The data are also needed by the Bureau of Labor Statistics to report on the number and rate of occupational injuries and illnesses in the country. The data also provides information to employers and employees on the kinds of injuries and illnesses occurring in the workplace and their related hazards. Increased employer awareness should result in the identification and voluntary correction of hazardous workplace conditions. Likewise, employees who are provided information on injuries and illnesses will be more likely to follow safe work practices and report workplace hazards. This would generally raise the overall level of safety and health in the workplace. OSHA currently has approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for information collection requirements contained in 29 CFR 1904. That approval will expire on February 29, 2008, unless OSHA applies for an extension of the OMB approval. This notice initiates the process for OSHA to request an extension of the current OMB approval. This notice also solicits public comment on OSHA’s existing paperwork burden estimates from those interested parties and seeks public response to several questions related to the development of OSHA’s estimation. Interested parties are requested to review OSHA’s estimates, which are based upon the most current data available, and to comment on their accuracy or appropriateness in today’s workplace situation. rfrederick on PROD1PC67 with NOTICES II.

Specialty station status is determined by reference to the former regulations of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) which defined a specialty station as ‘‘a commercial television broadcast station that generally carries foreign–language, religious, and/or automated programming in one–third of the hours of an average broadcast week and one– third of the weekly prime–time hours.’’ 47 CFR 76.5(kk) (1981). The FCC no longer determines whether a station qualifies as a specialty station; however, the Copyright Office updates the list periodically, because the list remains relevant to the cable statutory license scheme. The Copyright Office published its first specialty station list in 1990 under a procedure which allowed the owner of the station to file an affidavit with the Office attesting to the fact that the station’s programming comports with the 1981 FCC definition, and hence, qualifies it as a specialty station. 55 FR 40021 (October 1, 1990). The Office agreed at that time to periodically update the list. Accordingly, on February 8, 2007, the Copyright Office published a notice asking the owner, or a valid agent of the owner, to file a sworn affidavit with the Copyright Office stating that the station’s programming satisfies the FCC’s former requirements for specialty station status. 72 FR 6008 (February 8, 2007). On June 15, 2007, the Office published a notice listing the sixty–one broadcast stations for which the owner or licensee of the station had filed the requested affidavit. 72 FR 33251 (June 15, 2007). In the notice, the Office also requested that any party objecting to any claim to specialty station status submit comments to the Office stating his or her objections.

Cable Statutory License: Specialty Station List

AGENCY: Copyright Office, Library of Congress.

ACTION: Notice of final specialty station list.

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

SUMMARY: The Copyright Office is publishing a final list of stations 
listed in affidavits sent to the Copyright Office in which the owner or 
licensee of the station attests that the station qualifies as a 
specialty station in accordance with the Federal Communications 
Commission`s (FCC) definition of specialty station in effect on June 
24, 1981. The list shall be used to verify the specialty station status 
of those stations identified as such by cable systems on their semi-
annual statements of account.

EFFECTIVE DATE: January 1, 2008

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tanya M. Sandros, General Counsel, 
Copyright GC/I&R, P.O. Box 70400, Washington, DC 20024. Telephone: 
(202) 707-8380. Telefax: (202) 252-3423.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the cable statutory license, section 
111 of title 17, United States Code, a cable operator may carry the 
signal of a television station classified as a specialty station at the 
base rate rather than at the higher 3.75% rate that is incurred for the 
carriage of a non-permitted signal. 37 CFR 256.2(c). Specialty station 
status is determined by reference to the former regulations of the 
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) which defined a specialty 
station as ``a commercial television broadcast station that generally 
carries foreign-language, religious, and/or automated programming in 
one-third of the hours of an average broadcast week and one-third of 
the weekly prime-time hours.'' 47 CFR 76.5(kk) (1981). The FCC no 
longer determines whether a station qualifies as a specialty station; 
however, the Copyright Office updates the list periodically, because 
the list remains relevant to the cable statutory license scheme.
    The Copyright Office published its first specialty station list in 
1990 under a procedure which allowed the owner of the station to file 
an affidavit with the Office attesting to the fact that the station's 
programming comports with the 1981 FCC definition, and hence, qualifies 
it as a specialty station. 55 FR 40021 (October 1, 1990). The Office 
agreed at that time to periodically update the list.
    Accordingly, on February 8, 2007, the Copyright Office published a 
notice asking the owner, or a valid agent of the owner, to file a sworn 
affidavit with the Copyright Office stating that the station's 
programming satisfies the FCC's former requirements for specialty 
station status. 72 FR 6008 (February 8, 2007).
    On June 15, 2007, the Office published a notice listing the sixty-
one broadcast stations for which the owner or licensee of the station 
had filed the requested affidavit. 72 FR 33251 (June 15, 2007). In the 
notice, the Office also requested that any party objecting to any claim 
to specialty station status submit comments to the Office stating his 
or her objections. No comments or objections were filed with the 
Office.
    Since the publication of the initial list, the Office has received 
one additional affidavit, attesting to the specialty station status of 
the identified station. Because this station was not listed in the 
earlier published list, the station has been identified with an 
asterisk (*) in the final list. Any interested party may file an 
objection to a newly listed station or to any other late-filed 
affidavit, and the objection shall be filed together with the 
corresponding affidavit. All affidavits and related comments or 
objections shall be kept on file in the Licensing Division of the 
Copyright Office.
    The final list of specialty stations, published herein, shall be 
effective January 1, 2008, for the accounting period 2008/1 and 
thereafter. Copyright Office licensing examiners shall refer to the 
final annotated list in examining a statement of account where a cable 
system operator claims specialty station status for a particular 
station. If a cable system operator claims specialty station status for 
a station not on the published final list, the examiner determines 
whether the owner of the station has filed an affidavit since 
publication of the list.
