costs for the respondents are as follows:
    OMB Control Number: 3060-1218.
    OMB Approval Date: May 23, 2016.
    OMB Expiration Date: May 31, 2019.
    Title: Carriage of Digital Television Broadcast Signals: Amendment 
to Part 76 of the Commission's Rules
    Respondents: Business or other for profit entities.
    Number of Respondents/Responses: 11 respondents; 11 responses.

    Frequency of Response: Third party disclosure requirement and

    Total Annual Burden: 3 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: None.
    Obligation To Respond: Required in order to monitor regulatory

contained in sections 4, 303, 614, and 615 of the Communications Act of 
1934, as amended.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for 
confidentiality with this collection of information.
    Privacy Act Assessment: No impact(s).
    Needs and Uses: The information collection imposes a notification 
requirement on certain small cable systems that become ineligible for 
exemption from the requirement to carry high definition broadcast 
signals in HD (adopted in FCC 15-65). In particular, the information 
collection requires that, beginning December 12, 2016, at the time a 
small cable system utilizing the HD carriage exemption offers any 
programming in HD, the system must give notice that it is offering HD 
programming to all broadcast stations in its market that are carried on 
its system. Cable operators also must keep records of such 
notification. This information collection requirement allows affected 
broadcast stations to monitor compliance with the requirement that 
cable operators transmit high definition broadcast signals in HD.
