    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for 
confidentiality with this collection of information.
    Privacy Act Assessment: No impact(s).
    Needs and Uses: The information collection requirements approved 
under this collection are as follows:
    a. 47 CFR 74.787(a)(2)(iii) provides that mutually exclusive LPTV 
and TV translator applicants for companion digital stations will be 
afforded an opportunity to submit in writing to the Commission, 
settlements and engineering solutions to resolve their situation.
    b. 47 CFR 74.787(a)(3) provides that mutually exclusive applicants 
applying for construction permits for new digital stations and for 
major changes to existing stations in the LPTV service will similarly 
be allowed to submit in writing to the Commission, settlements and 
engineering solutions to rectify the problem.
    c. 47 CFR 74.787(a)(4) provides that mutually exclusive 
displacement relief applicants filing applications for digital LPTV and 
TV translator stations may be resolved by submitting settlements and 
engineering solutions in writing to the Commission.
    d. 47 CFR 74.787(a)(5)(v) states that a license for a digital-to-
digital replacement television translator will be issued only to a 
full-power television broadcast station licensee that demonstrates in 
its application a loss in the station's pre-auction digital service 
area as a result of the broadcast television spectrum incentive 
auction, including the repacking process, conducted under section 6403 
of the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 (Pub. L. 
112-96). ``Pre-auction digital service area'' is defined as the 
geographic area within the full power station's noise-limited contour 
(as set forth in Public Notice, DA 15-1296, released November 12, 
2015). The service area of the digital-to-digital replacement 
translator shall be limited to only the demonstrated loss area within 
the full power station's pre-auction digital service area, provided 
that an applicant for a digital-to-digital replacement television 
translator may propose a de minimis expansion of its full power pre-
auction digital service area upon demonstrating that the expansion is 
necessary to replace a loss in its pre-auction digital service area.
    e. 47 CFR 74.790(f) permits digital TV translator stations to 
originate emergency warnings over the air deemed necessary to protect 
and safeguard life and property, and to originate local public service 
announcements (PSAs) or messages seeking or acknowledging financial 
support necessary for its continued operation. These announcements or 
messages shall not exceed 30 seconds each, and be broadcast no more 
than once per hour.
    f. 47 CFR 74.790(e) requires that a digital TV translator station 
shall not retransmit the programs and signal of any TV broadcast or DTV 
broadcast station(s) without prior written consent of such station(s). 
A digital TV

[[Page 63506]]

translator operator electing to multiplex signals must negotiate 
arrangements and obtain written consent of involved DTV station 
licensee(s).
    g. 47 CFR 74.790(g) requires a digital LPTV station who transmits 
the programming of a TV broadcast or DTV broadcast station received 
prior written consent of the station whose signal is being transmitted.
    h. 47 CFR 74.794 mandates that digital LPTV and TV translator 
stations operating on TV channels 22-24, 32-36 and 38 with a digital 
transmitter not specifically FCC-certificated for the channel purchase 
and utilize a low pass filter or equivalent device rated by its 
manufacturer to have an attenuation of at least 85 dB in the GPS band. 
The licensees must retain with their station license a description of 
the low pass filter or equivalent device with the manufacturer's rating 
or a report of measurements by a qualified individual.
    i. 47 CFR 74.796(b)(5) requires digital LPTV or TV translator 
station licensees that modify their existing transmitter by use of a 
manufacturer-provided modification kit would need to purchase the kit 
and must notify the Commission upon completion of the transmitter 
modifications. In addition, a digital LPTV or TV translator station 
licensees that modify their existing transmitter and do not use a 
manufacturer-provided modification kit, but instead perform custom 
modification (those not related to installation of manufacturer-
supplied and FCC-certified equipment) must notify the Commission upon 
completion of the transmitter modifications and shall certify 
compliance with all applicable transmission system requirements.
    j. 47 CFR 74.796(b)(6) provides that operators who modify their 
existing transmitter by use of a manufacturer provided modification kit 
must maintain with the station's records for a period of not less than 
two years, and will make available to the Commission upon request, a 
description of the nature of the modifications, installation and test 
instructions, and other material provided by the manufacturer, the 
results of performance-tests and measurements on the modified 
transmitter, and copies of related correspondence with the Commission. 
In addition, digital LPTV and TV translator operators who custom modify 
their transmitter must maintain with the station's records for a period 
of not less than two years, and will make available to the Commission 
upon request, a description of the modifications performed and 
performance tests, the results of performance-tests and measurements on 
the modified transmitter, and copies of related correspondence with the 
Commission.
    k. Protection of Analog LPTV. In situations where protection of an 
existing analog LPTV or translator station without a frequency offset 
prevents acceptance of a proposed new or modified LPTV, TV translator, 
or Class A station, the Commission requires that the existing non-
offset station install at its expense offset equipment and notify the 
Commission that it has done so, or, alternatively, negotiate an 
interference agreement with the new station and notify the Commission 
of that agreement.
    l. 47 CFR 74.798 requires all stations in the low power television 
services to provide notice of their upcoming digital transition to 
their viewers.

    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: An assurance of 
confidentiality is not offered because this information collection does 
not require the collection of personally identifiable information from 
individuals.
    Privacy Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Needs and Uses: The rules adopted herein establish recordkeeping 
requirements for a large variety of entities, including small business 
entities. First, each Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) may 
designate a representative who shall be required to file a 
certification with the administrator of the PSAP registry that they are 
authorized to place numbers onto that registry. The designated PSAP 
representative shall provide contact information including the PSAP 
represented, name, title, address, telephone number and email address. 
Verified PSAPs shall be permitted to upload to the registry any PSAP 
telephone associated with the provision of emergency services or 
communications with other public safety agencies. On an annual basis 
designated PSAP representatives shall access the registry, review their 
numbers and remove any ineligible numbers from the registry. Second, an 
operator of automatic dialing equipment (OADE) is prohibited from 
contacting any number on the PSAP registry. Each OADE must register for 
access to the PSAP registry by providing contact information which 
includes name, business address, contact person, telephone number, 
email, and all outbound telephone numbers used to place autodialed 
calls. All such contact information must be updated within 30 days of 
any change. In addition, the OADE must certify that it is accessing the 
registry solely to prevent autodialed calls to numbers on the registry. 
An OADE must access and employ a version of the PSAP registry obtained 
from the registry administrator no more than 31 days prior to the date 
any call is made, and maintain record documenting this process. No 
person or entity may sell, rent, lease, purchase, share, or use the 
PSAP registry for any purpose expect to comply with our rules 
prohibiting contact with numbers on the registry.

    OMB Control Number: 3060-1216.

[[Page 63507]]

    Annual Cost Burden: $1,214,400.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for 
confidentiality with this collection.
    Needs and Uses: The information gathered in this collection will be 
used to require broadcasters transitioning to a new station following 
the Incentive Auction, or going off the air as a result of a winning 
bid in the Incentive Auction, to notify their viewers of the date the 
station will terminate operations on its pre-Auction channel by running 
public service announcements, and allow these broadcasters to inform 
MVPDs of their relinquishment or change in channel. It requires channel 
sharing agreements enter into by television broadcast licensees to 
contain certain provisions regarding access to facilities, financial 
obligations and to define each party's rights and responsibilities; the 
Commission will review each channel sharing agreement to ensure it 
comports with general rules and policies regarding license agreements. 
The provisions contained in this collection also require wireless 
licensees to notify low-power television and TV translator stations 
commence wireless operations and the likelihood of receiving harmful 
interference from the low power TV or TV translator station to such 
operations within the wireless licensee's licensed geographic service 
area. Finally, it requires license relinquishment stations and channel 
sharing stations to comply with notification and cancellation 
procedures as they terminate operations on their pre-Auction channel.
