Information Collection Being Reviewed by the Federal 
Communications Commission

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 comments shall be submitted on or before January 9, 
2023. 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.

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

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

    Total Annual Burden: 20,610 hours.

    Nature of Response: Required to obtain or retain benefits. The 
statutory authority for this information collection is contained in 
Section 4(i) and 340 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended.
    Needs and Uses: The information collection requirements contained 
in 47 CFR 76.54(b) state significant viewing in a cable television or 
satellite community for signals not shown as significantly viewed under 
47 CFR 76.54(a) or (d) may be demonstrated by an independent 
professional audience survey of over-the-air television homes that 
covers at least two weekly periods separated by at least thirty days 
but no more than one of which shall be a week between the months of 
April and September. If two surveys are taken, they shall include 
samples sufficient to assure that the combined surveys result in an 
average figure at least one standard error above the required viewing 
level.
    The information collection requirements contained in 47 CFR 
76.54(c) are used to notify interested parties, including licensees or 
permittees of television broadcast stations, about audience surveys 
that are being conducted by an organization to demonstrate that a 
particular broadcast station is eligible for significantly viewed 
status under the Commission's rules. The notifications provide 
interested parties with an opportunity to review survey methodologies 
and file objections.
    Lastly, 47 CFR 76.54(e) and (f), are used to notify television 
broadcast stations about the retransmission of significantly viewed 
signals by a satellite carrier into these stations' local market.

Federal Communications Commission.
