Appeal File.
(3) Agency Form Number, if any, and

abstract:
Primary: Any individual requesting
entry into the Voluntary Appeal File
(VAF) of the FBI Criminal Justice
Information Services (CJIS) Division’s
National Instant Criminal Background
Check System (NICS) Section.
Brief Abstract: Under 28 CFR,
§ 25.9(b)(1), (2), and (3), the NICS must
destroy all identifying information on
allowed transactions within 24 hours of
the Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL)
being notified of the transaction’s
proceed status. If a potential purchaser
is delayed or denied a firearm then
successfully appeals the decision, the
NICS Section cannot retain a record of
the overturned appeal or the supporting
documentation. If the record cannot be
updated, the purchaser continues to be
delayed or denied, and if that individual
appeals the decision, the documentation
must be resubmitted for every
subsequent purchase. As such, the
Voluntary Appeal File (VAF) was
mandated to be created and maintained
by the NICS Section for the purpose of
preventing future lengthy delays or
erroneous denials of a firearm transfer.
An individual wishing to request entry
into the VAF may obtain a VAF
brochure from the NICS Section, an
FFL, or the NICS Section Web site:
https://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/nics/
nics.
(5) An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond:
It is estimated that annually 7,542
individuals will request entry into the
VAF. It takes an average of 5 minutes to
read and complete all areas of the
application, an estimated 2 hours for the
process of fingerprinting including
travel, and 25 minutes to mail the form
for a total of 2.5 hours estimated burden
to the respondent.

(6) An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection:
The number of persons requesting
entry into the VAF is estimated to be
7,542 individuals annually. The time it
takes each individual to complete the
process is 2.5 hours. The total public
burden hours are 7,542 respondents
multiplied by 2.5 hours which equals
18,855 total burden hours.

[Docket No. 2011–1]
Cable Statutory License: Specialty
Station List
Copyright Office, Library of
Congress.
ACTION: Notice of objections and
specialty station filings.
AGENCY:
Periodically, the Copyright
Office (‘‘Office’’) seeks to update its list
of specialty stations related to the use of
the cable compulsory license. In
response to the publication of an initial
list of specialty stations for this purpose
in April of this year, the Office received
objections filed by the Motion Picture
Association of America to the
identification of certain stations as being
entitled to specialty station status in
accordance with the Federal
Communications Commission’s (‘‘FCC’’)
definition of specialty station in effect
on June 24, 1981. Consequently, before
compiling the final list, the Office is
providing an opportunity for response
to the filed objections. The Office is also
publishing for comment a new list of
television stations reported in filed
affidavits received after publication of
the initial list in which the owner or
licensee of the television station attests
that the station qualifies as a specialty
station under the FCC’s former rules.
DATES: Objections to the newly
designated specialty stations must be
filed no later than December 8, 2011.
Responses to any objections filed to the
SUMMARY:

newly designated specialty stations
must be received no later than January
9, 2012. Responses to any of the MPAA
objections noted herein must also be
filed with the Office no later than
January 9, 2012.
ADDRESSES: All comments and reply
comments shall be submitted
electronically. A comment page
containing a comment form is posted on
the Copyright Office Web site at
https://www.copyright.gov/docs/ssl. The
Web site interface requires submitters to
complete a form specifying name and
organization, as applicable, and to
upload comments as an attachment via
a browser button. To meet accessibility
standards, all objections, comments, or
other filings must be uploaded in a
single file in either the Adobe Portable
Document File (PDF) format that
contains searchable, accessible text (not
an image); Microsoft Word;
WordPerfect; Rich Text Format (RTF); or
ASCII text file format (not a scanned
document). The maximum file size is 6
megabytes (MB). The name of the
submitter and organization should
appear on both the form and the face of
the filings. All objections, comments,
and other filings will be posted publicly
on the Copyright Office Web site exactly
as they are received, along with names
and organizations. If electronic
submission of objections, comments, or
other filings is not feasible, please
contact Tracie Coleman of the Licensing
Division at (202)–707–8150 for special
instructions.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ben
Golant, Assistant General Counsel, and
Tanya M. Sandros, Deputy General
Counsel, Copyright GC/I&R, P.O. Box
70400, Southwest Station, Washington,
DC 20024. Telephone: (202) 707–8380.
Telefax: (202) 707–8366.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
cable statutory license, a cable operator
may retransmit the signal of a distant
television station identified as a
specialty station at the base rate rather
than at the higher 3.75% rate that is
incurred for the carriage of a nonpermitted signal. 37 CFR 256.2(c).
Specialty station status is determined by
reference to the former regulations of
the FCC which defined a specialty
station as ‘‘a commercial television
broadcast station that generally carries
foreign-language, religious, and/or
automated programming in one-third of
the hours of an average broadcast week
and one-third of the weekly prime-time
hours.’’ 47 CFR 76.5(kk) (1981). The
specialty station designation was part of
a complex regulatory structure which
governed the carriage of distant network
station signals in the 1970s. However,
