    Needs and Uses: Market modification allows the Commission to modify 
the local television market of a particular commercial television 
broadcast station to enable commercial television stations, cable 
operators and satellite carriers to better serve the interests of local 
communities. Market modification provides a means to avoid rigid 
adherence to DMA designations and to promote consumer access to in-
state and other relevant television programming. Section 338(l) of the 
Communications Act (the satellite market modification provision) and 
Section 614(h)(1)(C) of the Communications Act (the corresponding cable 
provision) permit the Commission to add communities to or delete 
communities from a station's local television market following a 
written request. Furthermore, the Commission may determine that 
particular communities are part of more than one television market.

    OMB Control Number: 3060-1034.
    Title: Digital Audio Broadcasting Systems and their Impact on the 
Terrestrial Radio Broadcast Service; Digital Notification Form, FCC

    Estimated Time per Response: 1 hour-8 hours.
    Total Annual Burden: 450 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $192,000.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for 
confidentiality with this collection of information.
    Privacy Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Needs and Uses: On January 29, 2010, the Commission released the 
Order, Digital Audio Broadcasting Systems and Their Impact on the 
Terrestrial Radio Broadcast Service (Order), DA 10-208, MM Docket 99-
325. The Order allowed: (1) Eligible authorized FM stations to commence 
operation of FM digital facilities with digital effective radiated 
power (ERP) up to-14 dBc upon notice to the Commission on Form 335 (the 
licensee of a super-powered FM station must file an informal request 
for any increase in the station's FM Digital ERP). (2) Licensees to 
submit an application to the Media Bureau, in the form of an informal 
request, for any increase in FM Digital ERP beyond 6 dB. (3) Licensees 
submitting such a request must use a simplified method set forth in the 
Order to determine the proponent station's maximum permissible FM 
Digital ERP. (4) In situations where the simplified method is not 
applicable due to unusual terrain or other environmental or technical 
considerations or when it produces anomalous FM Digital ERP results, 
the Bureau will accept applications for FM Digital ERP in excess of -14 
dBc on a case-by-case basis when accompanied by a detailed showing 
containing a complete explanation of the prediction methodology used as 
well as data, maps and sample calculations. These information 
collection requirements have not changed since they were last approved 
by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). These information 
collection requirements are also a part of this collection and remain 
unchanged:
    47 CFR 73.404(b) states in situations where interference to other 
stations is anticipated or actually occurs, AM licensees may, upon 
notification to the Commission, reduce the power of the primary Digital 
Audio Broadcasting (DAB) sidebands by up to 6 dB. Any greater reduction 
of sideband power requires prior authority from the Commission via the 
filing of a request for special temporary authority or an informal 
letter request for modification of license.
    47 CFR 73.404(e) states licensees (commercial and noncommercial AM 
and FM radio stations) must provide notification to the Commission in 
Washington, DC, within 10 days of commencing in-band, on channel (IBOC) 
digital operation. The notification must include the following 
information: (1) Call sign and facility identification number of the 
station; (2) date on which IBOC operation commenced; (3) certification 
that the IBOC DAB facilities conform to permissible hybrid 
specifications; (4) name and telephone number of a technical 
representative the Commission can call in the event of interference; 
(5) FM digital effective radiated power used and certification that the 
FM analog effective radiated power remains as authorized; (6) 
transmitter power output; if separate analog and digital transmitters 
are used, the power output for each transmitter; (7) if applicable, any 
reduction in an AM station's primary digital carriers; (8) if 
applicable, the geographic coordinates, elevation data, and license 
file number of the auxiliary antenna employed by an FM station as a 
separate digital antenna; (9) if applicable, for FM systems employing 
interleaved antenna bays, a certification that adequate filtering and/
or isolation equipment has been installed to prevent spurious emissions 
in excess of the limits specified in Sec.  73.317; (10) a certification 
that the operation will not cause human exposure to levels of radio 
frequency radiation in excess of the limits specified in Sec.  1.1310 
of the Commission's rules and is therefore categorically excluded from 
environmental processing pursuant to Sec.  1.1306(b). Any station that 
cannot certify compliance must submit an environmental assessment 
(``EA'') pursuant to Sec.  1.1311 and may not commence IBOC operation 
until such EA is ruled upon by the Commission.
