303 and 308 of the Communications Act
of 1934, as amended.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is no need for confidentiality with
this collection of information.
Privacy Impact Assessment: No
impact(s).
Needs and Uses: The Commission
received OMB approval on December
29, 2008 under the emergency process
procedures for a period of six months
for the changes to FCC Form 340 that
were necessary to accommodate
applications by a DTV station for a DTS
facility. The Commission now is
requesting OMB approval for a period of
three years for the requirements and
changes to FCC Form 340.
In addition, the Commission is
revising this information collection to
eliminate the requirements that are no
longer necessary because of the
completion of the DTV transition on
June 12, 2009. In particular, collections
relating to the filing of applications for
construction permits and broadcast
licenses for analog TV stations are
discontinued now that all full-power TV
stations will broadcast only in digital.
Therefore, with this submission the
Commission is discontinuing FCC Form
302–TV now that all full-power TV
stations will broadcast only in digital.
The associated burdens and costs
related to FCC Form 302–TV are
removed from this collection.
Form 302–DTV is used by licensees
and permittees of Digital TV (‘‘DTV’’)
broadcast stations to obtain a new or
modified station license and/or to notify
the Commission of certain changes in
the licensed facilities of those stations.
It may be used: (1) To cover an
authorized construction permit (or
auxiliary antenna), provided that the
facilities have been constructed in
compliance with the provisions and
conditions specified on the construction
permit; or (2) To implement
modifications to existing licenses as
permitted by 47 C.F.R. Sections
73.1675(c) or 73.1690(c).
FCC Form 340 is used by licensees
and permittees to apply for authority to
construct a new noncommercial
educational (‘‘NCE’’) FM and DTV
broadcast station (including a DTS
facility), or to make changes in the
existing facilities of such a station. The
FCC Form 340 is only used if the station
will operate on a channel that is
reserved exclusively for NCE use, or in
the situation where applications for
NCE stations on non-reserved channels
are mutually exclusive only with one
another.
Form 340’s Newspaper Notice (third
party disclosure) requirement; 47 CFR
73.3580. Form 340 also contains a third

party disclosure requirement, pursuant
to § 73.3580. This rule requires stations
applying for a new broadcast station, or
to make major changes to an existing
station, to give local public notice of
this filing in a newspaper of general
circulation in the community in which
the station is located. This local public
notice must be completed within 30
days of the tendering of the application.
This notice must be published at least
twice a week for two consecutive weeks
in a three-week period. In addition, a
copy of this notice must be placed in the
station’s public inspection file along
with the application, pursuant to
Section 73.3527. This recordkeeping
information collection requirement is
contained in OMB Control No. 3060–
0214, which covers Section 73.3527.
FCC Form 349 is used to apply for
authority to construct a new FM
translator or FM booster broadcast
station, or to make changes in the
existing facilities of such stations.
Form 349’s Newspaper Notice (third
party disclosure) requirement; 47 CFR
73.3580. Form 349 also contains a third
party disclosure requirement, pursuant
to § 73.3580. This rule requires stations
applying for a new broadcast station, or
to make major changes to an existing
station, to give local public notice of
this filing in a newspaper of general
circulation in the community in which
the station is located. This local public
notice must be completed within 30

Notice of Public Information
Collection(s) Approved by the Office of
Management and Budget
July 21, 2009.
SUMMARY: The Federal Communications
Commission has received Office of

VerDate Nov<24>2008

Jkt 217001
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 or copies of the
information collection(s), contact Cathy
Williams at (202) 418–2918.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 3060–0751.
OMB Approval Date: December 12,
2008.
Expiration Date: December 31, 2011.
Title: Section 43.51, Reports
Concerning International Private Lines
Interconnected to the U.S. Public
Switched Network.
Form Number: Not Applicable.
Estimated Annual Burden: 40
responses; 6–8 hours per response; 300
hours total per year.

information is contained in 47 U.S.C.
154, 211, 219 and 220.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is no need for confidentiality.
Needs and Uses: The Commission has
determined that the authorized resale of
international private lines
interconnected to the U.S. public
switched network would tend to divert
international message telephone service
(IMTS) traffic from the settlements
process and increase the U.S. net
settlements deficit. The information will
be used by the Commission in reviewing
the impact, if any, that end-user private
line interconnections have on the
Commission’s international settlements
policy. The data will also enhance the
ability of both the Commission and
interested parties to monitor the
unauthorized resale of international
private lines that are interconnected to
the U.S. public switched network.
OMB Control Number: 3060–0768.
OMB Approval Date: January 30,
2009.
Expiration Date: December 31, 2011.
Title: 28 GHz Band.
Form Number: Not Applicable.
Estimated Annual Burden: 65

authority for this collection of
information is contained in 47 U.S.C.
154 and 303(r).
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is no need for confidentiality.
Needs and Uses: Applicants and
licensees are required to provide the
requested information to the
Commission and other third parties
whenever they seek authority to provide
service in the 28 GHz band. If this
information is compiled less frequently
or not filed in conjunction with the
Commission’s rules, applicants and
licensees will not obtain the
authorization necessary to provide
telecommunications services.
Furthermore, the Commission would
not be able to carry out its mandate as
required by statute.
OMB Control Number: 3060–1035.
OMB Approval Date: February 13,
2009.
Expiration Date: January 31, 2012.
Title: Part 73, subpart F, International
Broadcast Stations.
Form Number: FCC Forms 309, 310
and 311.
Estimated Annual Burden: 225
responses; 2–720 hours per response;
20,096 hours total per year.
Annual Cost Burden: $72,575.
Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. The statutory
authority for this collection of
information is contained in 47 U.S.C.
154, 303, 307, 334, 336 and 554.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is no need for confidentiality.
Needs and Uses: This information
collection is used by the Commission to
assign frequencies for use by
international broadcast stations, to grant
authority to operate such stations and to
determine if interference or adverse
propagation conditions exist that may
impact the operation of such stations.
The Commission collects this
information pursuant to 47 CFR part 73,
subpart F. If the Commission did not
collect this information, it would not be
in a position to effectively coordinate
spectrum for international broadcasters
or to act for entities in times of
frequency interference or adverse
propagation conditions.

OMB Approval Date: March 23, 2009.
Expiration Date: March 31, 2012.

CFR 63.10, 63.11, 63.13, 63.18, 63.19,
63.21, 63.24, 63.25 and 1.1311.
