Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection. Respondents: Business or other for– profit entities; Not–for–profit institutions; State, local or tribal government. Number of Respondents and Responses: 4,820 respondents and 12,520 responses. Estimated Time per Response: 2 to 6 hours. Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement; Third party disclosure requirement. Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits.

Total Annual Burden: 18,443 hours Total Annual Costs: $36,168,450.00 Privacy Impact Assessment(s): No impacts. Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for confidentiality and respondents are not being asked to submit confidential information to the Commission. Needs and Uses: On January 28, 2010, the Commission adopted a First Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (the ‘‘Order’’) in MB Docket No. 09–52; FCC 10–24. The Order adopts rule changes designed to streamline and clarify certain procedures associated with the award of broadcast radio construction permits by competitive bidding. In the Order, the Commission also adopted a priority under Section 307(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, to assist federally recognized Native American Tribes and Alaska Native Villages (‘‘Tribes’’), enrolled members of Tribes, and entities primarily owned or controlled by Tribes or enrolled members of Tribes, in obtaining broadcast radio construction permits designed primarily to serve tribal lands (the ‘‘Tribal Priority’’). Applicants affiliated with Tribes who meet certain conditions regarding tribal membership and signal coverage qualify for the Tribal Priority, which in most cases will enable the qualifying applicants to obtain construction permits without proceeding to competitive bidding, in the case of commercial stations, or to point system evaluation, in the case of noncommercial educational (‘‘NCE’’) stations. Once a permit is obtained, it cannot be assigned or transferred to another person or entity for a period beginning with issuance of the VerDate Nov<24>2008 16:21 Feb 09, 2010 Jkt 220001 construction permit until the station has completed four years of on–air operations, unless the assignee or transferee also qualifies for the Tribal Priority. Consistent with actions taken by the Commission in the Order, the following changes are made to Forms 314 and 315: Section I of each form includes a new question asking applicants to indicate whether any of the authorizations involved in the transaction were obtained (or, in the case of non–reserved band commercial FM stations) the allotment for the station was obtained through the Tribal Priority. The instructions for Section I of Forms 314 and 315 have been revised to assist applicants with completing the new questions. OMB Control Number: 3060–0009. Title: Application for Consent to Assignment of Broadcast Station Construction Permit or License or Transfer of Control of Corporation Holding Broadcast Station Construction Permit or License. Form Number: FCC Form 316. Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection. Respondents: Business or other for– profit entities; Not–for–profit institutions; State, local or tribal government. Number of Respondents and Responses: 750 respondents and 750 responses. Estimated Time per Response: 1.5 to 4.5 hours. Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement. Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. Statutory authority for this collection of information is contained in Sections 154(i) and 310(d) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended. Total Annual Burden: 1,231 hours Total Annual Costs: $711,150.00 Privacy Impact Assessment(s): No impacts. Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for confidentiality and respondents are not being asked to submit confidential information to the Commission. Needs and Uses: On January 28, 2010, the Commission adopted a First Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (the ‘‘Order’’) in MB Docket No. 09–52, FCC 10–24. The Order adopts rule changes designed to streamline and clarify certain procedures associated with the award of broadcast radio construction permits by competitive bidding. To prevent unjust enrichment by parties that acquire broadcast construction permits through PO 00000 Frm 00045 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 the use of a bidding credit in an auction, Section 73.5007(c) of the Rules requires reimbursement to the Commission of all or part of the bidding credit upon a subsequent assignment or transfer of control, if the proposed assignee or transferee is not eligible for the same percentage of bidding credit. The rule is routinely applied to ‘‘long form’’ assignment or transfer applications filed on FCC Forms 314 and 315. In the Order, the Commission also sought to clarify that the unjust enrichment payments to the government must be made even when an assignment or transfer is pro forma in nature and therefore filed on FCC Form 316. This ensures that applicants do not use the summary pro forma assignment and transfer procedures to circumvent the unjust enrichment requirements. Consistent with actions taken by the Commission in the Order, FCC Form 316 has been revised to add the broadcast auction–based questions presently included on FCC Forms 314 and 315, specifically asking the applicants to certify that the proposed assignment or transfer complies with the unjust enrichment provisions of the Commission’s competitive bidding rules. The instructions for FCC Form 316 have been revised to assist applicants with completing the new questions. Federal Communications Commission. Marlene H. Dortch, Secretary, Office of the Secretary, Office of Managing Director.
