means to request that they not receive
future unsolicited facsimile
advertisements from the sender; (2)
Established Business Relationship
Recordkeeping whereas the Junk Fax
Prevention Act provides that the sender,
e.g., a person, business, or a nonprofit/
institution, is prohibited from faxing an
unsolicited advertisement to a facsimile
machine unless the sender has an
‘‘established business relationship’’
(EBR) with the recipient; (3) Facsimile
Number Recordkeeping in which the
Junk Fax Prevention Act provides that
an EBR alone does not entitle a sender
to fax an advertisement to an individual
or business. The fax number must also
be provided voluntarily by the recipient;
and (4) Express Invitation or Permission
Recordkeeping where in the absence of
an EBR, the sender must obtain the prior
express invitation or permission from
the consumer before sending the
facsimile advertisement.
Section 227 of the Communications
Act of 1934, as amended, and the FCC’s
parallel rules restrict various
telemarketing and advertising activities.
The new Junk Fax/Telemarketing Form,
FCC Form 1088, is designed specifically
for complaints that involve (1) junk
faxes, (2) telemarketing (including donot-call violations), and (3) other related
issues such as prerecorded messages,
automatic telephone dialing systems,
and unsolicited commercial email
messages to wireless
telecommunications devices (cell
phones, pagers). FCC Form 1088 will
allow the Commission to collect
detailed information from consumers
concerning possible violations of the
Communications Act and the FCC’s fax
and telemarketing rules, which will
enable the Commission to investigate
rule violations more efficiently and to
initiate enforcement actions against
violators as appropriate. By collecting
their complaints and related
information in a single, comprehensive
template, the form will provide a
standardized way for consumers to file
complaints, thus eliminating the need
for further documentation or questions
from FCC investigators to determine
whether violations have occurred. This
ensures that consumers can present
their complaints in a way that
maximizes the FCC’s ability to take
enforcement actions against violators
and protects complainants and other
consumers from unlawful telemarketing
and faxing that is intrusive, uninvited,
and possibly costly. Furthermore, the
form’s format avoids the need for
complainants to compose narratives that
describe unwanted telemarketing or
faxing, and instead permits
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 211001
complainants to answer questions,
principally by simply selecting options
presented on the form, which should
reduce the time to file a complaint. The
form will allow the Commission to
gather and to review this information
more efficiently. The information the
form collects may ultimately become the
foundation for enforcement actions and/
or rulemaking proceedings, as
appropriate.
FCC Form 1088 asks for the
complainant’s contact information,
including name, address, telephone
number and e-mail address; then
presents a ‘‘gateway’’ question to
determine the general topic of the
complaint: (1) A fax or (2) a call or
message to a residential telephone,
business telephone, emergency
telephone or patient telephone, wireless
telecommunications device, or any
service for which the called party is
charged. After the complainant answers
this question, the form asks additional
questions geared to the specific type of
incident reported. The form poses
certain mandatory threshold questions
that must be answered for the
Commission to determine whether a
violation has occurred. It also presents
optional questions for complainants
who wish to provide the Commission
with more detailed information that a
complainant believes may assist the
Commission in investigating the
complaint. Finally, the form permits a
complainant to attest to the accuracy of
the information provided by ensuring
that the Commission has documentation
necessary for any possible enforcement
actions without further contacting the
complainant to obtain a sworn
declaration or other materials. The
Commission believes the new FCC Form
1088 to be a logical extension of its Junk
Fax and Telemarketing rulemaking
efforts.

opportunity to comment on the
following information collection, as
required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995, Public Law 104–13. An
agency may not conduct or sponsor a
collection of information unless it

Station.
Form Number: FCC Forms 302–TV,
340 and 349.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities; Not-for-profit
institutions; State, local or tribal
government.
Number of Respondents: 2,785.
Estimated Time per Response: 0.50–4
hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion
reporting requirement; Third party
disclosure requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits.
Total Annual Burden: 8,370 hours.
Total Annual Cost: $19,389,625.
Privacy Impact Assessment: No
impact(s).
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is no need for confidentiality.
Needs and Uses: On November 3,
2006, the Commission adopted the
Report and Order (‘‘R&O’’), Revision of
Procedures Governing Amendments to
FM Table of Allotments and Changes of
Community of License in the Radio
Broadcast Services, MB Docket 05–210,
FCC 06–163. In this R&O, the
Commission extended to
noncommercial educational FM
licensees and permittees the same
ability to request changes of community
of license by first come-first served
minor modification application as was
being granted to other commercial fullservice AM standard band and FM
licensees and permittees. Previously,
because a change in an NCE station’s
community of license was considered a
major modification in the station’s
facilities, an NCE applicant had to await
the opening of an announced
Noncommercial Educational (NCE) new
and major change application filing
window. Filing on a first-come firstserved basis will significantly reduce
the risk of application mutual
exclusivity. The application of this new
procedure to NCE stations was not
proposed in the Notice of Proposed Rule
Making in this proceeding, but the
Commission found it to be a logical
outgrowth of a proposal in that
proceeding based on comments
received, and accordingly adopted the
change in the R&O. Thus, the
Commission proposes to revise FCC
Form 340 to accommodate NCE
applicants who seek to change their
NCE station’s community of license by
minor modification application.
Specifically, the Commission revises
the FCC Form 340 to reflect the
requirement that NCE applicants
employing this procedure must include
VerDate Aug<31>2005
17:44 Jan 23, 2007
Jkt 211001
an exhibit demonstrating that the
proposed community of license change
comports with the fair, efficient and
equitable distribution of radio service
policies under Section 307(b) of the
Communications Act of 1934, as
amended. NCE applicants proposing a
change in community of license must
provide Section 307(b) information
demonstrating the merits of locating the
station in the new community, as
opposed to the current community of
license. This form, FCC Form 340, is the
only form being revised by the FCC’s
action in this information collection.
FCC Forms 302–TV and 349 remain
unchanged.
FCC Form 302–TV is used by
licensees and permittees of TV
broadcast stations to obtain a new or
modified station license and/or to notify
the Commission of certain changes in
the licensed facilities of these stations.
FCC 340 is used to apply for authority
to construct a new noncommercial
educational FM or TV station or to make
changes in the existing facilities of such
a station. The FCC 340 is to be used if
the broadcast station will operate on a
channel that is reserved exclusively for
noncommercial educational use and on
non-reserved channels if the applicant
proposes to build and operate a NCE
station.
FCC Form 349 is used to apply for
authority to construct a new FM
translator or FM booster broadcast
station, or to make changes in the
existing facilities of such stations. This
form also includes the third party
disclosure requirement of 47 CFR
73.3580 (3060–0031). Section 73.3580
requires local public notice in a
newspaper of general circulation of all
application filings for new or major
change in facilities. This notice must be
completed within 30 days of the
tendering of the application. This notice
must be published at least twice a week
for two consecutive weeks in a threeweek period. A copy of this notice must
be placed in the public inspection file
along with the application.
