On September 17, 2010, the Commission
adopted the Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, In the Matter of
Amendment of Parts 73 and 74 of the Commissions Rules to Establish
Rules for Digital Low Power Television Translator, and Television
Booster Stations and to Amend Rules for Digital Class A Television
Stations, MB Docket No. 03-185, FCC 10-172 (LPTV Digital
Transition FNPRM). This document contains rules and policies for
low power television stations (LPTV) to transition from analog to
digital broadcasting. Due to the Commission proposing these rules
and policies to effectuate the low power digital transition, the
LPTV Digital Transition NPRM proposes new PRA burdens on licensees.
The new proposed rules and policies that contain information
collection requirements are as follows: 47 CFR Section 73.3572(h)
proposes that Class A station licensees shall file a minor change
application (FCC Form 301-CA) for either the flash cut channel or
the digital companion channel they choose to retain for
post-transition digital operations and shall also certify that
their proposed post-transition digital facilities meet all Class A
TV interference protection requirements. 47 CFR Section 74.793(d)
proposes that all digital low power and TV translator stations
shall be required to submit information as to vertical radiation
patterns as part of their applications (FCC Forms 346 and 301-CA)
for new or modified construction permits.
The Commission will have
program change increases of 1,000 hours to the annual burden hours
and $400,000 to the annual cost burden due if the information
collections requirements and form revisions associated with FCC
10-172, 47 CFR 73.3572(h) and 47 CFR 74.793(d) are adopted by the
Commission. There also are adjustments/increases of $520,000 to the
annual cost which are due to increases in consulting fees.
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.
