FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS
COMMISSION
Privacy Act System of Records
AGENCY: Federal Communications
Commission (FCC or Commission).
ACTION: Notice; one new Privacy Act
system of records.
SUMMARY: Pursuant to subsection (e)(4)
of the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended
(5 U.S.C. 552a), the FCC proposes to add
a new system of records, FCC/MB–1,
‘‘Ownership Report for Commercial
Broadcast Stations.’’ The FCC’s Media
Bureau (MB) will use the information
contained in FCC/MB–1 to administer
the FCC’s regulatory responsibilities
that relate to ownership of commercial
broadcast stations, including AM and
FM radio and television, as well as to
interests in daily newspapers that are
subject to the Commission’s media
ownership rules. The Commission uses
these records in this system:
To address the data contained in
responses to FCC Form 323,
‘‘Ownership Report for Commercial
Broadcast Stations,’’ which the
Commission uses to evaluate licensees’
or permittees’ compliance with the
Commission’s media ownership rules,
etc. This form is filed:
To satisfy the biennial filing
requirement (Biennial Ownership
Report);
As a validation or resubmission of a
previously filed Biennial Report;
In connection with the transfer of
control or assignment of a broadcast
station;
By a permittee (within 30 days of the
grant of a construction permit grant)
(‘‘Permittee Report’’) and on the date
that it files its license application;
As an update or certification of
accuracy of the initial Permittee Report;
or
As an amendment of a previously
filed Ownership Report.
To undertake studies of minority and
female ownership that support its
diversity policy goals and other
ownership studies to support its
statutory requirement to review the
media ownership goals quadrennially to
determine whether they are necessary in
the public interest as the result of
competition.
Any other uses of FCC Form 323
within the Commission’s authority.
DATES: In accordance with 5 U.S.C.
552a(e)(4) and (e)(11) of the Privacy Act
of 1974, as amended, any interested
person may submit written comments
concerning the routine uses of this
system on or before December 21, 2009.
Pursuant to Appendix I, 4(e) of OMB
PO 00000
Frm 00021
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Circular A–130, the FCC is asking the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB), which has oversight
responsibility under the Privacy Act, to
grant a waiver of the 40 day review
period by OMB, the House of
Representatives, and the Senate for this
system of records. The FCC is requesting
this waiver because the FCC has
obtained OMB approval for a revised
Form 323, which has been revised to
allow the form to be used as the basis
of studies of minority and female
ownership as well as ownership studies
to support the upcoming statutorily
required 2010 quadrennial review of the
Commission’s media ownership rules.
To allow trend studies to be undertaken,
the Commission has set a uniform date
as to when the information reported on
the form must be current, October 1 of
the applicable filing year. However,
because of time required to obtain OMB
approval, the Commission, on a onetime-only basis, changed the ‘‘as of’’
date to November 1, 2009. Public notice
of OMB approval of the revised Form
323 was published in the Federal
Register on October 30, 2009, and the
revised form became effective on that
date. The Commission has established a
deadline of December 15, 2009 by
which the form must be filed. The
Commission established a filing
deadline that is as early as possible so
that studies based on the data may be
commenced quickly. At the same time,
the Commission sought to provide as
much time as possible for the form to be
available before the filing date so that
the public has ample time to work with
the revised form.
The proposed new system of records
will become effective on December 21,
2009, unless the FCC receives comments
that require a contrary determination.
The FCC will publish a document in the
Federal Register notifying the public if
any changes are necessary. As required
by 5 U.S.C. 552a(r) of the Privacy Act of
1974, as amended, the FCC is
submitting reports on this proposed new
system to OMB and to both Houses of
Congress.
