SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    OMB Control Number: 3060-0010.
    Title: Ownership Report for Commercial Broadcast Stations, FCC Form 
2100, Schedule 323 (formerly FCC Form 323); Section 73.3615, Ownership 
Reports; Section 74.797, Biennial Ownership Reports.
    Form Number: FCC Form 2100, Schedule 323 (formerly FCC Form 323).
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities; not-for-profit 
institutions; State, Local, or Tribal Governments.
    Number of Respondents: 4,340 respondents; 4,340 responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 1.5 to 2.5 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement; biennial 
reporting requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. 
Statutory authority for these collections are contained in 47 U.S.C. 
151, 152(a), 154(i), 257, 303(r), 307, 309, and 310.
    Total Annual Burden: 9,620 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $10,093,220.
    Privacy Impact Assessment: The Commission is drafting a Privacy 
Impact Assessment (PIA) for the personally identifiable information 
(PII) that is covered by the system of records notice (SORN), FCC/MB-1, 
Ownership Report for Commercial Broadcast Stations. Upon completion of 
the PIA, it will be posted on the FCC's Web site, as required by the 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Memorandum, M-03-22 (September 
22, 2003).
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: FCC Form 2100, Schedule 323 
(formerly FCC Form 323) collects two types of information from 
respondents: PII in the form of names, addresses, job titles and 
demographic information; and FCC Registration Numbers (FRNs).
    The FCC/MB-1 SORN, which was approved on December 21, 2009 (74 FR 
59978), covers the collection, purpose(s), storage, safeguards, and 
disposal of the PII that individual respondents may submit on Form 
2100, Schedule 323, as required under the Privacy Act of 1974, as 
amended (5 U.S.C. 552a). The Commission is drafting a privacy statement 
to inform applicants (respondents) of the Commission's need to obtain 
the information and the protections that the Commission has in place to 
protect the PII.
    FRNs are assigned to applicants who complete FCC Form 160 (OMB 
Control No. 3060-0917). Form 160 currently requires applicants for FRNs 
to provide their Taxpayer Information Number (TIN) and/or Social 
Security Number (SSN). The FCC's electronic Commission Registration 
System (CORES) then provides each registrant with a CORES FRN, which 
identifies the registrant in his/her subsequent dealings with the FCC. 
This is done to protect the individual's privacy. The Commission 
maintains a SORN, FCC/OMD-9, Commission Registration System (CORES), to 
cover the collection, purpose(s), storage, safeguards, and disposal of 
the PII that individual respondents may submit on Form 160. Form 160 
includes a privacy statement to inform applicants (respondents) of the 
Commission's need to obtain the information and the protections that 
the FCC has in place to protect the PII.
    The Commission is revising Form 160 to enable applicants to obtain 
a Restricted Use FRN, which may be used on Form 2100, Schedule 323 to 
identify an individual reported as an attributable interest holder. The 
revised Form 160 will require applicants for Restricted Use FRNs to 
provide an alternative set of identifying information that does not 
include the individual's full SSN: His/her full name, residential 
address, date of birth, and only the last four digits of his/her SSN. 
Restricted Use FRNs may be used in lieu of CORES FRNs only on broadcast 
ownership reports and only for individuals (not entities) reported as 
attributable interest holders. The Commission is revising FCC/OMD-9 
SORN to cover the collection, purpose(s), storage, safeguards, and 
disposal of the PII that individual respondents may submit on the 
revised Form 160.
    Needs and Uses: On January 20, 2016, the Commission released a 
Report and Order, Second Report and Order, and Order on Reconsideration 
in MB Docket Nos. 07-294, 10-103, and MD Docket No. 10-234 (Second 
Report and Order). The Second Report and Order refines the collection 
of data reported on FCC Form 323, Ownership Report for Commercial 
Broadcast Stations, and FCC Form 323-E, Ownership Report for 
Noncommercial Broadcast Stations. Specifically, the Second Report and 
Order implements a Restricted Use FRN (RUFRN) within the Commission's 
Registration System (CORES) that individuals may use solely for the 
purpose of broadcast ownership report filings; eliminates the 
availability of the Special Use FRN (SUFRN) for broadcast station 
ownership reports, except in very limited circumstances; prescribes 
revisions to Form 323-E that conform the reporting requirements for 
noncommercial educational (NCE)

[[Page 66019]]

broadcast stations more closely to those for commercial stations; and 
makes a number of significant changes to the Commission's reporting 
requirements that reduce the filing burdens on broadcasters, streamline 
the process, and improve data quality. These enhancements will enable 
the Commission to obtain data reflecting a more useful, accurate, and 
thorough assessment of minority and female broadcast station ownership 
in the United States while reducing certain filing burdens.
    Licensees of commercial AM, FM, and full power television broadcast 
stations, as well as licensees of Class A and Low Power Television 
stations, must file FCC Form 2100, Schedule 323 (formerly FCC Form 323) 
every two years. Biennial Ownership Reports shall provide information 
accurate as of October 1 of the year in which the Report is filed. Form 
2100, Schedule 323 shall be filed by December 1 in all odd-numbered 
years.
    In addition, Licensees and Permittees of commercial AM, FM, and 
full power television stations must file Form 2100, Schedule 323 
following the consummation of a transfer of control or an assignment of 
a commercial AM, FM, or full power television station license or 
construction permit; a Permittee of a new commercial AM, FM, or full 
power television station must file Form 2100, Schedule 323 within 30 
days after the grant of the construction permit; and a Permittee of a 
new commercial AM, FM, or full power television broadcast station must 
file Form 2100, Schedule 323 to update the initial report or to certify 
the continuing accuracy and completeness of the previously filed report 
on the date that the Permittee applies for a license to cover the 
construction permit.
    In the case of organizational structures that include holding 
companies or other forms of indirect ownership, a separate Form 2100, 
Schedule 323 must be filed for each entity in the organizational 
structure that has an attributable interest in the Licensee or 
Permittee.

    OMB Control Number: 3060-0084.
    Title: Ownership Report for Noncommercial Educational Broadcast 
Stations, FCC Form 2100, Schedule 323-E (formerly FCC Form 323-E); 
Section 73.3615, Ownership Reports.
    Form Number: FCC Form 2100, Schedule 323-E (formerly FCC Form 323-
E).
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Not-for-profit institutions.
    Number of Respondents: 2,636 respondents; 2,636 responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 1 to 1.5 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement; biennial 
reporting requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. 
Statutory authority for these collections are contained in 47 U.S.C. 
151, 152(a), 154(i), 257, 303(r), 307, 308, 309, and 310.
    Total Annual Burden: 3,867 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $2,319,900.
    Privacy Impact Assessment: The Commission is drafting a Privacy 
Impact Assessment (PIA) for the personally identifiable information 
(PII) that is covered by the system of records notice (SORN), FCC/MB-1, 
Ownership Report for Commercial Broadcast Stations. The Commission is 
also revising the FCC/MB-1 SORN to cover the collection, purpose(s), 
storage, safeguards, and disposal of the PII that individual 
respondents may submit on FCC Form 2100, Schedule 323-E. The PIA will 
address the PII that is covered by the FCC/MB-1 SORN, as revised. Upon 
completion of the PIA, it will be posted on the FCC's Web site, as 
required by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Memorandum, M-03-
22 (September 22, 2003).
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: FCC Form 2100, Schedule 323-E 
(formerly FCC Form 323-E) collects two types of information from 
respondents: PII in the form of names, addresses, job titles and 
demographic information; and FCC Registration Numbers (FRNs).
    The Commission is revising the FCC/MB-1 SORN to cover the 
collection, purpose(s), storage, safeguards, and disposal of the PII 
that individual respondents may submit on FCC Form 2100, Schedule 323-
E, as required under the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended (5 U.S.C. 
552a). The Commission is also drafting a privacy statement to inform 
applicants (respondents) of the Commission's need to obtain the 
information and the protections that the FCC has in place to protect 
the PII.
    FRNs are assigned to applicants who complete FCC Form 160 (OMB 
Control No. 3060-0917). Form 160 currently requires applicants for FRNs 
to provide their Taxpayer Information Number (TIN) and/or Social 
Security Number (SSN). The FCC's electronic Commission Registration 
System (CORES) then provides each registrant with a CORES FRN, which

maintains a SORN, FCC/OMD-9, Commission Registration System (CORES), to 
cover the collection, purpose(s), storage, safeguards, and disposal of 
the PII that individual respondents may submit on FCC Form 160. FCC 
Form 160 includes a privacy statement to inform applicants 
(respondents) of the Commission's need to obtain the information and 
the protections that the FCC has in place to protect the PII.
    The Commission is revising Form 160 to enable applicants to obtain 
a Restricted Use FRN, which may be used on Form 2100, Schedule 323-E to 
identify an individual reported as an attributable interest holder. The 
revised Form 160 will require applicants for Restricted Use FRNs to 
provide an alternative set of identifying information that does not 
include the individual's full SSN: His/her full name, residential 
address, date of birth, and only the last four digits of his/her SSN. 
Restricted Use FRNs may be used in lieu of CORES FRNs only on broadcast 
ownership reports and only for individuals (not entities) reported as 
attributable interest holders. The Commission is revising the FCC/OMD-9 
SORN to cover the collection, purpose(s), storage, safeguards, and 
disposal of the PII that individual respondents may submit on the 
revised Form 160.
    Needs and Uses: On January 20, 2016, the Commission released a 
Report and Order, Second Report and Order, and Order on Reconsideration 
in MB Docket Nos. 07-294, 10-103, and MD Docket No. 10-234 (323/CORES 
Order and Reconsideration Order). The 323/CORES Order and 
Reconsideration Order refines the collection of data reported on FCC 
Form 323, Ownership Report for Commercial Broadcast Stations, and FCC 
Form 323-E, Ownership Report for Noncommercial Broadcast Stations. 
Specifically, the 323/CORES Order and Reconsideration Order implements 
a Restricted Use FRN (RUFRN) within the Commission's Registration 
System (CORES) that individuals may use solely for the purpose of 
broadcast ownership report filings. In light of the Commission's 
adoption of the RUFRN requirement, the 323/CORES Order and 
Reconsideration Order eliminates the availability of the Special Use 
FRN (SUFRN) for broadcast station ownership reports, except in very 
limited circumstances. The 323/CORES Order and Reconsideration Order 
also prescribes revisions to Form 323-E that conform the reporting 
requirements for noncommercial educational broadcast stations more 
closely to those for commercial stations, including information about 
the race,

[[Page 66020]]

gender, and ethnicity of existing, reportable interest holders; the use 
of a unique identifier; and the biennial filing requirement. In 
addition, the 323/CORES Order and Reconsideration Order makes a number 
of significant changes to the Commission's reporting requirements that 
reduce the filing burdens on broadcasters, streamline the process, and 
improve data quality. These enhancements will enable the Commission to 
obtain data reflecting a more useful, accurate, and thorough assessment 
of minority and female broadcast station ownership in the United States 
while reducing certain filing burdens.
    Licensees of noncommercial educational AM, FM, and television 
broadcast stations must file FCC Form 2100, Schedule 323-E (formerly 
FCC Form 323-E) every two years. Pursuant to the new filing procedures 
adopted in the 323/CORES Order and Reconsideration Order, Form 2100, 
Schedule 323-E shall be filed by December 1 in all odd-numbered years. 
Biennial Ownership Reports shall provide information accurate as of 
October 1 of the year in which the Report is filed.
    In addition, Licensees and Permittees of noncommercial educational 
AM, FM, and television stations must file Form 2100, Schedule 323-E 
following the consummation of a transfer of control or an assignment of 
a noncommercial educational AM, FM, or television station license or 
construction permit; a Permittee of a new noncommercial educational AM, 
FM, or television station must file Form 2100, Schedule 323-E within 30 
days after the grant of the construction permit; and a Permittee of a

Form 2100, Schedule 323-E to update the initial report or to certify 
the continuing accuracy and completeness of the previously filed report 
on the date that the Permittee applies for a license to cover the 
construction permit.
    In the case of organizational structures that include holding
