Summary of Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 1. In the Report and Order, FCC 10– 194, adopted November 22, 2010 and released November 23, 2010, in this proceeding, the Commission adopted a new digital TV ILLR model that complies with the requirements and provisions of the Satellite Television Extension and Localism Act of 2010 (STELA). This model will provide a method for accurately, reliably and presumptively estimating the signal strength of digital television stations at individual locations for purposes of determining whether a subscriber to a satellite television service is eligible for delivery of distant network signals from that service. With this model in place, the Commission seeks to further investigate and consider the suggestions in the comments for possible modifications to the digital ILLR model that would further improve the accuracy and improve the accuracy and reliability of its predictions. The Commission would adopt such modifications in a subsequent Report and Order in this proceeding. 2. In this regard, the Commission invites the submission of additional information concerning the methodological changes suggested in the comments by Mr. Shumate for the digital ILLR model with respect to (1) calculation of diffraction loss close to an obstacle or leading up to and following a pair of obstacles and (2) a factual or E:\FR\FM\22DEP1.SGM 22DEP1 80426 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 245 / Wednesday, December 22, 2010 / Proposed Rules scientific basis for explaining the additional losses in the line of sight range above and beyond the free space loss and two-ray-loss. The Commission is requesting a detailed description of the methodological changes that would be offered for addressing these aspects of the model and how they would improve the model to better estimate digital television signal strengths at individual locations. Such additional submissions should also include computer software that implements these methodological changes, to the extent that it is available, for evaluation by our engineering staff. The Commission also requests comment and technical evaluations from interested parties on the changes Mr. Shumate proposes. In his submission in this proceeding, Mr. Shumate provides a brief description of a comparison of estimates generated using the current ILLR model and the ‘‘ITWOM’’ with the improvements he suggests. The Commission now requests additional information on this comparison and also the submission of additional data and information that provides comparative analysis of the two methods. Interested parties are also invited to submit additional proposals and suggestions for improving the digital ILLR model. The Commission is particularly interested in information on any other techniques for improving the degree to which the model accurately represents the propagation of a digital television signal from a transmitter to a specific receive site and any new data that may be available for improving the model’s predictions. srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with PROPOSALS A.

Under that plan, refinements based on additional data may be proposed by referencing the docket of this proceeding, which will be held open indefinitely for this purpose. Consistent with this intention to refine the model as new information becomes available, the Commission is initiating this Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking herein to request comment on possible modifications to the methodology in the digital Individual Location Longley-Rice (ILLR) model to improve its predictive accuracy as suggested by one of the parties responding to the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 75 FR 46885, August 4, 2010, in this proceeding. The methodological changes to be addressed in the Further NPRM would change the manner in which our predictions are calculated but would not alter the administrative burden on any of the small business entities that would use or be affected by the predictive model. Therefore, the Commission does not expect these changes to have any economic impact on small entities. 5. Therefore, we certify that the proposals in this Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, if adopted, will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. If commenters believe that the proposals discussed in the NPRM require additional RFA analysis, they should include a discussion of these issues in their comments and additionally label them as RFA comments. The Commission will send a copy of the NPRM, including a copy of this initial certification, to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the SBA.6 B. Paperwork Reduction Act Analysis: 6.

Summary of Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking

    1. In the Report and Order, FCC 10-194, adopted November 22, 2010 
and released November 23, 2010, in this proceeding, the Commission 
adopted a new digital TV ILLR model that complies with the requirements 
and provisions of the Satellite Television Extension and Localism Act 
of 2010 (STELA). This model will provide a method for accurately, 
reliably and presumptively estimating the signal strength of digital 
television stations at individual locations for purposes of determining 
whether a subscriber to a satellite television service is eligible for 
delivery of distant network signals from that service. With this model 
in place, the Commission seeks to further investigate and consider the 
suggestions in the comments for possible modifications to the digital 
ILLR model that would further improve the accuracy and improve the 
accuracy and reliability of its predictions. The Commission would adopt 
such modifications in a subsequent Report and Order in this proceeding.
    2. In this regard, the Commission invites the submission of 
additional information concerning the methodological changes suggested 
in the comments by Mr. Shumate for the digital ILLR model with respect 
to (1) calculation of diffraction loss close to an obstacle or leading 
up to and following a pair of obstacles and (2) a factual or

[[Page 80426]]

scientific basis for explaining the additional losses in the line of 
sight range above and beyond the free space loss and two-ray-loss. The 
Commission is requesting a detailed description of the methodological 
changes that would be offered for addressing these aspects of the model 
and how they would improve the model to better estimate digital 
television signal strengths at individual locations. Such additional 
submissions should also include computer software that implements these 
methodological changes, to the extent that it is available, for 
evaluation by our engineering staff. The Commission also requests 
comment and technical evaluations from interested parties on the 
changes Mr. Shumate proposes. In his submission in this proceeding, Mr. 
Shumate provides a brief description of a comparison of estimates 
generated using the current ILLR model and the ``ITWOM'' with the 
improvements he suggests. The Commission now requests additional 
information on this comparison and also the submission of additional 
data and information that provides comparative analysis of the two 
methods. Interested parties are also invited to submit additional 
proposals and suggestions for improving the digital ILLR model. The 
Commission is particularly interested in information on any other 
techniques for improving the degree to which the model accurately 
represents the propagation of a digital television signal from a 
transmitter to a specific receive site and any new data that may be 
available for improving the model's predictions.

A. Initial Regulatory Flexibility Certification.

    3. The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, as amended (RFA),\1\ 
requires that an initial regulatory flexibility analysis be prepared 
for notice and comment rulemaking proceedings, unless the agency 
certifies that ``the rule will not, if promulgated, have a significant 
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.'' \2\ The 
RFA generally defines the term ``small entity'' as having the same 
meaning as the terms ``small business,'' ``small organization,'' and 
``small governmental jurisdiction.'' \3\ In addition, the term ``small 
business'' has the same meaning as the term ``small business concern'' 
under the Small Business Act.\4\ A ``small business concern'' is one 
which: (1) Is independently owned and operated; (2) is not dominant in 
its field of operation; and (3) satisfies any additional criteria 
established by the Small Business Administration (SBA).\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The RFA, see 5 U.S.C. 601-612, has been amended by the Small 
Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (SBREFA), 
Public Law 104-121, Title II, 110 Stat. 857 (1996).
    \2\ 5 U.S.C. 605(b).
    \3\ 5 U.S.C. 601(6).
    \4\ 5 U.S.C. 601(3) (incorporating by reference the definition 
of ``small business concern'' in the Small Business Act, 15 U.S.C. 
632). Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 601(3), the statutory definition of a 
small business applies ``unless an agency, after consultation with 
the Office of Advocacy of the Small Business Administration and 
after opportunity for public comment, establishes one or more 
definitions of such term which are appropriate to the activities of 
the agency and publishes such definition(s) in the Federal 
Register.''
    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 632. Federal Register.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    4. The Commission is providing a plan for the model's continued 
refinement by use of additional data as it may become available. Under 
that plan, refinements based on additional data may be proposed by 
referencing the docket of this proceeding, which will be held open 
indefinitely for this purpose. Consistent with this intention to refine 
the model as new information becomes available, the Commission is 
initiating this Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking herein to request 
comment on possible modifications to the methodology in the digital 
Individual Location Longley-Rice (ILLR) model to improve its predictive 
accuracy as suggested by one of the parties responding to the Notice of 
Proposed Rulemaking, 75 FR 46885, August 4, 2010, in this proceeding. 
The methodological changes to be addressed in the Further NPRM would 
change the manner in which our predictions are calculated but would not 
alter the administrative burden on any of the small business entities 
that would use or be affected by the predictive model. Therefore, the 
Commission does not expect these changes to have any economic impact on 
small entities.
    5. Therefore, we certify that the proposals in this Notice of 
Proposed Rulemaking, if adopted, will not have a significant economic 
impact on a substantial number of small entities. If commenters believe 
that the proposals discussed in the NPRM require additional RFA 
analysis, they should include a discussion of these issues in their 
comments and additionally label them as RFA comments. The Commission 
will send a copy of the NPRM, including a copy of this initial 
certification, to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the SBA.\6\

B. Paperwork Reduction Act Analysis:

    6. This document does not contain proposed information 
collection(s) subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), 
Public Law 104-13. In addition, therefore, it does not contain any new 
or modified ``information collection burden for small business concerns
