requirements contained in 47 CFR 73.1216, as amended in the 
Commission's Report and Order, FCC 15-118. Under 5 CFR part 1320, an

    The foregoing notification is required by the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13, October 1, 1995, and 44 U.S.C. 3507.

in cases where a licensee has chosen to meet that obligation through an

broadcasters more flexibility in the manner of their compliance with 
the Contest Rule while giving consumers improved access to important 
contest information.
