    Needs and Uses: The information collection requirements contained

translator station shall not rebroadcast the programs of any other TV 
broadcast station without obtaining prior consent of the station whose 
signals or programs are proposed to be retransmitted. Section 74.784(b) 
requires licensees of low power television and TV translator stations 
to notify the Commission when rebroadcasting programs or signals of 
another station. This notification shall include the call letters of

TV translator station shall certify that written consent has been 
obtained from the licensee of the station whose programs are 
retransmitted.
    Lastly, the information collection requirements contained in 47 CFR 
74.1284 require that the licensee of a FM translator station obtain

FM translator. The licensee of the FM translator station must notify 
the Commission of the call letters of each station rebroadcast and must 
certify that written consent has been received from the licensee of 
that station. Also, AM stations are allowed to use FM translator 
stations to rebroadcast the AM signal.
