    Needs and Uses: Licensees/permittees/applicants use FCC Form 346 to 
apply for authority to construct or make changes in a Low Power 
Television, TV Translator, or TV Booster broadcast station. Applicants 
are also subject to the third party disclosure requirements under 47 
CFR Section 73.3580. Within 30 days of tendering the application, the 
applicant is required to publish a notice in a newspaper of general 
circulation when filing all applications for new or major changes in 
facilities--the notice is to appear at least twice a week for two 
consecutive weeks in a three-week period. A copy of this notice must be 
maintained with the application. FCC staff use the data to determine if 
the applicant is qualified, meets basic statutory and treaty 
requirements, and will not cause interference to other authorized 
broadcast services. The FCC issued Public Notice DA 02-1087 on May 13, 
2002 to require electronic filing of FCC Form 346 unless the Commission 
issues a waiver to the filer.

    OMB Control Number: 3060-0937.

    Needs and Uses: The Report and Order in MM Docket No. 00-10 adopted 
rules for Class A LPTV broadcasters. Class A LPTV broadcasters are 
subject to the Commission's operating rules for full-service television 
stations. The Report and Order modified all pertinent 47 CFR Part 73 
rules to indicate their applicability to Class A LPTV licensees. The 
information collection requirements contained within this Report and 
Order ensure that the integrity of the TV spectrum is not compromised. 
These requirements also ensure that unacceptable interference is not 
caused to existing radio services, and that statutory requirements are 
met. The Part 73 rules ensure that the stations are operated in the 
public interest.

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary.
