Synopsis 

As required by the Paperwork 

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

the Commission is notifying the public 

that it received OMB approval on May 

21, 2009, for the information collection 

requirement contained in the 

Commission’s rules at 47 CFR 

73.787(a)(5)(i). 

Under 5 CFR part 1320, an agency 

may not conduct or sponsor a collection 

of information unless it displays a 

current, valid OMB Control Number. 

No person shall be subject to any 

penalty for failing to comply with a 

collection of information subject to the 

Paperwork Reduction Act that does not 

display a valid OMB Control Number. 

The OMB Control Number is 3060– 

1086 and the total annual reporting 

burdens and costs for respondents for 

this information collection are as 

follows: 

OMB Control Numbers: 3060–1086. 

OMB Approval Date: May 21, 2009. 

Expiration Date: November 30, 2009. 

Title: Section 74.786, Digital Channel 

Assignments; Section 74.787, Digital 

Licensing; Section 74.790, Permissible 

Service of Digital TV Translator and 

LPTV Stations; Section 74.794, Digital 

Emissions, and Section 74.796, 

Modification of Digital Transmission 

Systems and Analog Transmission 

Systems for Digital Operation. 

Form Number: Not applicable. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other for 

profit entities; Not for profit institutions; 

State, local or Tribal government. 

Number of Respondents/Responses: 

8,533 respondents; 34,790 responses. 

Estimated Hours per Response: 0.50– 

4 hours. 

Frequency of Response: 

Recordkeeping requirement; One-time 

reporting requirement; Third party 

disclosure requirement. 

Total Annual Burden: 55,542 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: $95,767,200. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. The statutory 

authority for this information collection 

is contained in Section 301 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 Act Assessment: No impact(s). 

Needs and Uses: On May 8, 2009, the 

Commission adopted the Report and 

Order, In the Matter of Amendments of 

Parts 73 and 74 of the Commission’s 

Rules to Establish Rules for 

Replacement Digital Low Power 

Television Translator Stations; MB 

Docket No. 08–253, FCC 09–36 (released 

May 8, 2009). In this Report and Order, 

the Commission created a new 

‘‘replacement’’ digital television 

translator service to permit full-service 

television stations to continue to 

provide service to viewers within their 

analog coverage areas who have lost 

service as a result of those stations’ 

digital transition. Replacement digital 

translators can be licensed solely on 

digital television channels 2 through 51 

and with secondary frequency status. 

Unlike other television translator 

licenses, the replacement digital 

television translator license will be 

associated with the full-service station’s 

main license and will have the same 

four letter call sign as its associated 

main station. As a result, a replacement 

digital television translator license may 

not be separately assigned or transferred 

and will be renewed or assigned along 

with the full-service station’s main 

license. Almost all other rules 

associated with television translator 

stations are applied to replacement 

digital television translators. 

Moreover, the Report and Order 

adopts an information collection 

requirement contained in 47 CFR 

74.787(a)(5)(i). 47 CFR 74.787(a)(5)(i) 

states that an application for a 

replacement digital television translator 

may be filed by a full-service television 

station that can demonstrate that a 

portion of its analog service area will 

not be served by its full, post-transition 

digital facilities. The service area of the 

replacement digital television 

translators shall be limited to only a 

demonstrated loss area. However, an 

applicant for a replacement digital 

television translator may propose a de 

minimis expansion of its full-service 

pre-transition analog service area upon 

demonstrating that it is necessary to 

replace its post-transition analog loss 

area. 

Congress has mandated that after June 

12, 2009, full-power television 

broadcast stations must transmit only in 

digital signals, and may no longer 

transmit analog signals. Therefore, this 

collection of information will allow fullpower DTV stations to use replacement 

digital television translators to meet 

their statutory responsibilities and begin 

operations on their final, post-transition 

(digital) channels by their construction 

deadlines. Replacement digital 

television translators will provide DTV 

broadcasters with an important tool for 

providing optimum signal coverage to 

their pre-transition analog viewers. For 

some broadcasters, replacement digital 

television translators may offer the only 

option for continuing to provide overthe-air service to pre-transition analog 

viewers. 

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary.
