Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection. Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities; not-for-profit institutions. Number of Respondents/Responses: 1,000 respondents; 120,000 responses. Estimated Hours per Response: 0.01– 0.33 hours. Frequency of Response: Recordkeeping requirement; third party disclosure requirement; on occasion reporting requirement. Obligation To Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. Statutory authority for this collection of information is contained in Section 154(i) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended. Total Annual Burden: 8,380 hours. Total Annual Costs: $200,000. Confidentiality: No need for confidentiality required. Privacy Impact Assessment(s): No impact(s). Needs and Uses: Congress has mandated that after February 17, 2009, full-power television broadcast stations must transmit only in digital signals, and may no longer transmit analog signals. On December 22, 2007, the Commission adopted a Report and Order, In the Matter of the Third Periodic Review of the Commission’s Rules and Policies Affecting the Conversion to Digital Television, MB Docket No. 07–91, FCC 07–228 (‘‘Third DTV Periodic Report and Order’’) to establish the rules, policies and procedures necessary to complete the nation’s transition to DTV. In the Report PO 00000 Frm 00019 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 33819 and Order, the Commission adopted rules to ensure that, by the February 17, 2009 transition date, all full-power television broadcast stations (1) cease analog broadcasting and (2) complete construction of, and begin operations on, their final, full-authorized posttransition (DTV) facility. The Commission recognized that broadcasters may need regulatory flexibility in order to achieve these goals. Accordingly, the Commission affords broadcasters the opportunity for regulatory flexibility, if necessary, to meet their DTV construction deadlines. The Commission, however, must also ensure that no consumers are left behind in the DTV transition. Therefore, the Commission requires broadcasters that choose to reduce or terminate TV service to comply with viewer notification requirements. Specifically, as a result of the Third DTV Periodic Report and Order, stations must comply with a viewer notification requirement (i.e., stations must notify viewers about their planned service reduction or termination) if: (1) The station will permanently reduce or terminate analog or pretransition digital service before the transition date; or (2) The station will not serve at least the same population that receives their current analog TV and DTV service after the transition date. Viewer notifications must occur every day on-air at least four times a day including at least once in primetime for the 30 days prior to the station’s termination of full, authorized analog service. These notifications must include: (1) The station’s call sign and community of license; (2) the fact that the station must delay the construction and operation of its post-transition (DTV) service or the fact that the station is planning to or has reduced or terminated its analog or digital operations before the transition date; (3) information about the nature, scope, and anticipated duration of the station’s post-transition service limitations; (4) what viewers can do to continue to receive the station, i.e., how and when the station’s digital signal can be received; (5) information about the availability of digital-to-analog converter boxes in their service area; and (6) the street address, e-mail address (if available), and phone number of the station where viewers may register comments or request information.

OMB Approval Date: 11/26/2007. Expiration Date: 11/30/2010. Title: Rules and Regulations Implementing the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991, Order, CG Docket No. 02–278. Form No.: N/A. Estimated Annual Burden: 135,607,383 responses; .004 (15 seconds) to 3 hours per response; 708,806 total annual hourly burden. Needs and Uses: The reporting requirements included under OMB Control Number 3060–0519 enable the Commission to gather information regarding violations of the Do-Not-Call Implementation Act (Do-Not-Call Act). If the information collection was not conducted, the Commission would be unable to track and enforce violations of the Do-Not-Call Act. The Do-Not-Call rules provide consumers with several options for avoiding most unwanted telephone solicitations. The National Do-Not-Call Registry supplemented company-specific do-notcall rules, though consumers may give specific companies permission to call them through an express written agreement even if such consumers have registered with the National Do-Not-Call Registry. Nonprofit organizations, companies with whom consumers have an established business relationship, VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:18 Jun 12, 2008 Jkt 214001 and calls to persons with whom the telemarketer has a personal relationship are exempt from the do-not-call requirements.

Estimated Annual Burden: 5,339,038 responses; .017 to 3 hours per response; 172,631 total annual hourly burden. Needs and Uses: Pursuant to the information collection requirements included under OMB Control Number 3060–0653, aggregators making telephones available to the public or transient users of their premises under 47 U.S.C. 226(c)(1)(A) and 47 CFR 64.703(b) must post in writing, on or near such phones, information about pre-subscribed operator services, rates, carrier access, and the FCC address to which consumers may direct complaints. Section 64.703(c) of the Commission’s rules establishes a 30-day outer limit for updating the posted consumer information when an aggregator has changed the presubscribed operator service provider (OSP). Consumers will use this information to determine whether they wish to use the services of the identified OSP. OMB Control No.: 3060–0833. OMB Approval Date: 04/08/2008. Expiration Date: 04/30/2011. Title: Implementation of Section 255 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996: Complaint Filings. Form No.: N/A. Estimated Annual Burden: 85,154 responses; 0.25 to 5 hours per response; 80,184 total annual hourly burden. Needs and Uses: The information collection requirements included under this OMB Control Number 3060–0833 govern the filing of complaints with the Commission as part of the implementation of section 255 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, which seeks to ensure that telecommunications equipment and services are available to all Americans, including those individuals with disabilities. As with any complaint procedure, a certain number of regulatory and information burdens are necessary to ensure compliance with FCC rules. The information collection requirements also give full effect to the accessibility policies embodied in section 255, by requiring telecommunications equipment manufacturers and service providers to make end-user product documentation available in alternate formats, including providing contact PO 00000 Frm 00020 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 information to request such documentation, and by requiring them to demonstrate how they considered accessibility during product development, when no other affirmative defenses to a complaint are pertinent. OMB Control No.: 3060–1043. OMB Approval Date: 03/24/2008. Expiration Date: 03/31/2011. Title: Telecommunications Relay Services and Speech-to-Speech Services for Individuals with Hearing and Speech Disabilities, Report and Order, CG Docket No. 03–123; FCC 04–137. Form No.: N/A. Estimated Annual Burden: 18 responses; 10 hours per response; 180 total annual hourly burden. Needs and Uses: The reporting requirements included under OMB Control Number 3060–1043 enable the Commission to collect waiver reports from Video Relay Service (VRS) and Internet-Protocol Relay (IP Relay) providers requesting waivers from certain Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS) mandatory minimum standards. On June 30, 2004, the Commission released a Report and Order and Order on Reconsideration in Telecommunications Relay Services and Speech-to-Speech Services for Individuals with Hearing and Speech Disabilities, FCC 04–137. In the Report and Order, the Commission granted VRS and IP Relay providers waivers of the following TRS mandatory minimum requirements, amongst others: (1) 47 CFR 64.604(a)(3)—types of calls that must be handled; (2) 47 CFR 64.604(a)(4)—emergency call handling; and (3) 47 CFR 64.604(b)(3)—equal access to interexchange carriers. These waivers are granted provided that VRS and IP Relay providers submit annual reports to the Commission, in a narrative form, detailing: (1) The provider’s plan or general approach to meet the waived standards; (2) any additional costs that would be required to meet the standards; (3) the development of any new technology that may affect the particular waivers; (4) the progress made by the provider to meet the standards; (5) the specific steps taken to resolve any technical problems that prohibit the provider from meeting the standards; and (6) any other factors relevant to whether the waiver should continue in effect. OMB Control No.: 3060–1078. OMB Approval Date: 11/20/2007. Expiration Date: 11/30/2010. Title: Rules and Regulations Implementing the Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act of 2003 (CAN–SPAM Act); CG Docket No. 04–53. Form No.: N/A.

2007, the Commission adopted a Report and Order, In the Matter of the 
Third Periodic Review of the Commission's Rules and Policies Affecting 
the Conversion to Digital Television, MB Docket No. 07-91, FCC 07-228 
(``Third DTV Periodic Report and Order'') to establish the rules, 
policies and procedures necessary to complete the nation's transition 
to DTV. In the Report and Order, the Commission adopted rules to ensure 
that, by the February 17, 2009 transition date, all full-power 
television broadcast stations (1) cease analog broadcasting and (2) 
complete construction of, and begin operations on, their final, full-
