Filing of the FCC Form 345 is required
when applying for authority for assignment of license or permit, or
for consent to transfer of control of a corporate licensee or
permittee for an FM or TV translator station, or low power TV
station. This collection also includes the third party disclosure
requirement of 47 CFR Section 73.3580 (OMB approval was received
for Section 73.3580 under OMB Control Number 3060-0031). 47 CFR
Section 73.3580 requires local public notice in a newspaper of
general circulation in the community in which the station is
located or providing notice over the air of the filing of all
applications for assignment of license/permit. This notice must be
completed within 30 days of the tendering of the application. In
addition, a copy of this notice and the application must be placed
in the station’s public inspection file pursuant to Sections
73.3526 and 73.3527. On October 21, 2015, the Commission adopted a
First Report and Order, Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, and
Notice of Inquiry, in Revitalization of the AM Radio Service, MB
Docket No. 13-249, FCC 15-142. In the Further Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking component of this rulemaking proceeding (“AM
Revitalization FNPRM”), the Commission proposes to make the
following rule (and Form) changes to this information collection:
modify Section 74.1201(g) of the rules to provide that the coverage
contour (1 mV/m) of an FM translator station rebroadcasting an AM
radio station as its primary station must be contained within the
greater of either the 2 mV/m daytime contour of the AM station, or
a 25-mile radius centered at the AM station’s transmitter site, but
that in no event may the FM translator’s 1 mV/m coverage contour
extend beyond a 40-mile (64 km) radius centered at the AM station’s
transmitter site.
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
