Abstract: On January 28, 2010, the Commission adopted a First Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (the “Order”) in MB Docket No. 09-52; FCC 10-24. The Order adopts rule changes designed to streamline and clarify certain procedures associated with the award of broadcast radio construction permits by competitive bidding. In the Order, the Commission also adopted a priority under Section 307(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, to assist federally recognized Native American Tribes and Alaska Native Villages (“Tribes”), enrolled members of Tribes, and entities primarily owned or controlled by Tribes or enrolled members of Tribes, in obtaining broadcast radio construction permits designed primarily to serve tribal lands (the “Tribal Priority”). Applicants affiliated with Tribes who meet certain conditions regarding tribal membership and signal coverage qualify for the Tribal Priority.

Short Statement: We have program changes to the annual cost burden of +$48,200 and +510.00 to the annual burden hours due to the adoption of information collection requirements contained in the Order. The rules which impose information collection requirements are designed to facilitate opportunities for participation in the broadcasting industry by members of Native American Tribes and Alaska Native Villages who avail themselves of the Tribal Priority but may need or desire to assign or transfer stations obtained using the Tribal Priority. The Commission also has adjustments to the total annual cost burden of +$15,630,000 which are due to increases in consulting fees.
