In its next submission, the agency should remove the cost burdens that are a monetization of the burden hours. The agency is reminded to avoid such double-counting of burden in the future.

On May 8, 2009, the Commission adopted the Report and Order (R&O), In the Matter of Amendment 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. This document contains rules and policies for a new replacement digital low power television (LPTV) translator service that will permit full-service television stations to continue to provide service to their pre-transition analog viewers who have lost service as a result of those stations’ digital transition.
The Federal Communications Commission requests approval under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, and in accordance with the Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB) emergency processing rules (5 CFR 1320.13), for revision of a currently approved information collection requirement (OMB Control Numbers 3060-1086). This revised information collection will allow full power DTV stations to use a new replacement digital television translator service to provide TV service. Use of the replacement digital television translator service by DTV stations is voluntary, but for some stations may offer the only option for continuing to provide over-the-air service to current analog viewers after the statutory DTV transition deadline of June 12, 2009. The Commission is requesting that the OMB waive the PRA comment period due to the short time frame provided for the Commission to act and because PRA approval is needed to allow stations to make filings immediately. Thus, we would request OMB’s approval by May 27, 2009. The DTV transition affects virtually every segment of the television industry and every American who watches television. Congress has mandated that after June 12, 2009, full-power television broadcast stations must transmit only digital signals and may no longer transmit analog signals. The Commission has no discretion to waive or change this statutory deadline. Stations that are not ready to commence digital operations upon expiration of the statutory transition deadline may be forced to go dark, potentially resulting in significant loss of television service to the American public and significant harm to the broadcast TV industry and the U.S. economy. In addition, the DTV transition will enable the recovery of spectrum for critically important public safety needs and new wireless services.
