SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission has received Office of

regarding broadcast ownership. Therefore, the Commission announces that 
OMB 3060-0027 (FCC Form 301), OMB 3060-0031 (FCC Form 314), OMB 3060-
0032 (FCC Form 315), and OMB 3060-1040 (certain non-form filings) are

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Peter H. Doyle or Nina Shafran, Audio 
Division, 202-418-2700; Barbara Kreisman or Jim Brown, Video Division, 
202-418-1600.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 1. On July 2, 2003, the Federal 
Communications Commission released the Report and Order in the above-
referenced MB/MM dockets revising its broadcast ownership rules 
(published at 68 FR 46286, August 5, 2003). Certain FCC application 
forms, amendments that are filed using such forms, and certain non-form 
filing requirements were revised pursuant to changes adopted in the 
Report and Order. Pursuant to the ``emergency processing'' provisions 
of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (5 CFR 1320.13), the Commission 
has received OMB approval of the revisions to the following application 
forms: Application for Construction Permit for Commercial Broadcast 
Station, FCC Form 301 (OMB Control No. 3060-0027); Application for 
Consent to Assignment of Broadcast Station Construction Permit or 
License, FCC Form 314 (OMB Control No. 3060-0031); and Application for 
Consent to Transfer Control of Entity Holding Broadcast Station 
Construction Permit or License, FCC Form 315 (OMB Control No. 3060-
0032). In conjunction with its approval of the revised forms, OMB also 
approved the information collection requirements associated with 
amendments to applications on Forms 301, 314, and 315 (see OMB Control 
No. cited above for each form). Accordingly, the revised forms, 
including amendments that are filed using these forms, are now 
effective.
    2. OMB also approved certain non-form filings as follows: current 
TV licensees' requests for temporary waiver or extension of an existing 
waiver, or amendment to a pending waiver request, of the local TV 
ownership rule, as well as current licensees' filings related to their 
existing conditional waivers of the previous one-to-a-market cross-
ownership rule. Accordingly, the information collections contained in 
these non-form, waiver-related filings, titled ``Broadcast Ownership 
Rules, R&O in MB Docket No. 02-277 and MM Docket Nos. 01-235, 01-317 
and 00-244 (OMB Control No. 3060-1040),'' are now effective.
    3. Pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, an agency may 
not conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless it displays a 
currently valid OMB control number. Notwithstanding any other 
provisions of law, no person shall be subject to any penalty for 
failing to comply with a collection of information subject to the 
Paperwork Reduction Act that does not display a valid control number. 
Questions concerning the OMB control numbers and expiration dates 
should be directed to Les Smith, Federal Communications Commission, 
(202) 418-0217.

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary.
