clarified Section 207 rules. Among other
things, the Order on Reconsideration
clarified how declaratory rulings and
waivers in this matter are to be served
on all interested parties. If a local
government seeks a declaratory ruling or
a waiver, it must take steps to afford
reasonable, constructive notice to
residents in its jurisdiction (e.g., by
placing notices in a local newspaper of
general circulation). Certificates of
service and proof of constructive notice
also must be provided to the
Commission with the petition. In this
regard, the petitioner should provide the
Commission with a copy of the notice
and an explanation of where the notice
was placed and how many people the
notice might reasonably have reached.

digital television (DTV) transition status
and to report the completion of their
transition—specifically, that they have
begun operating their full facility as
authorized by the post-transition DTV
Table Appendix B. The DTV transition
deadline passed on June 12, 2009,
meaning that full-power television
stations may now broadcast only in
digital. However, there are still some
full-power TV stations that, because of
a ‘‘tolling’’ event, have not commenced
digital broadcasting (and so are off-theair) or that are not operating at their full,

authorized digital facility. Therefore,
such stations are required to file the
FCC Form 387 if and when they
commence full, authorized digital
operations.

that individuals and households
provide personally identifiable
information, which is covered under the
FCC’s system of records notice (SORN),
FCC/CGB–1, ‘‘Informal Complaints and
Inquiries.’’ As required by the Privacy
Act, 5 U.S.C. 552a, the Commission also
published a SORN, FCC/CGB–1

implementation of section 255 of the
Telecommunications Act of 1996, which
seeks to ensure that telecommunications
equipment and services are available to
all Americans, including those
individuals with disabilities. As with
any complaint procedure, a certain
number of regulatory and information
burdens are necessary to ensure
compliance with FCC rules. The
information collection requirements
also give full effect to the accessibility
policies embodied in section 255. They
do so by requiring telecommunications
equipment manufacturers and service
providers to make end-user product
documentation available in alternate
formats, including providing contact
information to request such
documentation, and by requiring them
to demonstrate how they considered
accessibility during product
development.

The Commission released a Second
Report and Order (FCC 10–82; IB Docket
No. 95–91) on May 20, 2010, in which
the agency accomplished three goals:
(1) Adopted technical rules governing
the operation of SDARS repeaters that
will not constrain their function or
deployment but will limit the potential
for harmful interference to adjacent
Wireless Communications Service
(WCS) spectrum users by requiring
SDARS licensees to notify WCS
licensees prior to the deployment of
new or modified SDARS terrestrial
repeaters; (2) established a blanketlicensing regime for repeaters up to 12
kilowatts (kW) average equivalent
isotropically radiated power (EIRP) to
facilitate the flexible deployment of
SDARS repeaters while ensuring that
such repeater operations comply with
the Commission’s rules regarding RF
safety, antenna marking and lighting,
equipment authorization and
international agreements; and, (3)
established site-by-site licensing regime
for repeaters operating above 12 kW
(average) EIRP, or otherwise not in
compliance with the rules adopted for
SDARS terrestrial repeater operations.
The information collection
requirements accounted for in this
collection are necessary to determine
the technical and legal qualifications of
SDARS applicants or licensees to
operate a station, transfer or assign a
license, and to determine whether the
authorization is in the public interest,
convenience and necessity. Without
such information, the Commission
could not determine whether to permit
respondents to provide SDARS services
in the U.S. Therefore, the Commission
would be unable to fulfill its statutory
responsibilities in accordance with the
Communications Act of 1934, as
amended.
