confidentiality with this collection of
information.
Needs and Uses: On September 28,
2012, the Federal Communications
Commission (‘‘Commission’’) released a
Report and Order (R&O) titled, ‘‘In the
Matter of 2006 Biennial Regulatory
Review—Revision of Part 25,’’ FCC 12–
116. With two exceptions, the
amendments are non-substantive; that
is, they neither impose new
requirements nor eliminate or alter
existing requirements. The two
substantive amendments adopted in the
R&O do not increase paperwork
burdens. Therefore, the number of
respondents, number of responses,
annual burden hours and annual costs
have not been amended from the
previous submission to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) on
September 2, 2010.
In this Report and Order, the
Commission amended various
provisions of Part 25 of its rules
pertaining to licensing and operation of
satellite service radio stations. Among
other things, the Commission added
definitions for several technical terms
that appear in Part 25 but are not
defined there, and it deleted definitions
of terms that are not used in Part 25.
The Commission also eliminated
redundant text from several rule
sections, revised the wording of other
provisions that were ambiguous or
unduly confusing, updated crossreferences to Commission rules or
recommendations of the International
Telecommunication Union (ITU), and
corrected grammatical, spelling, and
typographical errors. The two
substantive amendments the
Commission adopted in this Report and
Order amended the rules in minor ways
by: (1) Eliminating requirements to
identify a radio service and station
location in correspondence in 47 CFR
25.110 and (2) codifying an established
practice of allowing applicants to crossreference, rather than re-submit,
previously filed information regarding
non-U.S.-licensed satellites in 47 CFR
25.137. Collectively, the changes
adopted in this Report and Order will
facilitate preparation of earth and space
station applications, promote
compliance with the Commission’s
operating rules, and ease administrative
burdens for applicants, licensees, and
the Commission. The information
collection requirements accounted for in
this collection are necessary to
determine the technical and legal
qualifications of applicants or licensees
to operate a station and to determine
whether the authorization is in the
public interest, convenience and
necessity. Without such information,
VerDate Mar<15>2010

the Commission could not determine
whether to permit respondents to
provide telecommunications services in
the United States. Therefore, the
Commission would not be able to fulfill
its statutory responsibilities in
accordance with the Communications
Act of 1934, as amended, and the
obligations imposed on parties to the
World Trade Organization (WTO) Basic
Telecom Agreement.
OMB Control Number: 3060–0692.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Title: Sections 76.802 and 76.804,
Home Wiring Provisions; Section
76.613, Interference from a Multichannel Video Programming Distributor
(MVPD).
Form Number: N/A.
Respondents: Individuals or
households; Business or other for-profit
entities.
Number of Respondents: 22,000.
Estimated Time per Response: 0.083—
2 hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion
reporting requirement; Recordkeeping
requirement; Annual reporting
requirement; Third party disclosure
requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. The statutory
authority for this collection is contained
in Sections 1, 4, 224, 251, 303, 601, 623,
624 and 632 of the Communications Act
of 1934, as amended.
Total Annual Burden: 36,114 hours.
Total Annual Cost: None.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No
impact(s).
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is no need for confidentiality with
this collection of information.
Needs and Uses: In the Cable
Television Consumer Protection and
Competition Act of 1992, Congress
directed the FCC to adopt rules
governing the disposition of home
wiring owned by a cable operator when
a subscriber terminates service. The
rules at 76.800 et seq., implement that
directive. The intention of the rules is
to clarify the status and provide for the
disposition of existing cable operatorowned wiring in single family homes
*58991 and multiple dwelling units
upon the termination of a contract for
cable service by the home owner or
MDU owner. Section 76.613(d) requires
that when Multichannel Video
Programming Distributors (MVPDs)
cause harmful signal interference
MVPDs may be required by the District
Director and/or Resident Agent to
prepare and submit a report regarding
the cause(s) of the interference,
corrective measures planned or taken,

Needs and Uses: On September 28, 2012, the Federal Communications
Commission (``Commission'') released a Report and Order (R&O) titled,
``In the Matter of 2006 Biennial Regulatory Review--Revision of Part
25,'' FCC 12-116. With two exceptions, the amendments are non-
substantive; that is, they neither impose new requirements nor
eliminate or alter existing requirements. The two substantive
amendments adopted in the R&O do not increase paperwork burdens.
Therefore, the number of respondents, number of responses, annual
burden hours and annual costs have not been amended from the previous
submission to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) on September 2,
2010.
In this Report and Order, the Commission amended various provisions
of Part 25 of its rules pertaining to licensing and operation of
satellite service radio stations. Among other things, the Commission
added definitions for several technical terms that appear in Part 25
but are not defined there, and it deleted definitions of terms that are
not used in Part 25. The Commission also eliminated redundant text from
several rule sections, revised the wording of other provisions that
were ambiguous or unduly confusing, updated cross-references to
Commission rules or recommendations of the International
Telecommunication Union (ITU), and corrected grammatical, spelling, and
typographical errors. The two substantive amendments the Commission
adopted in this Report and Order amended the rules in minor ways by:
(1) Eliminating requirements to identify a radio service and station
location in correspondence in 47 CFR 25.110 and (2) codifying an
established practice of allowing applicants to cross-reference, rather
than re-submit, previously filed information regarding non-U.S.-
licensed satellites in 47 CFR 25.137. Collectively, the changes adopted
in this Report and Order will facilitate preparation of earth and space
station applications, promote compliance with the Commission's
operating rules, and ease administrative burdens for applicants,
licensees, and the Commission. The information collection requirements
accounted for in this collection are necessary to determine the
technical and legal qualifications of applicants or licensees to
operate a station 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 telecommunications services in the United States. Therefore,
the Commission would not be able to fulfill its statutory
responsibilities in accordance with the Communications Act of 1934, as
amended, and the obligations imposed on parties to the World Trade
Organization (WTO) Basic Telecom Agreement.
OMB Control Number: 3060-0692.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Title: Sections 76.802 and 76.804, Home Wiring Provisions; Section
76.613, Interference from a Multi-channel Video Programming Distributor
(MVPD).

Estimated Time per Response: 0.083--2 hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement;
Recordkeeping requirement; Annual reporting requirement; Third party
disclosure requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. The
statutory authority for this collection is contained in Sections 1, 4,
224, 251, 303, 601, 623, 624 and 632 of the Communications Act of 1934,
as amended.
Total Annual Burden: 36,114 hours.
Total Annual Cost: None.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for
confidentiality with this collection of information.
Needs and Uses: In the Cable Television Consumer Protection and
Competition Act of 1992, Congress directed the FCC to adopt rules
governing the disposition of home wiring owned by a cable operator when
a subscriber terminates service. The rules at 76.800 et seq., implement
that directive. The intention of the rules is to clarify the status and
provide for the disposition of existing cable operator-owned wiring in
single family homes *58991 and multiple dwelling units upon the
termination of a contract for cable service by the home owner or MDU
owner. Section 76.613(d) requires that when Multichannel Video
Programming Distributors (MVPDs) cause harmful signal interference
MVPDs may be required by the District Director and/or Resident Agent to
prepare and submit a report regarding the cause(s) of the interference,
corrective measures planned or taken, and the efficacy of the remedial
measures.
