profit entities.

Needs and Uses: The Federal
Communications Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) is requesting that the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) approve the establishment of a
new information collection titled,
‘‘Application for Permit to Deliver
Programs to Foreign Broadcast Stations
(FCC Form 308).’’ Applicants use the
PO 00000
Frm 00041
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
FCC Form 308 to apply, under Section
325(c) of the Communications Act of
1934, as amended, for authority to
locate, use, or maintain a studio in the
United States for the purpose of
supplying program material to a foreign
radio or TV broadcast station whose
signals are consistently received in the
United States, or for extension of
existing authority.
Currently, the FCC Form 308 is only
available to the public in paper form.
The Commission is requesting OMB
approval of a revised FCC Form 308, in
Excel format, that will be made
available to the public on the FCC
Forms page of the FCC’s website,
www.fcc.gov <https://www.fcc.gov/>.
The form was revised to make it more
user friendly and to include questions to
obtain only the legal and technical
information that is essential to grant
authority to U.S. broadcasters to supply
program material to a foreign radio or
TV broadcast station whose signals are
consistently received in the U.S. or to
extend the current authority. After the
applicant completes the form, it is
mailed to the U.S. Bank along with the
application fee. Then, it is forwarded to
the International Bureau with the
exception of fee exempt applications
which are filed directly with the FCC
Secretary’s Office and then forwarded to
the Bureau.
Broadcasters are also subject to the
local public notice provisions stated in
Section 73.3580 of Subpart H. The
Commission adopted Section 73.3580 in
order to ensure that the public is
informed of a station’s filing of an
application or amendment by
advertisements in local newspapers.
The public is kept abreast of the
stations’ existence in a local area or
plans to locate in a specific local area
through such advertisements. Section
73.3580 also requires that certain
applications be maintained on file for
public inspection at a stated address in
the community in which the station is
located or is proposed to be located.
Without this collection of
information, the Commission would not
be able to ascertain whether the main
studio owner in the US meets various
legal requirements or the foreign
broadcast facility, which receives and
retransmits programming from the main
studio in the US, meets various
technical requirements that prevent
harmful interference to other broadcast
stations or telecommunications
facilities.

numbers. Upon OMB approval, OMB
Control Number 3060–0531 will

3060–0947 and 3060–0963. The

the reporting and third party

similar reporting requirements imposed

101.527 and 101.529. There are no
changes to these reporting and third
party requirements, we are only
consolidating the three collections into
one comprehensive information
collection.
The information is used by the
Commission staff to satisfy requirements
for licensees to demonstrate substantial
service at the time of license renewal.
Without this information, the
Commission would not be able to carry
out its statutory responsibilities. The
third party disclosure coordination
requirements are necessary to ensure
that licensees do not cause harmful
interference to each other.
