Communications Commission

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, 
and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
3501-3520), the Federal Communications Commission (FCC or Commission) 
invites the general public and other Federal agencies to take this 
opportunity to comment on the following information collections. 
Comments are requested concerning: Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the Commission, including whether the information shall have practical 
utility; the accuracy of the Commission's burden estimate; ways to 
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; 
ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on the 
respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology; and ways to further reduce the 
information collection burden on small business concerns with fewer 
than 25 employees.
    The FCC may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information 
unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. No person 
shall be subject to any penalty for failing to comply with a collection 
of information subject to the PRA that does not display a valid OMB 
control number.

DATES: Written PRA comments should be submitted on or before July 6, 
2015. If you anticipate that you will be submitting comments, but find 
it difficult to do so within the period of time allowed by this notice, 
you should advise the contact listed below as soon as possible.

ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to Cathy Williams, FCC, via email 
[email protected] and to [email protected].

information collection, contact Cathy Williams at (202) 418-2918.

151, 152, 154(i), 303, 307 and 308.
    Total Annual Burden: 2,375,336 hours.
    Total Annual Costs: $882,236.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: The FCC is preparing a PIA.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: The personally identifiable 
information (PII) in this information collection is in part covered by 
the system of records notice (SORN), FCC/MB-1, ``Ownership of 
Commercial Broadcast Stations,'' 74 FR 59978 (2009). The Commission is 
currently drafting a Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) for the records 
covered by this SORN.
    The FCC also prepared a system of records, FCC/MB-2, ``Broadcast 
Station Public Inspection Files,'' to cover the personally identifiable 
information (PII) that may be included in the broadcast station public 
inspection files. Respondents may request materials or information 
submitted to the Commission be withheld from public inspection under 47 
CFR 0.459 of the Commission's rules.
    Needs and Uses: The public and FCC use the information in the 
public file to evaluate information about the broadcast licensee's 
performance, to ensure that broadcast stations are addressing issues 
concerning the community which it is licensed to serve and to ensure 
that stations entering into time brokerage agreements comply with 
Commission policies pertaining to licensee control and to the 
Communications Act and the antitrust laws. Placing joint sales 
agreements in the public inspection file facilitates monitoring by the 
public, competitors and regulatory agencies.
    Television broadcasters are required to send each cable operator in 
the station's market a copy of the election statement applicable to 
that particular cable operator. Placing these retransmission consent/
must-carry elections in the public file provide public access to 
documentation of station's elections which are used by cable operators 
in negotiations with television stations and by the public to ascertain 
why some stations are/are not carried by the cable systems.
    Maintenance of political files by broadcast stations and by cable 
television systems enables the public to assess money expended and time 
allotted to a political candidate and to ensure that equal access was 
afforded to other legally qualified candidates for public office.
