30-Day Notice - Generic PRA Clearance for Prize Competition Participation - 84 FR 48143 (Sept 12 2019)

Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 177 / Thursday, September 12, 2019 / Notices
Total Annual Burden: 140,751 hours.
Total Annual Cost: No Cost.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No
Impact(s).
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
Logged information on receipt of the
weekly test by Satellite Digital Audio
Radio Service (SDARS) providers is
retained for two years at the provider’s
headquarters, and available for public
inspection upon reasonable request.
Needs and Uses: Part 11 contains
rules and regulations addressing the
nation’s Emergency Alert System (EAS).
The EAS provides the President with
the capability to provide immediate
communications and information to the
general public during periods of
national emergency over broadcast
television and radio, cable, direct
broadcast radio and other EAS
Participants, as defined in Section
11.11(a) of the Commission’s rules The
EAS also provides state and local
governments and the National Weather
Service with the capability to provide
immediate communications and
information to the public concerning
emergency situations posing a threat to
life and property. Part 11 includes
testing requirements to ensure proper
and efficient operation of the EAS.
In the Order, EB Docket No. 04–296,
PS Docket No. 15–94, FCC 19–57, the
Commission amended the Part 11 EAS
testing requirements applied to SDARS
providers to (i) eliminate requiring
SDARS providers to transmit weekly
tests in favor of requiring them to only
log receipt of the weekly test, and (ii)
eliminate the requirement that SDARS
providers transmit monthly test on all
channels in favor of requiring them to
transmit the monthly test on 10% of all
of their channels, with channels tested
varying from month to month, so that
over the course of a given year, 100%
of all of its channels are tested.
The Commission seeks OMB approval
of these rule amendments as a
modification of a previously approved
information collection. These changes to
the SDARS testing requirements were
specifically requested by the lone entity
authorized to provide SDARS service in
the U.S. The amendments harmonize
the EAS testing requirements applied to
SDARS service with those applied to the
similarly situated Direct Broadcast
Satellite (DBS) service. Further, the
changes to the SDARS test requirements
represent a net reduction in the burden
imposed on SDARS providers (of which
there is only one). Specifically, the
modified monthly test requirements for
SDARS do not eliminate monthly
testing but likely make such testing less
burdensome to administer and
schedule. The weekly test requirement

VerDate Sep<11>2014

17:27 Sep 11, 2019

Jkt 247001

for SDARS of substituting logging of
receipt of a weekly test for conducting
the weekly test, represents a reduced
burden, as EAS equipment
automatically records when weekly tests
are received. Further, not having to
transmit the EAS header codes and End
of Message (EOM) code on all channels
randomly once per week relieves the
SDARS provider from having to
coordinate and administer such testing.
Because the reduced burden is de
minimis relative to the aggregate
estimated in-house cost to all regulated
entities subject to weekly EAS testing
requirements, we are not seeking to
change the currently approved burden
inventory. Specifically, the currently
approved burden for conducting weekly
tests has been established at 0.017 hours
per week, for 40 weeks (weekly tests are
not required for the week in which a
monthly test is conducted); thus, the
annual burden for SDARS providers to
conduct weekly tests is 0.68 hours, at an
estimated annual in-house cost of $26
((0.68) × ($38 per hour)). While it seems
likely that this annual cost will be
lessened under the modified weekly
testing requirement—to some figure
between $0 and $26—given that there is
only one SDARS provider, that amount
will be de minimis relative to the total
estimated in-house cost to all
respondents (currently approved at
42,840 hours at an aggregate cost of
$1,627,920).
The following information collections
contained in Part 11 may be impacted
by the rule amendments described
herein. The revised EAS testing
requirements for SDARS providers
affect one entity, who formally
requested adoption of such
amendments. As described above, the
revised requirements represent a net
reduction in burdens to SDARS
providers. The rule amendments may
impact currently existing paperwork
collection requirements as discussed
below.
Section 11.35 requires that all EAS
Participants (the entities required to
transmit federal EAS alerts) are
responsible for ensuring that EAS
Encoders/Decoders and Attention Signal
generating and receiving equipment
used as part of the EAS are installed so
that the monitoring and transmitting
functions are available during the times
the stations/systems are in operation.
EAS Participants must determine the
cause of any failure to receive the
required tests or activations. When the
EAS is not operating properly, section
11.35 requires appropriate entries be
made in the station/system logs
indicating why any tests were not
received for all broadcast streams and

cable systems. All other EAS
Participants must also keep record
indicating reasons why any tests were
not received and these records must be
retained for two years, maintained at the
EAS Participant’s headquarters, and
made available for public inspection
upon reasonable request.
Section 11.61 requires EAS
Participants to conduct periodic EAS
tests. Tests of the EAS header codes,
attention signal, test script and EOM
code are required to be performed
monthly. Tests of the EAS header codes
and end of message codes are made at
least once a week. National primary
sources shall participate in tests as
appropriate. DBS providers, Class D
non-commercial educational FM
stations and low power TV stations are
not required to transmit this test but
must log receipt of the test in
conformance with Section 11.35. The
FCC may request a report of the tests of
the national primary sources. In
addition, entries must be made in
stations/systems logs/records as
previously stated.
This information is used by FCC staff
as part of routine inspections of EAS
Participants. Accurate recordkeeping of
this data is vital in determining the
location and nature of possible
equipment failure on the part of the
transmitting or receiving entity.
Furthermore, since the national level
EAS is solely for the President’s use, its
proper operation must be assured.

be conducted across various divisions of
the agency, involving a variety of topics
and challenges associated with
underserved communities and financial
inclusion; consumer protection; the
FDIC’s use of information technology
and data (including artificial
intelligence and machine learning); and
financial and technologically-driven
innovation in banking. The total hourly
burden attributed to this generic
clearance will be 30,000 hours (6,000
hours per prize competition × 5
