[OMB 3060-XXXX]


Information Collection Being Reviewed by the Federal 
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 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 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 April 11, 
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.

[[Page 7098]]


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-XXXX.
    Title: Carriage of Digital Television Broadcast Signals: Amendment 
to Part 76 of the Commission's Rules.
    Form Number: None.
    Type of Review: New collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 11 respondents; 11 responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 0.25 hours (15 minutes).
    Frequency of Response: Third party disclosure requirement and 
recordkeeping requirement.
    Total Annual Burden: 3 hours.
    Total Annual Costs: No cost.
    Obligation to Respond: Required in order to monitor regulatory 
compliance. The statutory authority for this collection of information 
is contained in Sections 4, 303, 614 and 615 of the Communications Act 
of 1934, as amended.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for 
confidentiality with this collection of information.
    Privacy Impact Assessment(s): No impact(s).
    Needs and Uses: The information collection imposes a notification 
requirement on certain small cable systems that become ineligible for 
exemption from the requirement to carry high definition broadcast 
signals in HD (adopted in FCC 15-65). In particular, the information 
collection requires that, beginning December 12, 2016, at the time a 
small cable system utilizing the HD carriage exemption offers any 
programming in HD, the system must give notice that it is offering HD 
programming to all broadcast stations in its market that are carried on 
its system. Cable operators must also keep records of such 
notification. This information collection requirement allows affected 
broadcast stations to monitor compliance with the requirement that 
cable operators transmit high definition broadcast signals in HD.
