Information Collections Being 

Reviewed by the Federal 

Communications Commission 

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. 

Comments are requested concerning: 

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 OMB control 

number. No person shall be subject to 

any penalty for failing to comply with 

a collection of information subject to the 

PRA that does not display a valid OMB 

control number. 

DATES: Written PRA comments should 

be submitted on or before December 22, 

2014. If you anticipate that you will be 

submitting comments, but find it 

difficult to do so within the period of 

time allowed by this notice, you should 

advise the contact listed below as soon 

as possible.

cable operators in connection with the 

assignment and transfer of control of 

cable television systems. On July 23, 

1993, the Commission released a Report 

and Order and Further Notice of 

Proposed Rulemaking in MM Docket 

No. 92–264, FCC 93–332, 

Implementation of Sections 11 and 13 of 

the Cable Television Consumer 

Protection and Competition Act of 1992, 

Horizontal and Vertical Ownership 

Limits, Cross-Ownership Limitations 

and Anti-Trafficking Provisions. Among 

other things, this Report and Order 

established procedures for use of the 

FCC Form 394. 

OMB Control Number: 3060–0938. 

Title: Application for a Low Power 

FM Broadcast Station License, FCC 

Form 319. 

Form Number: FCC Form 319. 

Type of Review: Extension 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.

Communications Act of 1934, as 

amended. 

Privacy Impact Assessment(s): No 

impacts. 

Needs and Uses: On January 20, 2000, 

the Commission adopted a Report and 

Order (R&O) in MM Docket No. 99–25, 

In the Matter of Creation of Low Power 

Radio Service. With the adoption of this 

R&O, the Commission authorized the 

licensing of two new classes of FM radio 

stations, generally referred to as low 

power FM stations (LPFM): A LP100 

class for stations operating at 50–100 

watts effective radiated power (ERP) at 

an antenna height above average terrain 

(HAAT) of 30 meters; and a LP10 class 

for stations operating at 1–10 watts ERP 

and an antenna height of 30 meters 

HAAT. These stations will be operated 

on a noncommercial educational basis 

by entities that do not hold attributable 

interests in any other broadcast station 

or other media subject to the 

Commission’s ownership rules. The 

LPFM service authorized in this Report 

and Order provides significant 

opportunities for new radio services. 

The LPFM service creates a class of 

radio stations designed to serve very 

localized communities or 

underrepresented groups within 

communities. 

In connection with this new service, 

the Commission developed a new FCC 

Form 319, Application for a Low Power 

FM Broadcast Station License. FCC 

Form 319 is required to apply for a 

license for a new or modified Low 

Power FM (LPFM) station. 

OMB Control Number: 3060–1045. 

Title: Section 76.1610, Change of 

Operational Information; FCC Form 324,

Form Number: FCC Form 324. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

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

Number of Respondents and 

Responses: 5,000 respondents; 5,000 

responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 0.5 

hours. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

reporting requirement. 

Total Annual Burden: 2,500 hours. 

Total Annual Costs: None. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. The statutory 

authority for this collection of 

information is contained in 154(i), 303, 

308, 309 and 621 of the 

Communications Act of 1934, as 

amended. 

Privacy Impact Assessment(s): No 

impact(s). 

Needs and Uses: Under 47 CFR 

76.1610, cable operators must notify the 

Commission of changes in ownership 

information or operating status within 

30 days of such change. FCC Form 324 

is used to update information filed with 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 205 / Thursday, October 23, 2014 / Notices 63395 

the Commission concerning the Cable 

Community Registration. The 

information is the basic operational 

information on operator name, mailing 

address, community served, and system 

identification. FCC Form 324 will cover 

a variety of changes related to cable 

operators, replacing the requirement of 

a letter containing approximately the 

same information. Every Form 324 filing 

will require information about the 

system—the additional information 

required depending largely upon the 

nature of the change.

in order to obtain the full three year 

clearance. 

On November 14, 2008, the Federal 

Communications Commission 

(‘‘Commission’’) adopted a Second 

Report and Order and Memorandum 

Opinion and Order, FCC 08–260, ET 

Docket No. 04–186 that established 

rules to allow new and unlicensed 

wireless devices to operate in the 

broadcast television spectrum at 

locations where that spectrum is not 

being used by licensed services (this 

unused TV spectrum is often termed 

television ‘‘white spaces’’). The rules 

will allow for the use of unlicensed TV 

band devices in the unused spectrum to 

provide broadband data and other 

services for consumers and businesses. 

Subsequently on September 23, 2010, 

the Commission adopted a Second 

Memorandum Opinion and Order 

finalizing the rules to make the unused 

spectrum in the TV bands available for 

unlicensed broadband wireless devices. 

This action resolved on reconsideration 

certain legal and technical issues in 

order to provide certainty concerning 

the rules for operation of unlicensed 

transmitting devices in the television 

broadcast frequency bands (unlicensed 

TV bands devices or ‘‘TVBDs’’). 

Resolution of these issues will now 

allow manufacturers to begin marketing 

unlicensed communications devices 

and systems that operate on frequencies 

in the TV bands in areas where they are 

not used by licensed services (‘‘TV 

white spaces’’). 

In the Second Report and Order the 

Commission decided to designate one or 

more database administrator from the 

private sector to create and operate TV 

band databases which will be a 

privately owned and operated service. 

The database administrators will be 

responsible for coordination of the 

overall functioning of a database and 

provide services to TVBDs. 

The TV bands database will serve the 

following functions: 

Determine and provide to a TVBD, 

upon request, the available TV channels 

at the TVBD’s location. Available 

channels are determined based on the 

interference protection requirements in 

§ 15.712. A database must provide fixed 

and Mode II personal portable TVBDs 

with channel availability information 

that includes scheduled changes in 

channel availability over the course of 

the 48 hour period beginning at the time 

the TVBDs make a re-check contact. In 

making lists of available channels 

available to a TVBD, the TV bands 

database shall ensure that all 

communications and interactions 

between the TV bands database and the 

TVBD include adequate security 

measures such that unauthorized parties 

cannot access or alter the TV bands 

database or the list of available channels 

sent to TVBDs or otherwise affect the 

database system or TVBDs in 

performing their intended functions or 

in providing adequate interference 

protections to authorized services 

operating in the TV bands. In addition, 

a TV bands database must also verify 

that the FCC identifier (FCC ID) of a
