FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS
COMMISSION
Notice of Public Information
Collection(s) Approved by the Office of
Management and Budget
December 16, 2008.
SUMMARY: The Federal Communications
Commission has received Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)
approval for the following public
information collection(s) pursuant to the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501–3520). An agency may not
conduct or sponsor a collection of
information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number,
and no person is required to respond to
a collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number. Comments concerning the
accuracy of the burden estimate(s) and
any suggestions for reducing the burden
should be directed to the person listed
in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT section below.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For
additional information contact Cathy
Williams, Performance and Evaluation
Records Management Division, Office of
the Managing Director, at (202) 418–
2918 or at Cathy.Williams@fcc.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 3060–0896.
OMB Approval Date: November 28,
2008.
Expiration Date: November 30, 2011.
Title: Broadcast Auction Form

Form Number: Not applicable.
Estimated Annual Burden: 7,605
responses; 0.5–2 hours per response;
8,628 burden hours per year.

Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 246 / Monday, December 22, 2008 / Notices
Annual Cost Burden: $10,163,100.
Obligation To Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. The statutory
authority for this collection of
information is contained in 154(i) and
309 of the Communications Act of 1934,
as amended.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is no need for confidentiality with
this collection of information.
Needs and Uses: On December 18,
2007, the Commission adopted a Report
and Order and Third Further Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking (‘‘the Diversity
Order’’) in MB Docket Nos. 07–294; 06–
121; 02–277; 04–228, MM Docket Nos.
01–235; 01–317; 00–244; FCC 07–217,
which expands opportunities for
participation in the broadcasting
industry by new entrants and small
businesses, including minority and
women-owned businesses.
Currently, the media interests held by
an individual or company with an
equity and/or debt interest in an auction
applicant are attributed to that
applicant, for purposes of determining
its eligibility for the new entrant
bidding credit, if the equity and debt
interests exceed 33 percent of the total
asset value of the applicant. In order to
make it easier for small businesses and
new entrants to acquire broadcast
licenses, and acquire the capital to
compete in the marketplace with better
financed companies, in the Diversity
Order the Commission relaxed the rule
standard, so to allow for higher
investment opportunities in entities
meeting the definition of ‘‘eligible
entities.’’ An ‘‘eligible entity’’ is defined
as an entity that would qualify as a
small business consistent with the
Small Business Administration (‘‘SBA’’)
standards for its industry grouping,
based on revenue.
Pursuant to the Diversity Order, the
Commission will now allow the holder
of an equity or debt interest in the
applicant to exceed the above-noted 33
percent threshold without triggering
attribution provided: (1) The combined
equity or debt in the ‘‘eligible entity’’ is
less than 50 percent, or (2) the total debt
in the ‘‘eligible entity’’ does not exceed
80 percent and the interest holder does
not hold any option to acquire an
additional interest in the ‘‘eligible
entity.’’
Consistent with actions taken by the
Commission in the Diversity Order, a
new question has been added to the new
entrant bidding credit section of the
broadcast auction application form. It
simply requires applicants to make
explicit any claim that they are ‘‘eligible
entities,’’ as a basis for claiming a
bidding credit. The question states:
‘‘Does the applicant claim to be an
VerDate Aug<31>2005
19:07 Dec 19, 2008
Jkt 217001
‘eligible entity’ as defined in 47 CFR
73.5008(c), for purposes of claiming
eligibility for the new entrant bidding
credit?’’ Additional information
showing proof of compliance is not
required at the pre-auction application
stage. The Commission also foresees a
new universe of respondents to the
collection—those broadcast auction
applicants claiming eligibility for the
new entrant bidding credit based on
their status as an ‘‘eligible entity.’’
The Commission auctions mutually
exclusive applications for full power
commercial AM and FM radio,
television services, Instructional
Television Fixed Services (ITFS), and
all secondary commercial broadcast
services (e.g., Low Power TV (LPTV),
FM translators and television
translators). The Commission requires
the use of the FCC Form 175 (OMB
Control Number 3060–0600) to
participate in all broadcast auctions.
Broadcast applicants are also required to
submit certain exhibits, which are
covered in this information collection as
discussed below.
To facilitate the identification of
groups of mutually exclusive applicants
for non-table services which include the
AM radio, LPTV, and TV/FM translator
services, the Commission requires
applicants to submit the engineering
portions of the pertinent long-form
application (FCC Form 301 (OMB
Control Number 3060–0027), FCC Form
346 (OMB Control Number 3060–0016),
or FCC Form 349 (OMB Control Number
3060–0405) necessary to determine
mutual exclusivity.
In instances where analog television
licensees file major modification
applications, the Commission requires
that such applicants also file the
engineering data. These applicants are
required to file the electronic versions of
FCC Forms 301, 346 or 349.

states: ``Does the applicant claim to be an `eligible entity' as
