continue operation or to adhere to the
required operating schedules set forth in
this section. In addition, the FCC must
be notified when normal operation is
resumed. No further authority is needed
for limited operation or discontinued
operation for a period not exceeding 30
days. Should events beyond the
licensees control make it impossible for
compliance within the required 30-day
time period, an informal written request
shall be submitted to the FCC requesting
the amount of additional time that the
licensee deems necessary. The data is
used by FCC staff to temporarily
authorize a limited operation or a
discontinuance of operation.

Needs and Uses: The 60-day Notice
for this collection was published as an
extension. Since that publication,
however, the U.S. Court of Appeals of
the District of Columbia Circuit issued
a decision and the Commission issued
an order affecting this collection which
requires that the collection now be
submitted as a revision. Specifically, on
June 1, 2007, the U.S. Court of Appeals
of the District of Columbia Circuit, in
Vonage Holdings Corp. v. FCC,
generally affirmed the 2006
Contribution Methodology Order. The
Court, however, vacated the preapproval requirement for traffic studies
submitted by interconnected VoIP
providers and the interim suspension of
the carrier’s carrier rule. Later, on June
15, 2007, the Commission released an
Order requiring interconnected VoIP
providers to contribute to the
Telecommunications Relay Service
(TRS) fund. The revised 2007 FCC 499–
A and 499–Q forms and instructions
contained in this submission
incorporate the changes required by the
Vonage Holdings Corp. Decision and
TRS Contribution Order.
The Federal Communications
Commission (Commission) requires
telecommunications carriers and other
providers of telecommunications to
contribute to the Universal Service
Fund (USF) and other funds.
Contribution revenue data, as well as
other information, are reported by
carriers and other providers of
telecommunications on FCC Forms 499–
A and 499–Q. Accompanying these
forms are instructions on how to report
revenue. This revision is necessary to
incorporate the changes required by the
Vonage Holdings Corp. Decision and
TRS Contribution Order and will go into
effect with the November 1, 2007
quarterly filing of FCC Form 499–Q.

Needs and Uses: On November 29,
1999, the Community Broadcasters
Protection Act of 1999 (CBPA), Pub. L.
No. 106–113, 113 Stat. Appendix I at
pp. 1501A–594–1501A–598 (1999),
codified at 47 U.S.C. 336(f), was
enacted. That legislation provided that a
low power television (LPTV) licensee
should be permitted to convert the
secondary status of its station to the new
Class A status, provided it can satisfy
certain statutorily-established criteria.
The CBPA directs that Class A licensees
be subject to the same license terms and
renewal standards as full-power
television licenses and that Class A
licensees be accorded primary status as
television broadcasters as long as they
continue to meet the requirements set
forth in the statute for a qualifying low
power station. The CBPA sets out
certain certification and application
procedures for LPTV licensees seeking
Class A designation, prescribes the
criteria LPTV licensees must meet to be
eligible for Class A licenses, and
outlines the interference protection
Class A applicants must provide to
analog, digital, LPTV and TV translator
stations.
The CBPA directs that Class A
stations must comply with the operating
requirements for full-service television
broadcast stations. Therefore, beginning
on the date of its application for a Class
A license and thereafter, a station must
be ‘‘in compliance’’ with the
Commission’s operating rules for fullservice television stations, contained in
47 CFR part 73.
