77916 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 248 / Monday, December 29, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 

Needs and Uses: FCC Form 601 is a 

consolidated, multi-part application 

form that is used for market-based and 

site-based licensing for wireless 

telecommunications services, including 

public safety licenses, which are filed 

through the Commission’s Universal 

Licensing System (ULS). FCC Form 601 

is composed of a main form that 

contains administrative information and 

a series of schedules used for filing 

technical and other information. This 

form is used to apply for a new license, 

to amend or withdraw a pending 

application, to modify or renew an 

existing license, cancel a license, 

request a duplicate license, submit 

required notifications, request an 

extension of time to satisfy construction 

requirements, or request an 

administrative update to an existing 

license (such as mailing address 

change), request a Special Temporary 

Authority or Developmental License. 

Respondents are encouraged to submit 

FCC Form 601 electronically and are 

required to do so when submitting FCC 

Form 601 to apply for an authorization 

for which the applicant was the winning 

bidder in a spectrum auction. 

The data collected on FCC Form 601 

includes the FCC Registration Number 

(FRN), which serves as a ‘‘common 

link’’ for all filings an entity has with 

the FCC. The Debt Collection 

Improvement Act of 1996 requires 

entities filing with the Commission use 

an FRN. 

On June 2, 2014, the Commission 

released a Second Report and Order 

FCC 14–62, WT Docket Nos. 08–166 and 

08–167 and ET Docket No. 10–24, 

‘‘Revisions to Rules Authorizing the 

Operation of Low Power Auxiliary 

Stations in the 698–806 MHz Band.’’ 

This order expanded eligibility for low 

power auxiliary station licenses under 

Part 74 by adding two new categories of 

eligible entities: ‘‘Large venue owner or 

operator’’ and ‘‘professional sound 

company.’’ To accommodate these 

changes we are revising Schedule H of 

Form 601 to add two new categories of 

eligible entities: ‘‘Large venue owner or 

operator’’ and ‘‘professional sound 

company.’’ In order to be eligible for a 

Part 74 license, a large venue owner or 

operator and a professional sound 

company must routinely use 50 or more 

low power auxiliary station devices, 

where the use of such devices is an 

integral part of major events or 

productions. We also increased the 

number of respondents by 200 

responses to include these new 

applicants. 

The Commission received approval 

from OMB for a revision to its currently 

approved information collection on FCC 

Form 601 to revise Schedule H 

accordingly and increase the total 

number of respondents by 200.

Synopsis 

As required by the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3507), 

the FCC is notifying the public that it 

received OMB approval on December 

18, 2014, for the information collection 

requirements contained in the 

Commission’s rules at 47 CFR 79.1(c)(3), 

(e)(11)(iii), (iv) and (v), (j), and (k). 

Under 5 CFR part 1320, an agency may 

not conduct or sponsor a collection of

Privacy Impact Assessment: Yes. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission 

seeks to extend existing information 

collection requirements in its closed 

captioning rules (47 CFR 79.1), which 

require that, with some exceptions, all 

new video programming, and 75 percent 

of ‘‘pre-rule’’ programming, be closed 

captioned. The existing collections 

include petitions by video programming 

providers, producers, and owners for 

exemptions from the closed captioning 

rules, responses by commenters, and 

replies; complaints by viewers alleging 

violations of the closed captioning rules, 

responses by video programming 

distributors, and recordkeeping in 

support of complaint responses; and 

making video programming distributor 

contact information available to viewers 

in phone directories, on the 

Commission’s Web site and the Web 

sites of video programming distributors 

(if they have them), and in billing 

statements (to the extent video 

programming distributors issue them). 

In addition, the Commission seeks to 

extend proposed information collection 

requirements. Specifically, on February 

20, 2014, the Commission adopted rules 

governing the quality of closed 

captioning on television. Closed 

Captioning of Video Programming; 

Telecommunications for the Deaf and 

Hard of Hearing, Inc. Petition for 

Rulemaking, CG Docket No. 05–231,

and Further Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking, 29 FCC Rcd 2221 (2014), 

published at 79 FR 17911 (March 31, 

2014). The Commission took the 

following actions, among others: 

(a) Required video programming 

distributors to make best efforts to 

obtain certification from video 

programmers that their programming (i) 

complies with the captioning quality 

standards established in the Report and 

Order; (ii) adheres to the Best Practices 

for video programmers set out in the 

Report and Order; or (iii) is exempt from 

the closed captioning rules under one or 

more properly attained and specified 

exemptions. 

(b) Adopted additional requirements 

and a ‘‘compliance ladder’’ for 

broadcasters that use electronic 

newsroom technique. 

(c) Required video programming 

distributors to keep records of their 

activities related to the maintenance, 

monitoring, and technical checks of 

their captioning equipment. 

(d) Required that petitions requesting 

an exemption based on the 

economically burdensome standard and 

all subsequent pleadings, as well as 

comments, oppositions, or replies to 

comments, be filed electronically in 

accordance with 47 CFR 0.401(a)(1)(iii) 

instead of as a paper filing. 

Comments, oppositions, or replies to 

comments must be served on the other 

party, by delivering or mailing a copy to 

the last known address in accordance 

with 47 CFR 1.47 or by sending a copy 

to the email address last provided by the 

party, its attorney, or other duly 

constituted agent, and must include a 

certification that the other party was 

served with a copy.

Update Mailing Addresses Pertaining 

to Satellite Emergency Radiobeacons 

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: In this document, the Federal 

Communications Commission (FCC) 

revises certain mailing addresses 

pertaining to satellite emergency 

radiobeacons which are used to 

facilitate search and rescue of persons in 

distress. We update the rules to include 

the correct mailing addresses for the 

National Oceanographic and 

Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) 

National Beacon Registration Database, 

the Radio Technical Commission for 

Maritime Services (RTCM), the Radio 

Technical Commission for Aeronautics 

(RTCA), and the United States Coast 

Guard (Coast Guard). This Order 

updates the mailing addresses provided 

in our rules for NOAA, RTCM, RTCA 

and the Coast Guard. 

DATES: Effective December 29, 2014. The 

incorporation by reference of certain 

publications listed in the rule was 

previously approved by the Director of 

the Federal Register.

Commission, 445 12th Street SW.,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a 

summary of the Commission’s Order 

(‘‘Order’’) in DA 14–1286 adopted on 

September 5, 2014, and released on 

September 5, 2014. The full text of this 

document is available for inspection 

and copying during normal business 

hours in the FCC Reference Center, 445 

12th Street SW., Washington, DC 20554. 

The complete text may be purchased 

from the Commission’s copy contractor, 

Best Copy and Printing, Inc., 445 12th

by calling the Consumer & 

Governmental Affairs Bureau at 202– 

418–0530 (voice), 202–418–0432 (tty). 

In this Order, the FCC revised 47 CFR 

80.7, 80.1061, 87.199 and 95.1402 to 

update NOAA’s address for its National 

Beacon Registration Database used by 

beacon owners to register emergency 

information used during emergencies. 

We also update RTCM and RTCA 

addresses used for obtaining technical 

standards for beacons that part 80 and 

87 incorporate by reference. Finally, we 

update the rules to reflect Coast Guard’s 

new mailing and Internet addresses 

used for submitting findings by a test 

facility accepted by the Coast Guard for 

assuring beacons meet the relevant 

RTCM technical standard. Updating 

these mailing addresses will reduce 

confusion and delay in registering 

emergency information with NOAA, 

assure NOAA receives important 

information from beacon users, reduce 

confusion and delay in obtaining copies 

of needed technical standards and 

reduce confusion and delay in filing test 

results with the Coast Guard.
