On January 29, 2010, the Commission
released the Order, Digital Audio Broadcasting Systems and Their
Impact on the Terrestrial Radio Broadcast Service, DA 10-208, MM
Docket 99-325. This Order adopts changes in our digital audio
broadcasting (DAB) technical rules to permit FM stations to
voluntarily increase FM hybrid digital effective radiated power
from the current maximum permissible level of one percent of
authorized analog effective radiated power up to a maximum of 10%
of authorized FM Analog Effective Radiated Power (ERP).
The Commission had adjustments
of -360 to the annual number of responses and -720 hours to the
total annual burden hours. These adjustments were due to decreases
in the number of respondents and responses under Section 73.404(b)
and (e). The Commission also had program changes/increases of
+1,080 to the annual burden hours and +$606,500 to the annual cost
burden. These program changes are due to the adoption of
information collection requirements contained in DA 10-208.
