On September 30, 2004, the Commission
released the Report and Order, 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 04-220 (LPTV Digital Transition Report and
Order). The LPTV Digital Transition Report and Order contains
rules and policies for low power stations (LPTV) to transition
from analog to digital broadcasting and provides that should a new
digital low power television, television translator, or Class A
permittee require an extension of time to construct, and have an
acceptable reason for failing to construct, as set forth in 47
C.F.R. §74.788(c)(1) (2), the permittee must comply with 47
C.F.R. §74.788(c)(4) (using Form 337). This new requirement
requires that a new digital low power television, television
translator, and Class A permittee must submit FCC Form 337,
Application for Extension of Time to Construct a Digital Television
Broadcast Station, and comply with 47 C.F.R. §74.788(c)(4) should
the permittee require an extension of time to construct and an
acceptable reason for failing to construct, as set forth in 47
C.F.R. §74.788(c)(1) (2), applies. With this non-substantive
change request submission, the Commission is correcting the
impacted rule to read Section 74.788 instead of 73.788.
There are program
changes/increases to the annual number of respondents of +1,000,
annual number of responses of +1,000, annual burden hours of +1,000
hours and to the annual cost burden of +$130,000 which are due to
the information collection requirements that are contained in FCC
04-220 (FCC Form 337). There are no adjustments 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 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
