Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 36 / Thursday, February 24, 2005 / Notices
Frequency of Response: On occasion
and annual reporting requirements.
Total Annual Burden: 66,120 hours.
Total Annual Cost: N/A.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
Needs and Uses: The Commission is
seeking extension (no change) to this
information collection. The Commission
is submitting this information collection
to the OMB in order to obtain the full
three-year clearance.
Part 61 of the Commission’s rules
establishes procedures for filing tariffs
which contain the charges, practices,
and regulations of the common carriers,
supporting economic data and other
related documents. The supporting data
must conform to other parts of the Rules
such as Parts 36 and 69. Part 61 also
prescribes the framework for the initial
establishment of and subsequent
revisions to tariffs. Tariffs that do not
conform to Part 61 may be required to
post their schedules or rates and
regulations. The information collected
through a carrier’s tariff is used by the
Commission to determine whether
services offered are just and reasonable
as the Act requires.
The tariffs and any supporting
documentation are examined in order to
determine if the services are offered in
a just and reasonable manner.
Federal Communications Commission.
Marlene H. Dortch,
Secretary.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB
Control Number: 3060–0185.
Title: Section 73.3613, Filing of
Contracts.
Form Number: Not applicable.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities; Not-for-profit
institutions.
Number of Respondents: 2,300.
Estimated Time per Response: 0.25 to
0.5 hours.
Frequency of Response:
Recordkeeping requirement; On
occasion reporting requirement; Third
party disclosure requirement.
Total Annual Burden: 950 hours.
Total Annual Cost: $80,000.
Privacy Impact Assessment: No
impact(s).
Needs and Uses: In June 2003, the
Commission adopted changes to 47 CFR
73.3613 and the FCC’s attribution rules.
As a result, radio stations located in
Arbitron radio markets must now file
agreements for the sale of advertising
time (i.e., ‘‘Joint Sales Agreements’’ or
‘‘JSAs’’) that result in attribution under
the Commission’s multiple ownership
rules. 47 CFR 73.3613 requires licensees
of television and radio broadcast
stations to file with the Commission: (a)
Contracts relating to ownership or
control and personnel; and (b) time
PO 00000
Frm 00048
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
brokerage agreements that result in
arrangements being counted under the
Commission’s multiple ownership rules.
Television stations also must file
network affiliation agreements. This
section also requires certain contracts to
be retained at the station and made
available for inspection by the
Commission upon request.
On June 24, 2004, the Court issued an
Opinion and Judgment (‘‘Remand
Order’’) in which it upheld certain
aspects of the new ownership rules,
including the attribution of JSAs among
radio stations, while requiring further
explanation for certain other aspects of
the new rules. The Court stated that its
prior stay of the new rules would
remain in effect pending the outcome of
the remand proceeding. The
Commission has not yet responded to
the Remand Order, but in the meantime
the Commission filed a petition for
rehearing requesting that the Court lift
the stay partially—i.e., with respect to
the radio ownership and JSA attribution
rules which the Court’s Remand Order
upheld. On September 3, 2004, the
Court issued an Order (‘‘Rehearing
Order’’) which partially granted the
Commission’s petition for rehearing,
thus lifting the stay of the revised radio
ownership and JSA attribution rules. As
a result of the Rehearing Order, the
Commission’s revised radio ownership
and JSA attribution rules took effect on
September 3, 2004. Implementation of
the new radio ownership and JSA
attribution rules, as required by the
Rehearing Order, triggers the
requirement for certain licensees to
begin filing JSAs.
