Information Collection Being Reviewed by the Federal 
Communications Commission Delegated Authority

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 the 
Commission) invites the general public and other Federal agencies to 
take this opportunity to comment on the following information 
collection. 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 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 Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) control number.

DATES: Written PRA comments should be submitted on or before October 4, 
2016. 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].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For additional information about the 
information collection, contact Cathy Williams at (202) 418-2918.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    OMB Control Number: 3060-0707.
    Title: Over-the-Air Reception Devices (OTARD).
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: State or Local, or Tribal Government.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 77 respondents; 77 responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 2-6 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting; third party 
disclosure.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. The 
statutory authority for this collection of information is contained in 
Section 207 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended.
    Total Annual Burden: 288 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: 17,100.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No impact.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for 
confidentiality with this collection of information.
    Needs and Uses: Section 207 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 
(``1996 Act'') directs the Commission to promulgate rules prohibiting 
restrictions on viewers' ability to receive over-the-air signals by 
television broadcast, multichannel multipoint distribution, or direct 
broadcast satellite services.
    In a Report and Order, Memorandum Opinion and Order and Further 
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, CS Docket No. 96-83, FCC 96-328, 
released August 6, 1996, the Commission fully implemented Section 207 
of the 1996 Act by adopting final rules for a preemption of state, 
local and non-governmental regulations that impair viewers ability to 
receive over-the-air signals. In doing so, the FCC acknowledged the 
necessity of allowing

[[Page 51882]]

state, local and non-governmental entities to continue to enforce 
certain regulations and restrictions, such as those serving safety 
purposes, and therefore exempted them from its prohibition.
    Also, state, local and non-governmental entities were permitted to 
file petitions for waivers.
    On September 25, 1998, the Commission released an Order on 
Reconsideration, FCC 98-214, in this proceeding that further modified 
and clarified Section 207 rules. Among other things, the Order on 
Reconsideration clarified how declaratory rulings and waivers in this 
matter are to be served on all interested parties. If a local 
government seeks a declaratory ruling or a waiver, it must take steps 
to afford reasonable, constructive notice to residents in its 
jurisdiction (e.g., by placing notices in a local newspaper of general 
circulation). Certificates of service and proof of constructive notice 
also must be provided to the Commission with the petition.
    In this regard, the petitioner should provide the Commission with a 
copy of the notice and an explanation of where the notice was placed 
and how many people the notice might reasonably have reached.
    Effective January 22, 1999, FCC 98-273, the Commission amended the 
rules so that it applies to rental property where the renter has an 
exclusive use area, such as a balcony or patio.
    In FCC 00-366, the Commission then further amended the rule so that 
it applies to customer-end antennas that receive and transmit fixed 
wireless signals. This amendment became effective on May 25, 2001.
