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 Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
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 OMB control number.

2021. 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 contacts below as soon as possible.

[email protected] and to [email protected].

    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for

    Needs and Uses: Market modification allows the Commission to modify 
the local television market of a particular commercial television 
broadcast station to enable commercial television stations, cable 
operators and satellite carriers to better serve the interests of local 
communities. Market modification provides a means to avoid rigid 
adherence to DMA designations and to promote consumer access to in-
state and other relevant television programming. Section 338(l) of the 
Communications Act (the satellite market modification provision) and 
Section 614(h)(1)(C) of the Communications Act (the corresponding cable 
provision) permit the Commission to add communities to or delete 
communities from a station's local television market following a 
written request. Furthermore, the Commission may determine that 
particular communities are part of more than one television market.
