On October 27, 2011, the Commission adopted a Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking ("FNPRM") in MM Docket 00-168, FCC 11-162, In the Matter of Standardized and Enhanced Disclosure Requirements for Television Broadcast Licensee Public Interest Obligations. The FNPRM proposes to largely replace the decades-old requirement that commercial and noncommercial television stations maintain a paper public file at their main studios with a requirement to submit documents for inclusion in an online public file to be hosted by the Commission.

The increased burdens imposed by the proposed requirements in the FNPRM will be offset in part by reducing burdens by placing the public file online in a database to be hosted by the Commission. Because more than a third of the required contents of the public file have to be filed with the Commission in our Consolidated DataBase System ("CDBS") under current rules, we propose that we will import and update any information that must already be filed with the Commission electronically in CDBS to each station's public file, which will be part of a database of all television station public files on the Commission's website. This will create efficiencies for broadcasters, since they must currently upload such filings to CDBS and then also ensure that the same documents are included in the public file kept at the station. Further efficiencies will be created as members of the public that wish to view the public file will no longer be visiting the station to do so, thereby enabling stations to reduce staff resources currently dedicated to assisting and overseeing members of the public that wish to view the file. Therefore, this collection has program changes/decreases of 17,906 to the annual burden hours. Also, there are program changes/increases to the annual cost burden of $801,150.00 for the proposed requirements contained in FCC 11-162.
