Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 239 / Thursday, December 12, 2013 / Notices
foreign investments in these two
categories of Commission licensees.
Therefore, we believe it is appropriate
that our review of proposed broadcast
investments remain on a case-by-case
basis and be allowed to mature before
we consider comprehensive rules and
procedures similar to those applicable
to foreign investment in common carrier
licensees.32
16. Some commenters have asserted
that the underlying national security
rationale for section 310(b)(4) in the
broadcast area, protection from foreign
propaganda on radio and television
stations, no longer exists. Although
many new potential threats and national
security issues have arisen as
technology has advanced,33 we do not
believe that the historical statutory
concern for foreign influence over
broadcast stations has disappeared.
Broadcast stations are licensed to serve
the needs and interests of local U.S.
communities. They uniquely offer a
range of critical information services to
the American public, including, for
instance, the provision of local, state,
national, and international news,
national Emergency Alerts, local severe
weather alerts, Amber Alerts for missing
children, and homeland security
information. Ensuring that the
ownership of broadcast licensees serves
the public interest is embodied in a
statutory directive with which we must
faithfully comply and we will evaluate
applications proposing foreign
broadcast ownership accordingly. In
particular, we will address each specific
situation in terms of its potential public
interest benefits and any relevant public
interest concerns, including national
security concerns, consistent with the
statute and this Declaratory Ruling.

IV. Ordering Clause
17. Accordingly, it is ordered that,
pursuant to the authority contained in
sections 4(i) and 310(b) of the
Communications Act of 1934, as
amended, 47 U.S.C. 154(i), 310(b), 5
U.S.C. 554(e) and § 1.2 of the
Commission’s rules, 47 CFR 1.2, this
Declaratory Ruling in MB Docket No.
13–50 is adopted.
32 Some commenters raise additional suggestions
for Commission review of foreign investment in
broadcast licensees. Although many of these
recommendations proffer thoughtful contributions
to the proceeding record, it is premature to adopt
them at this time. Our consideration of the
numerous overarching issues involved in this area
is ongoing. As we continue to address applications
on a case-by-case basis, we will ascertain whether
it is appropriate to conduct a rulemaking
proceeding.

Proposed Project
Chemical Emergencies Audience
Analysis—New—Agency for Toxic
Substances and Disease Registry
(ATSDR).
Background and Brief Description
The National Center for
Environmental Health (NCEH) and the
Agency for Toxic Substances and
Disease Registry (ATSDR) play a vital
role in mitigating chemical-related risks
to public health. As part of that role,
both agencies are responsible for
assessing, minimizing, and monitoring
risks to public health, and are tasked
with providing trusted, accurate health
information to the public. Given that
both agencies are under the same
leadership, information collected to
inform health communications will be
of value to both agencies.
The Office of Communications is
seeking a one-year OMB-approval for an
initiative to increase the effectiveness of
the agencies’ communications related to
both unintentional and intentional
chemical releases. In order to inform the
development of messages and materials,
the Office of Communications would
like to understand the knowledge,
attitudes, and behaviors (KAB) of key
professional audiences who are
involved in the immediate aftermath of
chemical emergencies. In consultation
with Subject Matter Experts, the Office
of Communications prioritized the
following professional audiences for
this research:
• First responders, including police, fire
fighters and emergency medical
service workers
• Emergency department personnel,
both clinical and non-clinical
• Environmental and public health
professionals at the city, county and
state levels
• Poison Control Center directors and
staff
This information collection seeks to
characterize what these key
professionals know and believe about
chemical emergency events, what
related activities and behaviors they
engage in or would engage in, what
information these audiences want, and
what their challenges and concerns are.
This information collection seeks
approval to obtain data using two
qualitative data collection methods. The
first method includes focus groups to
explore the KAB of members of these
key professions in a group setting,
allowing for dialogue between
participants to provide the Office of
Communications with in-depth
information about this complex topic.
Focus groups will take place remotely
using Webinar technology, and
participants will join the discussion by
telephone. Although the Recruitment
Screeners vary by respondent type, the
same Moderator’s Guide will be used for
all focus groups. The second part of this
information collection will include
individual interviews with state-level
environmental health professionals and
Poison Control Center directors.
Individual interviews will allow the
agencies to gather in-depth information
about state-level response structures and
Poison Control Centers. Interviews will
take place by telephone. To help ensure
that participants have some experience
responding to chemical emergencies,
participants will be recruited from five
states with the highest number of
chemical emergencies, and within those
states, from the areas where the highest
number of incidents have occurred.
There are no costs to respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated annual burden hours are 138
hours.
