Title: Carriage of Digital Television 

Broadcast Signals: Amendment to Part 

76 of the Commission’s Rules. 

Form Number: None. 

Type of Review: New collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities. 

Number of Respondents and 

Responses: 11 respondents; 11 

responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 0.25 

hours (15 minutes).

disclosure requirement and 

recordkeeping requirement. 

Total Annual Burden: 3 hours. 

Total Annual Costs: No cost.

order to monitor regulatory compliance. 

The statutory authority for this 

collection of information is contained in 

Sections 4, 303, 614 and 615 of the 

Communications Act of 1934, as 

amended. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

There is no need for confidentiality with 

this collection of information. 

Privacy Impact Assessment(s): No 

impact(s). 

Needs and Uses: The information 

collection imposes a notification 

requirement on certain small cable 

systems that become ineligible for 

exemption from the requirement to 

carry high definition broadcast signals 

in HD (adopted in FCC 15–65). In 

particular, the information collection 

requires that, beginning December 12, 

2016, at the time a small cable system 

utilizing the HD carriage exemption 

offers any programming in HD, the 

system must give notice that it is 

offering HD programming to all 

broadcast stations in its market that are 

carried on its system. Cable operators 

must also keep records of such 

notification. This information collection 

requirement allows affected broadcast 

stations to monitor compliance with the 

requirement that cable operators 

transmit high definition broadcast 

signals in HD.

Information Collections Being 

Submitted for Review and Approval to 

the Office of Management and Budget 

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 (44 U.S.C. 3501– 

3520), the Federal Communications 

Commission (FCC or Commission) 

invites the general public and other 

Federal agencies to take this 

opportunity to comment on the 

following information collections.

Whether the proposed 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 FCC may not conduct or sponsor a 

collection of information unless it 

displays a currently valid Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) control 

number. No person shall be subject to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 3060–0010. 

Title: Ownership Report for 

Commercial Broadcast Stations, FCC 

Form 323. 

Form Number: FCC Form 323. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other for 

profit entities; not-for-profit institutions; 

State, Local or Tribal Governments. 

Number of Respondents/Responses: 

9,250 respondents; 9,250 responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 2.5 

hours to 4.5 hours. 

Frequency of Response: 

Recordkeeping requirement; on 

occasion reporting requirement; 

biennially reporting requirement. 

Total Annual Burden: 38,125 hours. 

Total Annual Costs: $26,940,000. 

Nature of Response: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. Statutory 

authority for this collection of 

information is contained in Sections 

154(i), 303, 310 and 533 of the 

Communications Act of 1934, as 

amended. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

Form 323 collects two types of 

information from respondents: Personal 

information in the form of names, 

addresses, job titles and demographic 

information; and FCC Registration 

Numbers (FRNs). 

The system of records notice (SORN), 

FCC/MB–1, ‘‘Ownership Report for 

Commercial Broadcast Stations,’’ which 

was approved on December 21, 2009 (74 

FR 59978) covers the collection, 

purposes(s), storage, safeguards, and 

disposal of the PII that individual 

respondents may submit on FCC Form 

323. FCC Form 323 is drafting a privacy

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 27 / Wednesday, February 10, 2016 / Notices 7099 

statement to inform applicants 

(respondents) of the Commission’s need 

to obtain the information and the 

protections that the FCC has in place to 

protect the PII. 

FRNs are assigned to applicants who 

complete FCC Form 160 (OMB Control 

No. 3060–0917). Form 160 requires 

applicants for FRNs to provide their 

Taxpayer Information Number (TIN) 

and/or Social Security Number (SSN). 

The FCC’s electronic CORES 

Registration System then provides each 

registrant with a FCC Registration 

Number (FRN), which identifies the 

registrant in his/her subsequent dealings 

with the FCC. This is done to protect the 

individual’s privacy. The Commission 

maintains a SORN, FCC/OMD–9, 

‘‘Commission Registration System 

(CORES)’’ to cover the collection, 

purpose(s), storage, safeguards, and 

disposal of the PII that individual 

respondents may submit on FCC Form 

160. FCC Form 160 includes a privacy 

statement to inform applicants 

(respondents) of the Commission’s need 

to obtain the information and the 

protections that the FCC has in place to 

protect the PII. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: The 

Commission is drafting a Privacy Impact 

Assessment for the PII that is covered by 

FCC/MB–1 SORN. Upon completion of 

the PIA, it will be posted on the FCC 

Web page, as required by the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) 

Memorandum, M–03–22 (September 22, 

2003). 

Needs and Uses: Licensees of 

commercial AM, FM, and full power 

television broadcast stations, as well as 

licensees of Class A and Low Power 

Television stations must file FCC Form 

323 every two years. Ownership Reports 

shall provide information accurate as of 

October 1 of the year in which the 

Report is filed. Thereafter, the Form 

shall be filed biennially beginning 

November 1, 2011, and every two years 

thereafter. 

Also, Licensees and Permittees of 

commercial AM, FM, or full power 

television stations must file Form 323 

following the consummation of a 

transfer of control or an assignment of 

a commercial AM, FM, or full power 

television station license or construction 

permit; a Permittee of a new commercial 

AM, FM or full power television 

broadcast station must file Form 323 

within 30 days after the grant of the 

construction permit; and a Permittee of 

a new commercial AM, FM, or full 

power television broadcast station must 

file Form 323 to update the initial report 

or to certify the continuing accuracy and 

completeness of the previously filed 

report on the date that the Permittee 

applies for a license to cover the 

construction permit. 

In the case of organizational 

structures that include holding 

companies or other forms of indirect 

ownership, a separate FCC Form 323 

must be filed for each entity in the 

organizational structure that has an 

attributable interest in the Licensee if 

the filing is a nonbiennial filing or a 

reportable interest in the Licensee if the 

filing is a biennial filing. 

We are requesting the three year 

extension of this information collection. 

OMB Control No.: 3060–1042. 

Title: Request for Technical Support— 

Help Request Form. 

Form No.: N/A—Electronic only. 

Type of Review: Extension of 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Individuals or 

household; business or other for-profit; 

not-for-profit institutions; and state, 

local or tribal government. 

Number of Respondents and 

Responses: 36,300 respondents and 

36,300 responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 8 

minutes (0.14 hours). 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

reporting requirement and 

recordkeeping requirement. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. 

Total Annual Burden: 5,082 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: $609,840. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: 

Possible Impacts. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

In general there is no need for 

confidentiality. On a case by case basis, 

the Commission may be required to 

withhold from disclosure certain 

information about the location, 

character, or ownership of a historic 

property, including traditional religious 

sites. Needs and Uses: The Commission 

will submit this collection as an 

extension (no change in frequency of 

recordkeeping or reporting 

requirements) to the OMB after this 60 

day comment period to obtain the full 

three-year clearance from them. 

The FCC’s maintains Internet software 

used by the public to apply for licenses, 

participate in auctions for spectrum, 

and maintain license information. In 

this mission, FCC has a ‘help desk’ that 

answers questions related to these 

systems as well as resetting and/or 

issuing user passwords for access to 

these systems. The form currently is 

available on the Web site https://

esupport.fcc.gov/request.htm under 

OMB Control Number 3060–1042. This 

form will continue to substantially 

decrease public and staff burden since 

all the information needed to facilitate 

a support request will be submitted in 

a standard format but be available to a 

wider audience. This eliminates or at 

least minimizes the need to follow-up 

with the customers to obtain all the 

information necessary to respond to 

their request. This form also helps 

presort requests into previously defined 

categories to all staff to respond more 

quickly.
