SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    1. On May 20, 2010, the Commission published in the Federal 
Register, the summary of a Report and Order and Second Report and 
Order, which stated that upon OMB approval, it would publish in the 
Federal Register a document announcing the effective date. On September 
26, 2011 the OMB approved, for a period of three years, the information 
collection requirements contained in sections 25.202(h)(3), 
25.214(d)(2), 27.14(p)(7), 27.53(a)(10), 27.72(b), 27.72(c), 27.73(a), 
and 27.73(b) of the Commission's rules.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The summary of the Report and Order and Second Report and 
Order, published August 2, 2010, did not list 47 CFR 25.202(h)(3), 
47 CFR 25.214(d)(2), and 47 CFR 27.53(a)(10) among the rules 
requiring OMB approval. However, because 47 CFR 25.202(h)(3), 
25.214(d)(2), and 27.53(a)(10) contain information collection 
requirements that can not be enforced without OMB approval, the 
Commission sought OMB clearance for these rules.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    2. On September 26, 2011, OMB approved the public information 
collection associated with these rule changes under OMB Control No. 
3060-1159.

Federal Communications Commission.
