Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is no need for confidentiality with
this collection of information.
Needs and Uses: Commercial
television broadcast stations and Class
A television broadcast stations are both
required to file FCC Form 398. FCC
Form 398 is a standardized form that:
(a) Provides a consistent format for
reporting by all licensees, and
(b) Facilitates efforts by the public
and the FCC to monitor compliance
with the Children’s Television Act.
These commercial television
broadcast station licensees and the Class
A television broadcast station licensees
both use FCC Form 398:
(a) To identify the individual station,
and
(b) To identify the children’s
educational and informational
programs, which the station broadcasts
on both the regularly scheduled and
preempted core programming, to meet
the station’s obligation under the
Children’s Television Act of 1990
(CTA).
Each quarter, the licensee is required
to place in its public inspection file a
‘‘Children’s Television Programming
Report’’ and to file the FCC Form 398
each quarter with the Commission. The
licensee must also complete a
‘‘Preemption Report’’ for each
preempted core program during the
quarter. This ‘‘Preemption Report’’
requests information on the date of each
preemption, if the program was
rescheduled, the date and time the
program was aired, and the reason for
the preemption.
