to the Office of Management and Budget

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), as part of its 
continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, invites the general 
public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment 
on the following information collection, as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995. An agency may not conduct or sponsor a 
collection of information unless it displays a currently valid control 
number. No person shall be subject to any penalty for failing to comply 
with a collection of information subject to the PRA that does not 
display a valid control number. Comments are requested concerning 
whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the 
proper performance of the functions of the Commission, including 
whether the information shall have practical utility; the accuracy of 
the Commission's burden estimate; ways to enhance the quality, utility, 
and clarity of the information collected; ways to minimize the burden 
of the collection of information on the respondents, including the use 
of automated collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology; and ways to further reduce the information collection 
burden on small business concerns with fewer than 25 employees. The FCC 
may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless it 
displays a currently valid control number. No person shall be subject 
to any penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information 
subject to the PRA that does not display a valid Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) control number.

    Total Annual Burden: 23,249 hours.
    Total Annual Costs: None.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for 
confidentiality with this collection of information.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Needs and Uses: 47 CFR 73.1201(a) requires television broadcast 
licensees to make broadcast station identification announcements at the 
beginning and ending of each time of operation, and hourly, as close to 
the hour as feasible, at a natural break in program offerings. 
Television and Class A television broadcast stations may make these 
announcements visually or aurally.
    47 CFR 74.783(b) requires licensees of television translators whose 
station identification is made by the television station whose signals 
are being rebroadcast by the translator, must secure agreement with 
this television station licensee to keep in its file, and available to 
FCC personnel, the translator's call letters and location, giving the 
name, address and telephone number of the licensee or his service 
representative to be contacted in the event of malfunction of the 
translator. It shall be the responsibility of the translator licensee 
to furnish current information to the television station licensee for 
this purpose.
    47 CFR 73.1201(b)(1) requires that the official station 
identification consist of the station's call letters immediately 
followed by the community or communities specified in its license as 
the station's location. The name of the licensee, the station's 
frequency, the station's channel number, as stated on the station's 
license, and/or the station's network affiliation may be inserted 
between the call letters and station location. Digital Television (DTV) 
stations, or DAB Stations, choosing to include the station's channel 
number in the station identification must use the station's major 
channel number and may distinguish multicast program streams. For 
example, a DTV station with major channel number 26 may use 26.1 to 
identify a High Definition Television (HDTV) program service and 26.2 
to identify a Standard Definition Television (SDTV) program service. A 
radio station operating in DAB hybrid

[[Page 53758]]

mode or extended hybrid mode shall identify its digital signal, 
including any free multicast audio programming streams, in a manner 
that appropriately alerts its audience to the fact that it is listening 
to a digital audio broadcast. No other insertion between the station's 
call letters and the community or communities specified in its license 
is permissible. A station may include in its official station 
identification the name of any additional community or communities, but 
the community to which the station is licensed must be named first.
    47 CFR 74.783(e) permits low power TV permittees or licensees to 
request to be assigned four-letter call signs in lieu of the five-
character alpha-numeric call signs.
    47 CFR 74.1283(c)(1) requires a FM translator station licensee 
whose identification is made by the primary station must arrange for 
the primary station licensee to furnish the translator's call letters 
and location (name, address, and telephone number of the licensee or 
service representative) to the FCC. The licensee must keep this 
information in the primary station's files.

mobile services messages.

prohibit the sending of commercial messages to any address referencing 
an Internet domain name associated with wireless subscribers' messaging 
services, unless the individual addressee has given the sender express 
prior authorization. The information collection requirements consist of 
47 CFR 64.3100(a)(4), (d), (e) and (f) of the Commission's rules.

Federal Communications Commission.
