Type of Information Collection: Revision of a currently approved collection	Common Form ICR:  No
Type of Review Request: Emergency	Approval Requested By: 02/08/1999
OIRA Conclusion Action: Approved without change	Conclusion Date: 02/08/1999
	Date Received in OIRA: 02/05/1999
Terms of Clearance: The FCC has adopted a recordkeeping requirement for entities that choose to use the FCC's proposed contour measurement techniques as a means of determining whether a home is eligible to receive local television broadcaster programming from satellites. OMB merged this collection which was proposed as a standalone collection with the collection that was approved by OMB covering the NPRM. OMB believes that because the FCC does not prescribe use of measurements or models to make the actual determination or eligiblity, these are not covered by the PRA. The FCC does have a requirement that entities that do take these measurements shall retain the results to assist in adjudicating future claims which is covered under the PRA.
