    Commercial full-power and Class A television stations are required 
to complete FCC Form 398 each calendar quarter and to place the form in 
the station's public inspection file. Stations must also file the form 
each quarter with the Commission. Stations use FCC Form 398 to report, 
among other things, the core children's educational and informational 
programs the station aired the previous calendar quarter and the core 
programs they plan to air in the upcoming calendar quarter. FCC Form 
398 also includes a ``Preemption Report'' that must be completed for 
each core program that was preempted during the quarter. This 
``Preemption Report'' requests information on the date of each 
preemption, the reason for the preemption and, if the program was 
rescheduled, the date and time the program was re-aired.

    Needs and Uses: 47 CFR 76.970(h) requires cable operators to 
provide the following information within 15 calendar days of a request 
regarding leased access (for systems subject to small system relief, 
cable operators are required to provide the following information 
within 30 days of a request regarding leased access):
    (a) A complete schedule of the operator's full-time and part-time 
leased access rates;
    (b) How much of the cable operator's leased access set-aside 
capacity is available;
    (c) Rates associated with technical and studio costs;
    (d) If specifically requested, a sample leased access contract; and
    (e) Operators must maintain supporting documentation to justify 
scheduled rates in their files.
    47 CFR 76.971 requires cable operators to provide billing and 
collection services to leased access programmers unless they can 
demonstrate the existence of third party billing and collection 
services which, in terms of cost and accessibility, offer leased access 
programmers an alternative substantially equivalent to that offered to 
comparable non-leased access programmers.
    47 CFR 76.975(b) requires that persons alleging that a cable 
operator's leased access rate is unreasonable must receive a 
determination of the cable operator's maximum permitted rate from an 
independent accountant prior to filing a petition for relief with the

    47 CFR 76.975(c) requires that petitioners attach a copy of the

    Title: Sections 73.88, 73.318, 73.685 and 73.1630, Blanketing 
Interference.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities; and not-for-
profit institutions.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 21,000 respondents; 21,000 
responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 1 to 2 hours.
    Frequency of Response: Third party disclosure requirement.
    Total Annual Burden: 41,000 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: None.
    Obligation To Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. The 
statutory authority for this collection of information is contained in 
Section 154(i) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended.
    Nature and Extend of Confidentiality: There is no need for 
confidentiality with this collection of information.
    Privacy Impact Assessment(s): No impact(s).
    Needs and Uses: 47 CFR 73.88 states that the licensee of each 
broadcast station is required to satisfy all reasonable complaints of 
blanketing interference within the 1 V/m contour.
    47 CFR 73.318(b) states that after January 1, 1985, permittees or 
licensees who either (1) commence program tests, (2) replace the 
antennas, or (3) request facilities modifications and are issued a new 
construction permit must satisfy all complaints of blanketing 
interference which are received by the station during a one year 
period.
    47 CFR 73.318(c) states that a permittee collocating with one or 
more existing stations and beginning program tests on or after January 
1, 1985, must assume full financial responsibility for remedying new 
complaints of blanketing interference for a period of one year.
    Under 47 CFR 73.88, and 73.685(d), the license is financially 
responsible for resolving complaints of interference within one year of 
program test authority when certain conditions are met. After the first 
year, a license is only required to provide technical assistance to 
determine the cause of interference. The FCC has an outstanding Notice 
of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) in MM Docket No. 96-62, In the Matter of 
Amendment of Part 73 of the Commission's Rules to More Effectively 
Resolve Broadcast Blanketing Interference, Including Interference to 
Consumer Electronics and Other Communications Devices. The NPRM has 
proposed to provide detailed clarification of the AM, FM, and TV 
licensee's responsibilities in resolving/eliminating blanketing 
interference caused by their individual stations. The NPRM has also 
proposed to consolidate all blanketing interference rules under a new 
section 47 CFR 73.1630, ``Blanketing Interference.'' This new rule has 
been designed to facilitate the resolution of broadcast interference 
problems and set forth all responsibilities of the licensee/permittee 
of a broadcast station. To date, final rules have not been adopted.
