Federal agencies to take this 

opportunity to comment on this 

proposed collection of information, in 

accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), Public 

Law 104–13. An agency may not 

conduct or sponsor a collection of 

information unless it displays a 

currently valid control number. Subject 

to the PRA, no person shall be subject 

to any penalty for failing to comply with 

a collection of information that does not 

display a valid control number.

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

Commission, including whether the 

information shall have practical utility; 

(b) the accuracy of the Commission’s 

burden estimate; (c) ways to enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information collected; and (d) 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. 

DATES: Written PRA comments should 

be submitted on or before April 4, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 3060–0027. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Title: Application for Construction 

Permit for Commercial Broadcast 

Station. 

Form Number: FCC Form 301. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities; not-for-profit institutions. 

Number of Respondents: 4,278. 

Estimated Time per Response: 2 to 4 

hours.

reporting requirement; one time 

reporting requirement; third party 

disclosure requirement. 

Total Annual Burden: 10,513 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: $51,350,347. 

Needs and Uses: Congress has 

mandated that after February 17, 2009, 

full-power television broadcast stations 

must transmit only in digital signals, 

and may no longer transmit analog 

signals. On December 22, 2007, the 

Commission adopted a Report and 

Order in the matter of the Third Periodic 

Review of the Commission’s Rules and 

Policies Affecting the Conversion to 

Digital Television, MB Docket No. 07–

91, FCC 07–228, to establish the rules, 

policies and procedures necessary to 

complete the nation’s transition to DTV. 

With the DTV transition deadline less 

than 14 months away, the Commission 

must ensure that broadcasters meet their 

statutory responsibilities and complete 

construction of, and begin operations 

on, the facility on their final, posttransition (digital) channel that will 

reach viewers in their authorized 

service areas by the statutory transition 

deadline, when they must cease 

broadcasting in analog. The Commission 

wants to ensure that no consumers are 

left behind in the DTV transition. 

Specifically, the Report and Order 

requires full-power commercial 

television stations to use revised FCC 

Form 301 to obtain the necessary 

Commission approvals (i.e., 

construction permits and licenses) in 

time to build their post-transition 

facility. 

• Applications for post-transition 

facilities. Full-power commercial 

television stations without a 

construction permit for their final, posttransition (DTV) facility must file an 

application to construct or modify that 

facility using FCC Forms 301. 

• Requests to transition early to posttransition channel. Full-power 

commercial television stations may 

request authority to transition early to 

their post-transition channel using FCC 

Form 301. 

• Revisions to FCC Form 301. FCC 

Form 301 was revised to accommodate 

the filing of post-transition applications. 

The FCC received approval under the 

‘‘emergency processing provisions’’ of 

the PRA on January 7, 2008. The 

requirements for this collection have not 

changed since we received approval.

stations may request authority to 

transition early to their post-transition 

channel using FCC Form 340. 

• Revisions to FCC Form 340. FCC 

Form 340 was revised to accommodate 

the filing of post-transition applications. 

In addition, the Report and Order 

requires that stations that have applied 

to construct or modify post-transition 

facilities must use the Form 302–DTV to 

obtain a new or modified station license 

to cover those post-transition facilities. 

The FCC received approval under the

requires that a commercial television 

station notify a satellite carrier in 

writing whether it elects to be carried 

pursuant to retransmission consent or 

mandatory consent in accordance with 

the established election cycle. 

47 CFR 76.66(c)(5) requires that a 

noncommercial television station must 

request carriage by notifying a satellite 

carrier in writing in accordance with the 

established election cycle. 

47 CFR 76.66(c)(6) requires a 

commercial television broadcast station 

located in a local market in a 

noncontiguous state to make its 

retransmission consent-mandatory 

carriage election by October 1, 2005, for 

carriage of its signals that originate as 

analog signals for carriage commencing 

on December 8, 2005 and ending on 

December 31, 2008, and by April 1, 

2007 for its signals that originate as 

digital signals for carriage commencing 

on June 8, 2007 and ending on 

December 31, 2008. For analog and 

digital signal carriage cycles 

commencing after December 31, 2008, 

such stations shall follow the election 

cycle in 47 CFR 76.66(c)(2) and 47 CFR 

76.66(c)(4). A noncommercial television 

broadcast station located in a local 

market in Alaska or Hawaii must 

request carriage by October 1, 2005, for 

carriage of its signals that originate as an 

analog signal for carriage commencing 

on December 8, 2005 and ending on 

December 31, 2008, and by April 1, 

2007 for its signals that originate as 

digital signals for carriage commencing 

on June 8, 2007 and ending on 

December 31, 2008. Moreover, section 

76.66(c) requires a commercial 

television station located in a local 

market in a noncontiguous state to 

provide notification to a satellite carrier 

whether it elects to be carried pursuant 

to retransmission consent or mandatory 

consent. 

47 CFR 76.66(d) states a television 

station’s written notification must 

include its call sign, the name of a 

station contact, the station’s community 

of license, the station’s designated 

market area (DMA) assignment, and, for 

commercial stations, its election of 

mandatory carriage or retransmission 

consent. Within 30 days of receiving a 

request for carriage, a satellite carrier 

must notify in writing any station 

whether it will carry the station 

requested. If the satellite carrier will not 

carry the station, it must include its 

reasons for denying carriage. 

47 CFR 76.66(d)(2) requires satellite 

carriers to issue notices to station 

licensees when the carrier is going to 

initiate new local service. These 

notifications are required to be sent by 

certified mail to the television station 

licensees. 

47 CFR 76.66(d)(2)(iii) requires a 

satellite carrier with more than five 

million subscribers to provide a notice 

as required by 47 CFR 76.66(d)(2)(i) and 

47 CFR 76.66(d)(2)(ii) to each television 

broadcast station located in a local 

market in a noncontiguous state, not 

later than September 1, 2005 with 

respect to analog signals and a notice 

not later than April 1, 2007 with respect 

to digital signals; provided, however, 

that the notice shall also describe the 

carriage requirements pursuant to 

section 338(a)(4) of title 47, United 

States Code, and 47 CFR 76.66(b)(2). 

47 CFR 76.66(d)(5) applies to satellite 

carriers that carry or intend to carry 

significantly viewed signals and provide 

television stations with different 

carriage election options in counties and 

markets in which the satellite carrier is 

offering significantly viewed signals. 

Therefore, if satellite carriers elect to 

carry significantly viewed signals, they 

are required to provide notifications to 

local broadcast stations informing them 

of their rights to elect mandatory 

carriage or retransmit consent on a 

county basis. 

47 CFR 76.66(m) states whenever a 

local broadcast station believes that a 

satellite carrier has failed to meet its 

obligations under this section, such 

station shall notify the carrier, in 

writing, of the alleged failure and 

identify its reason for believing that the 


ebenthall on PRODPC61 with NOTICES
6506 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 23 / Monday, February 4, 2008 / Notices 

satellite carrier failed to comply with its 

obligations. 

The satellite carrier shall, within 30 

days of such written notification, 

respond in writing to such notification 

and comply with such obligations or 

state its reasons for believing that it is 

in compliance. A local station that 

disputes a satellite carrier’s response 

may obtain review of such response by 

filing a compliant with the Commission 

in accordance with 47 CFR 76.7 of the 

rules.
