burden: 4,500 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $4,598,100.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain benefits. Statutory 
authority for this collection of information is contained in Sections 
154(i), 303, and 308 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: No need for confidentiality 
required with this information collection.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission requested and received from the 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) the reinstatement of OMB control 
number 3060-0405.
    In 2008, we merged the requirements that were previously under this 
OMB control number into an existing information collection, OMB control 
number 3060-0029, Application for TV Broadcast Station License, FCC 
Form

302-TV. Although the requirements were merged under the supporting 
statement, the forms themselves remained separate and only shared the 
same OMB control number. Since that time, we find that the merging of 
these requirements under one OMB control number is ineffective, causing 
delays in submissions to OMB for review, especially when the various 
requirements were revised by multiple and simultaneously adopted 
Commission actions.
    FCC Form 349 is used to apply for authority to construct a new FM 
translator or FM booster broadcast station, or to make changes in the 
existing facilities of such stations.
    Form 349's Newspaper Notice (third party disclosure) requirement; 
47 CFR 73.3580: Form 349 also contains a third party disclosure 
requirement, pursuant to 47 CFR 73.3580. This rule requires stations 
applying for a new broadcast station, or to make major changes to an 
existing station, to give local public notice of this filing in a 
newspaper of general circulation in the community in which the station 
is located. This local public notice must be completed within 30 days 
of the tendering of the application. This notice must be published at 
least twice a week for two consecutive weeks in a three-week period. In 
addition, a copy of this notice must be placed in the station's public 
inspection file along with the application, pursuant to 47 CFR 73.3527. 
This recordkeeping information collection requirement is contained in 
OMB Control No. 3060-0214, which covers 47 CFR 73.3527.

    OMB Control No.: 3060-0837.
    OMB Approval Date: 4/19/2010.
    Expiration Date: 4/30/2013.
    Title: Application for DTV Broadcast Station License, FCC Form 302-
DTV.
    Form No.: FCC Form 302-DTV.
    Type of Review: Reinstatement without change of a previously 
approved collection.
    Number of Respondents/Responses: 300 respondents; 300 responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 2 hours.
    Total Annual Burden: 600 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $133,800.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. 
Statutory authority for this collection of information is contained in 
Sections 154(i), 303, and 308 of the Communications Act of 1934, as 
amended.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: No need for confidentiality 
required with this information collection.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission requested and received from the 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) the reinstatement of OMB control 
number 3060-0837. In 2008, we merged the requirements that were 
previously under this OMB control number into an existing information 
collection, OMB control number 3060-0029, Application for TV Broadcast 
Station License, FCC Form 302-TV. Although the requirements were merged 
under the supporting statement, the forms themselves remained separate 
and only shared the same OMB control number. Since that time, we find 
the merging of these requirements under one OMB control number as 
ineffective causing delays for submission to OMB for review especially 
when the various requirements were revised by multiple Commission 
actions.
    Form 302-DTV is used by licensees and permittees of Digital TV 
(``DTV'') broadcast stations to obtain a new or modified station 
license and/or to notify the Commission of certain changes in the 
licensed facilities of those stations. It may be used: (1) To cover an 
authorized construction permit (or auxiliary antenna), provided that 
the facilities have been constructed in compliance with the provisions 
and conditions specified on the construction permit; or (2) to 
implement modifications to existing licenses as permitted by Section 
73.1675(c) or 73.1690(c) of the Commission's rules.

Federal Communications Commission.
