[OMB 3060-0669, OMB 3060-0788; FR ID 40916]


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

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, 
and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), the 
Federal Communications Commission (FCC or Commission) invites the 
general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to 
comment on the following information collections. 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 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.

DATES: Written PRA comments should be submitted on or before October 4, 
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 contact listed below as soon as possible.

ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to Cathy Williams, FCC, via email to 
[email protected] and to [email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For additional information about the 
information collection, contact Cathy Williams at (202) 418-2918.

advertise rates that include all costs and fees. Cable systems that 
cover multiple franchise areas having differing franchise fees or other 
franchise costs, different channel line-ups, or different rate 
structures may advertise a complete range of fees without specific 
identification of the rate for each individual area. In such 
circumstances, the operator may advertise a ``fee plus'' rate that 
indicates the core rate plus the range of possible additions, depending 
on the particular location of the subscriber.

    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for 
confidentiality required with this collection of information.
    Privacy Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Needs and Uses: The information collection requirements contained 
in 47 CFR 73.623 requires applicants to submit a technical showing to 
establish that their proposed facilities will not result in additional 
interference to TV broadcast operations. The Commission permits 
broadcasters 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.
