The information collection requirements covered by this collection are codified in Section 73.1216 of the Commission's rules (the "Contest Rule"), 47 C.F.R. § 73.1216, which the Commission adopted on September 8, 1976 and released on September 16, 1976. See Amendment of Part 73 of the Commission's Rules Relating to Licensee-Conducted Contests, Report and Order, 60 F.C.C. 2d 1072 (1976), FCC 76-854. Although the Commission adopted this rule (which has not since been amended) prior to enactment of the Paperwork Reduction Act, it has not obtained clearance from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for the information collections contained therein, as required by 5 C.F.R. § 1320.14. As such, these requirements constitute existing information collections in use without an OMB Control Number. Commission staff discovered the lack of OMB approval for the requirements during the course of a rulemaking proceeding proposing to amend them. The Commission adopted the Contest Rule in 1976 to address concerns about the manner in which broadcast stations were conducting contests over the air. The Contest Rule, among other things, requires broadcast stations: (i) to disclose material contest terms fully and accurately; (ii) to conduct contests substantially as announced or advertised; (iii) to disclose material terms the first time the audience is told how to enter or participate and periodically thereafter; and (iv) to disclose material terms through broadcast announcements. These information collection requirements are necessary to ensure that broadcast licensees conduct contests with due regard for the public interest.
