writing within 30 days to any written
request by any person for the
identification of the signals carried on
its system in fulfillment of the

such connections, or with the
equipment and materials for such
connections, the operator shall notify
such subscribers of all broadcast
stations carried on the cable system
which cannot be viewed via cable
without a converter box and shall offer
to sell or lease such a converter box to
such subscribers. Such notification must
be provided by June 2, 1993, and
annually thereafter and to each new
subscriber upon initial installation. The
notice, which may be included in
routine billing statements, shall identify
the signals that are unavailable without

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 3060–1003.
OMB Approval Date: July 21, 2007.
Expiration Date: July 31, 2010.
Title: Communications Disaster
Information Reporting Systems (DIRS).
Form No.: Not applicable.
Estimated Annual Burden: 5,300
responses; 0.7 hours (42 minutes) per
response; 3,710 hours total per year.
Obligation to Respond: Voluntary.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
Because the information that
communications companies input to
DIRS is sensitive, for national security
and/or commercial reasons, DIRS filings
shall be treated as presumptively
confidential upon filing. The Federal
Communications Commission’s Public
Safety & Homeland Security Bureau
Launches Disaster Information
Reporting System, 72 FR 52879 (Sept.
17, 2007); The FCC’s Public Safety &
Homeland Security Bureau Launches
Disaster Information Reporting System
(DIRS), Public Notice, 22 FCC Rcd
16757 (PSHSB 2007). DIRS filings will,
however, be shared with the Department
of Homeland Security’s National
Communications System (NCS) on a
confidential basis.
Needs and Uses: This voluntary
information collection will better enable
the Commission to assist
communications companies with the
restoration of communications in times
of crisis, including in the aftermath of
terrorist attacks or natural disasters.
Through DIRS, wireless, wireline,
broadcast, and cable communications
providers can provide their emergency
contact information and report
communications infrastructure status
and situational awareness information
during times of crisis (e.g., status of
their communications equipment,
restoration efforts, and source and status
of their power supply). The Commission
will be able to use this information to
ensure that the public and public safety,
public health, and other emergency and
defense personnel have effective
communications services available to
them in the immediate aftermath of a
disaster.

service, and equipment. The report must
compare the prices charged by cable
operators subject to ‘‘effective
competition’’ and those not subject to
effective competition. The data from
these supplemental questions are
needed to complete this report.
The Commission determined that a
small number of additional questions
related to the cable industry’s carriage of
digital broadcast signals would be
needed to complete the 2007/2008
report on cable industry prices that will
be prepared later this year based on the
findings from the survey. The increased
burden to this information collection
represents the burden associated with
the supplemental questionnaire.
