The Commission is revising this collection to reflect the Commission’s adoption of a Report and Order (“R&O”) in MB Docket No. 16-161, FCC 17-3, In the Matter of Revisions to Public Inspection File Requirements – Broadcaster Correspondence File and Cable Principal Headend Location, adopted on January 31, 2017. The R&O removes the requirements and the associated burdens of 47 CFR 73.1202 and 73.3526(e)(9). This collection is being resubmitted as a result of the final rule – initially submitted at the proposed rule stage. The Commission is now seeking final approval from the information collection requirements from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). While the general public does not need principal headend location information, that information must be made available to certain entities, including the FCC and local television stations. The R&O requires cable operators to provide this information to the FCC, television stations, and franchisors upon request. In lieu of responding to individual requests for such information, operators may alternatively elect voluntarily to provide this information to the Commission for inclusion in the Commission’s online public inspection file (“OPIF”) database and may elect to make the information publicly available there. The R&O made the following revisions to the information collection requirements: 47 CFR Section 73.1202 - The R&O removed this rule, reserved the rule section and removed the information collection requirements which were contained in it. The rule formerly required commercial broadcast stations to retain in the public inspection file written comments and suggestions from the public regarding operation of the station. 47 CFR Section 73.3526 - The R&O revised this rule to remove the references to the correspondence file in 73.3526(b)(1) and 73.3526(b)(2)(i) and to remove and reserve Section 73.3526(e)(9). Section 73.3526(e)(9) formerly required commercial broadcast stations to retain in their public inspection file written comments and suggestions received from the public regarding operation of the station.
