2102 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 10 / Thursday, January 15, 2015 / Notices 

Needs and Uses: The Commission 

will submit this information collection 

to the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) during this comment period to 

obtain the full three-year-clearance from 

them. However, we are reporting an 

adjustment in the reporting/

recordkeeping burdens to reflect a 

decrease in the number of equipments 

authorized for this type of equipment, 

which reduces the burden hours and 

annual costs. 

Section 15.201(d) of the Commission 

rules permit the operation of field 

disturbance sensors in the low VHF 

region of the spectrum. In order to 

monitor non-licensed field disturbance 

sensors operating in the low VHF 

television bands, a unique procedure for 

on-site equipment testing of the systems 

is required to ensure suitable safeguards 

for the operation of these devices. Data 

are retained by the holder of the 

equipment authorized/issued by the 

Commission and made available only at 

the request of the Commission. 

Federal Communications Commission.

Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501– 

3520), the Federal Communication 

Commission (FCC or Commission) 

invites the general public and other 

Federal agencies to take this

requirement at the end of the10-year 

license term. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. Statutory 

authority for these information 

collections are contained in 47 U.S.C.

Total Annual Cost: $17,400. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

There may be a need for confidentiality. 

Applicants may request confidentiality 

and request confidential treatment in 

connection with their substantial 

service showings pursuant to 47 CFR 

0.459 of the Commission’s rules. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission is 

submitting this expiring information 

collection to the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) as an extension to 

obtain the full three year clearance from 

them. 

The information collection 

requirements that are contained in 

Section 101.17 of the Commission’s 

rules require that all 38.6–40.0 GHz 

band licensees demonstrate substantial 

service at the time of license renewal (at 

the end of the ten year license term). A 

licensee’s substantial service showing 

should include, but not be limited to, 

the following information for each 

channel for which they hold a license, 

in each Economic Area (EA) or a portion 

of the EA covered by their license, in 

order to qualify for renewal of that 

license. The information is used by the 

Commission staff to satisfy requirements 

for licensees to demonstrate substantial 

service at the time of license renewal. 

Also, the information is used by the 

Commission to determine whether the 

licensee is providing service which rises 

to the level of ‘‘substantial’’ requiring 

the following information: 

(1) A description of the 38.6–40.0 GHz 

band licensee’s current service in terms 

of geographic coverage; 

(2) A description of the 38.6–40.0 GHz 

band licensee’s current service in terms 

of population served, as well as any 

additional service provided during the 

license term; and 

(3) A description of the 38.6–40.0 GHz 

band licensee’s investments in its 

system(s) (type of facilities constructed 

and their operational status is required). 

Any licensees adjudged not to be 

providing substantial service will not 

have their license renewed.

Without this information, the 

Commission would not be able to carry 

out its statutory responsibilities. 

OMB Control Number: 3060–0027. 

Title: Application for Construction 

Permit for Commercial Broadcast 

Station, FCC Form 301; FCC Form 2100, 

Application for Media Bureau Audio 

and Video Service Authorization, 

Schedule A. 

Form Number: FCC Form 301. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business and other forprofit entities; Not for profit entities; 

State, local or Tribal governments. 

Number of Respondents and 

Responses: 3,775 respondents and 7,211 

responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 1–6.25 

hours. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

reporting requirement; Third party 

disclosure requirement. 

Total Annual Burden: 17,372 hours. 

Total Annual Costs: $68,901,963. 

Obligation To Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. The 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: 

There is no need for confidentiality with 

this collection of information. 

Privacy Impact Assessment(s): No 

impact(s). 

Needs and Uses: FCC Form 301 is 

used to apply for authority to construct 

a new commercial AM, FM, or TV 

broadcast station and to make changes 

to existing facilities of such a station. It 

may be used to request a change of a 

station’s community of license by AM 

and non-reserved band FM permittees 

and licensees. In addition, FM licensees 

or permittees may request, by filing 

though an application on FCC Form 

301, upgrades on adjacent and cochannels, modifications to adjacent 

channels of the same class, and 

downgrades to adjacent channels. All 

applicants using this one-step process 

must demonstrate that a suitable site 

exists that would comply with allotment 

standards with respect to minimum 

distance separation and principal 

community coverage and that would be 

suitable for tower construction. For 

applicants to seek a community of 

license change through this one-step 

process, the proposed facility must be 

mutually exclusive with the applicant’s 

existing facility, and the new facility 

must comply with the Commission’s 

standards with respect to minimum 

distance separation and principal 

community coverage. Applicants 

availing themselves of this procedure 

must also attach an exhibit 

demonstrating that the proposed 

community of license change comports 

with the fair, efficient, and equitable 

distribution of radio service, pursuant to 

Section 307(b) of the Communications 

Act of 1934, as amended (the ‘‘Act’’). 

FCC Form 301 also accommodates 

commercial FM applicants applying in 

a Threshold Qualifications Window 

(‘‘TQ Window’’) for a Tribal Allotment. 

A commercial FM applicant applying in 

the TQ Window, who was not the 

original proponent of the Tribal 

Allotment at the rulemaking stage, must 

demonstrate that it would have 

qualified in all respects to add the 

particular Tribal Allotment for which it 

is applying. Additionally, a petitioner 

seeking to add a Tribal Allotment to the 

FM Table of Allotments must file Form 

301 when submitting its Petition for 

Rulemaking. The collection also 

accommodates applicants applying in a 

TQ Window for a Tribal Allotment that 

had been added to the FM Table of 

Allotments using the Tribal Priority 

under the new ‘‘threshold 

qualifications’’ procedures adopted in 

the Third R&O, FCC 11–190. 

To receive authorization for 

commencement of Digital Television 

(‘‘DTV’’) operations, commercial 

broadcast licensees must file FCC Form 

2100, Schedule A for a construction 

permit. The application may be filed 

anytime after receiving the initial DTV 

allotment and before mid-point in the 

applicant’s construction period. The 

Commission will consider the 

application as a minor change in 

facilities. Applicants will not have to 

provide full legal or financial 

qualification information. 

This collection also includes the third 

party disclosure requirement of 47 CFR 

73.3580. This rule requires applicants to 

provide local public notice, in a 

newspaper of general circulation 

published in a community in which a 

station is located, of requests for new or 

major changes in facilities and for 

changes of a station’s community of 

license by AM and non-reserved band 

FM permittees and licensees. The notice 

must be completed within 30 days of 

tendering the application and must be 

published at least twice a week for two 

consecutive weeks in a three-week 

period. A copy of the notice and the 

application must be placed in the 

station’s public inspection file, pursuant 

to Section 73.3527.
