The Commission is requesting approval
for non-substantial changes to collection 3060-0010, FCC Form 323.
As a result of the Commission's recent decision to attribute
certain television joint sales agreements ("JSAs"), the Contract
Information question in Section II-A (Non-Biennial Ownership
Information) and Section II-B (Biennial Ownership Information) are
being changed to require the disclosure of attributable television
JSAs (i.e., by removing the "radio" modifier for JSAs). Each
question was previously limited to attributable radio JSAs, among
other agreements no relevant to this request. These changes do not
increase the number of respondents or create a new universe of
respondents for Form 323. In addition, the vast majority of
respondents will not be a party to an attributable television JSA
and will have nothing to disclose; therefore, the changes will not
impact these filers at all. For those respondents that must now
disclose an attributable television JSA, responding to this
question will require a de minimis amount of additional time that
will not change the overall burden hours calculation or the
associated costs for this information collection. In addition to
the changes to the form detailed in the attached non-substantive
change request, the Commission will make various conforming edits
to the table associated with each question and to the instructions
for the form.
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.
