letters, location, the intended service, and a description of the 
method whereby any necessary power reduction will be achieved. Upon 
submission of this information, operation may begin without further 
authority. The FCC staff uses the letter to maintain complete technical 
information about the station to ensure that the licensee is in full 
compliance with the Commission's rules and will not cause interference 
to other stations.

    OMB Control Number: 3060-0474.

booster station licensees to notify the Commission of its intent to 
permanently discontinue operations and to forward the station license 
to the FCC for cancellation. FCC staff uses this data to keep records 
up-to-date. These notifications inform FCC staff that frequencies are 
not being used for a specified amount of time and that frequencies have

    Needs and Uses: 47 CFR 76.59 states the Commission, following a 
written request from a broadcast station or a cable system, may deem 
that the television market of a particular commercial television 
broadcast station should include additional communities within its 
television market or exclude communities from such station's television 
market. In this respect, communities may be considered part of more 
than one television market.
    On May 26, 1999, the Commission released an Order on 
Reconsideration and Second Report and Order (``Order''), which, among 
other things, established final rules for procedures for refining the 
market modification process by adopting a standardized evidence 
approach to the market modification process. The Order also made 
various changes to 47 CFR part 76, which concern the definitions 
applicable to the must carry rules and the specific information 
submission requirements for the market modification process.

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary.
