Information Collection Being Reviewed by the Federal 
Communications Commission Under Delegated Authority

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), as part of its 
continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, invites the general 
public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment 
on the following information collection, as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995. Comments are requested concerning whether 
the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper 
performance of the functions of the Commission, including whether the 
information shall have practical utility; the accuracy of the 
Commission's burden estimate; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 
clarity of the information collected; ways to minimize the burden of 
the collection of information on the respondents, including the use of 
automated collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology; and ways to further reduce the information collection 
burden on small business concerns with fewer than 25 employees.
    The FCC may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information 
unless it displays a currently valid control number. No person shall be 
subject to any penalty for failing to comply with a collection of 
information subject to the PRA that does not display a valid Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) control number.

DATES: Written PRA comments should be submitted on or before July 29, 
2013. If you anticipate that you will be submitting comments, but find 
it difficult to do so within the period of time allowed by this notice, 
you should advise the contact listed below as soon as possible.

ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to the Federal Communications 
Commission via email to [email protected] and [email protected].

Commission permits broadcasters

[[Page 32252]]

to agree to proposed TV facilities that do not conform to the allotted 
parameters, even though they might be affected by potential new 
interference. The Commission will consider granting applications on the 
basis of interference agreements if it finds that such grants will 
serve the public interest. These agreements must be signed by all 
parties to the agreement. In addition, the Commission needs the 
following information to enable such public interest determinations: A 
list of parties predicted to receive additional interference from the 
proposed facility; a showing as to why a grant based on the agreements 
would serve the public interest; and technical studies depicting the 
additional interference. The technical showings and interference 
agreements will be used by FCC staff to determine if the public 
interest would be served by the grant of the application and to ensure 
that the proposed facilities will not result in additional 
interference.
