FCC Form 302-DTV is used by licensees
and permittees of DTV broadcast stations to obtain a new or
modified station license, and/or to notify the FCC of certain
changes in the licensed facilities. With this submission, we
request to reinstate OMB control number 3060-0837. In 2008, we
merged the requirements that were previously under this OMB control
number into an existing information collection OMB control number
3060-0029, Application for TV Broadcast Station License, FCC Form
302-TV. Although the requirements were merged under the supporting
statement, the forms themselves remained separate and only shared
the same OMB control number. Since that time, we find the merging
of these requirements under one OMB control number as ineffective
causing delays for submission to OMB for review especially when the
various requirements were revised by multiple Commission
actions.
This is a request to reinstate
a previous OMB Control Number 3060-0837. As stated in paragraph 1,
the requirements of this collection were merged into OMB Control
Number 3060-0029 and the Commission now wants to separate the
requirements. This will allow the Commission to operate more
effectively with the information collections. Therefore, the
Commission have program changes of +300 in the annual number of
responses, +600 annual burden hours and +$133,800 in costs to this
information collection.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
