On July 10, 2019 the Commission
adopted a Report and Order in MB Docket Nos. 18-202 and 17-105, FCC
19-67, Children’s Television Programming Rules; Modernization of
Media Regulation Initiative. Under the Children’s Television Act of
1990 (CTA), the Commission is required to consider, in its review
of television license renewals, the extent to which the licensee
“has served the educational and informational needs of children
through the licensee’s overall programming, including programming
specifically designed to serve such needs.” The Commission
initially adopted rules implementing the CTA in 1991, and revised
these rules in 1996, 2004, and 2006. In the Report and Order, the
Commission revises the children’s television programming rules in
light of changes to the media landscape that have occurred since
the children’s television programming rules were first adopted. 47
CFR Section 76.1703 requires that cable operators airing children’s
programming maintain records sufficient to verify compliance with
47 CFR Section 76.225 and make such records available to the
public. Such records must be maintained for a period sufficient to
cover the limitations period specified in 47 U.S.C. Section
503(b)(6)(B). In the Report and Order, the Commission revises the
rules to permit cable television operators to file their
certifications of compliance with the commercial limits in
children’s programming annually rather than quarterly and to permit
the filing of these certifications within 30 days after the end of
the calendar year.
There are only program changes
to the annual burden hours. These changes are decreases to the
annual burden hours of 12,000 hours and $591,840 to the annual
cost. This is due to the Commission reducing the frequency with
which respondents must file their certifications of compliance with
the commercial limits in children’s programming from a quarterly to
annual basis. There are no adjustments to this collection.
