Respondents: Business or other for–

Number of Respondents and
Responses: 5,170 respondents and 5,170
responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 1–4

Frequency of Response: On occasion

Total Annual Burden: 11,080 hours.
Total Annual Costs: $19,096,297.
Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. The statutory
authority for this information collection
is contained in Sections 154(i), 303 and
308 of the Communications Act of 1934,
as amended.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is no need for confidentiality with
this information collection.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No
impact(s).
Needs and Uses: On June 29, 2009,
the Commission adopted a Report and
Order, Amendment of Service and
Eligibility Rules for FM Broadcast
Translator Stations, MB Docket No. 07–
172, FCC 09–59. In the Report and
Order, the Commission adopted changes
to the FM translator rules that would
allow AM stations to use authorized FM
translator stations to rebroadcast the AM
signal locally, retransmitting their AM
programming as a ‘‘fill–in’’ service. The
adopted cross service translating rules
limit FM translators to providing ‘‘fill–
in’’ service only, specifically within the
AM primary station’s authorized service
area. In addition, the Commission
limited the cross–service rule changes to
‘‘currently authorized FM translators,’’
that is, those translators with licenses or
permit in effect as of May 1, 2009.
Therefore, the rule changes affecting
this information collection will add a
new universe of filers – AM stations –
to this information collection. AM
stations will use Form 349 to apply for
authorizations to operate such FM
translator stations.
Consistent with actions taken by the
Commission in the Report and Order,
the following changes are made to Form
349: Sections II and III of Form 349
include new certifications concerning
compliance with the AM station ‘‘fill–
in’’ service requirements. Specifically,
in the AM service, applicants certify
that the coverage contour of the FM
translator station is contained within
the lesser of: (a) the 2 mV/m daytime
contour of the AM primary station being
rebroadcast, or (b) a 25–mile radius
centered at the AM station’s transmitter

site. The instructions for Sections II and
III have been revised to assist applicants
with completing the new questions.
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. This
form also includes the third party
disclosure requirement of 47 CFR
73.3580. Section 73.3580 requires local
public notice in a newspaper of general
circulation of all application filings for
new or major change in facilities. This
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. A copy of this
notice must be placed in the public
inspection file along with the
application.
FCC 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 CFR 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, TV, and DTV
broadcast station, 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 noncommercial
educational use, or in the situation
where applications for NCE stations on
non–reserved channels are mutually
exclusive only with one another.
Revisions to this information
collection are due to revisions being
made only to FCC Form 349.
