Commission intends to discontinue information collection 3060-1047 once 
this information collection is approved.
    In 2003, the Commission released the 2003 Second Improved TRS 
Order, published at 68 FR 50973, August 25, 2003, which among other 
things required that TRS providers offer certain local exchange carrier 
(LEC)-based improved services and features where technologically 
feasible, including a speed dialing requirement which may entail 
voluntary recordkeeping for TRS providers to maintain a list of 
telephone numbers. See also 47 CFR 64.604(a)(3)(vi)(B).
    In 2007, the Commission released the Section 225/255 VoIP Report 
and Order, published at 72 FR 43546, August 6, 2007, extending the 
disability access requirements that apply to telecommunications service 
providers and equipment manufacturers under 47 U.S.C. 225, 255 to 
interconnected voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) service providers 
and equipment manufacturers. As a result, under rules implementing 
section 225 of the Act, interconnected VoIP service providers are 
required to publicize information about telecommunications relay 
services (TRS) and 711 abbreviated dialing access to TRS. See also 47 
CFR 64.604(c)(3).
    In 2007, the Commission released the 2007 Cost Recovery Report and 
Order and Declaratory Ruling, published at 73 FR 3197, January 17, 
2008, in which the Commission requires that TRS providers submit to the 
TRS Fund Administrator the following information annually for 
intrastate traditional TRS, STS, and CTS: (a) The per-minute 
compensation rate(s); (b) whether the rate applies to session minutes 
or conversation minutes; (c) the number of intrastate session minutes; 
and (d) the number of intrastate conversation minutes. Also, STS 
providers must file a report annually with the TRS Fund Administrator 
and the Commission on their specific outreach efforts directly 
attributable to the additional compensation approved by the Commission 
for STS outreach. See also 47 CFR 64.604(c)(5)(iii)(D).

    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for 
confidentiality with this collection of information.

broadcast stations and cable operators to charge political candidates 
the ``lowest unit charge of the station'' for the same class and amount 
of time for the same period, during the 45 days preceding a primary or 
runoff election and the 60 days preceding a general or special 
election.
    The information collection requirements contained in 47 CFR 73.1942 
require broadcast licensees and the requirements contained in 47 CFR 
76.206 require cable television systems to disclose any station 
practices offered to commercial advertisers that enhance the value of 
advertising spots and different classes of time (immediately 
preemptible, preemptible with notice, fixed, fire sale, and make good). 
These rule sections also require licensees and cable TV systems to 
calculate the lowest unit charge. Broadcast stations and cable systems 
are also required to review their advertising records throughout the 
election period to determine whether compliance with these rule 
sections require that candidates receive rebates or credits.
    The information collection requirements contained in 47 CFR 76.1611 
require cable systems to disclose to candidates information about 
rates, terms, conditions and all value-enhancing discount privileges 
offered to commercial advertisers.

    Needs and Uses: The Commission's rules require that broadcast 
auction participants submit exhibits disclosing ownership, bidding

participate in Commission auctions and to ensure that license winners 
are entitled to receive the new entrant bidding credit, if applicable.

Submission of engineering exhibits for non-table services enables the 
Commission to determine which applications are mutually exclusive.

applicants are free to request that materials or information submitted 
to the Commission be withheld from public inspection. (See 47 CFR 0.459 
of the Commission's Rules).
    Privacy Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Needs and Uses: On April 20, 2017, the Commission adopted a Report 
and Order in MB Docket No. 12-106, FCC 17-41, In the Matter of 
Noncommercial Educational Station Fundraising for Third-Party Non-
Profit Organizations. Under the Commission's existing rules, a 
noncommercial educational (NCE) broadcast station may not conduct 
fundraising activities to benefit any entity besides the station itself 
if the activities would substantially alter or suspend regular 
programming. The Report and Order relaxes the rules to allow NCE 
stations to spend up to one percent of their total annual airtime 
conducting on-air fundraising activities that interrupt regular 
programming for the benefit of third-party non-profit organizations. 
The Report and Order imposes the following information collection 
requirements on NCE stations:
    Audience Disclosure: The information collection requirements 
contained in 47 CFR 73.503(e)(1) requires that a noncommercial 
educational FM broadcast station that interrupts regular programming to 
conduct fundraising activities on behalf of third-party non-profit 
organizations must air a disclosure during such activities clearly 
stating that the fundraiser is not for the benefit of the station 
itself and identifying the entity for which it is fundraising. The 
information collection requirements contained in 47 CFR 73.621(f)(1) 
requires that a noncommercial educational TV broadcast station that 
interrupts regular programming to conduct fundraising activities on 
behalf of third-party non-profit organizations must air a disclosure 
during such activities clearly stating that the fundraiser is not for 
the benefit of the station itself and identifying the entity for which 
it is fundraising. The audience disclosure must be aired at the 
beginning and the end of each fundraising program and at least once 
during each hour in which the program is on the air.
    Retention of information on fundraising activities in local public 
inspection file: The information collection requirements contained in 
47 CFR 73.3527(e)(14) requires that each noncommercial educational FM 
broadcast station and noncommercial educational TV broadcast station 
that interrupts regular programming to conduct fundraising activities 
on behalf of a third-party non-profit organization must place in its 
local public inspection file, on a quarterly basis, the following 
information for each third-party fundraising program or activity: The 
date, time, and duration of the fundraiser; the type of fundraising 
activity; the name of the non-profit organization benefitted by the 
fundraiser; a brief description of the specific cause or project, if 
any, supported by the fundraiser; and, to the extent that the station 
participated in tallying or receiving any funds for the non-profit 
group, an approximation, to the nearest $10,000, of the total funds 
raised. The information for each calendar quarter is to be filed by the 
tenth day of the succeeding calendar quarter (e.g., January 10 for the 
quarter October-December, April 10 for the quarter January-March, 
etc.).
