    Privacy Impact Assessment(s): The FCC is preparing a PIA.
    Needs and Uses: The information collection requirements that are 
approved under this collection are as follows:
    47 CFR 73.1212 requires a broadcast station to identify at the time 
of broadcast the sponsor of any matter for which consideration is 
provided. For advertising commercial products or services, generally 
the mention of the name of the product or service constitutes 
sponsorship identification. In the case of television political 
advertisements concerning candidates for public office, the sponsor 
shall be identified with letters equal to or greater than four (4) 
percent of the vertical height of the television screen that airs for 
no less than four (4) seconds. In addition, when an entity rather than 
an individual sponsors the broadcast of matter that is of a political 
or controversial nature, licensee is required to retain a list of the 
executive officers, or board of directors, or executive committee, 
etc., of the organization paying for such matter. Sponsorship 
announcements are waived with respect to the broadcast of ``want ads'' 
sponsored by an individual but the licensee shall maintain a list 
showing the name, address and telephone number of each such advertiser. 
These lists shall be made available for public inspection.
    47 CFR 73.1212(e) states that, when an entity rather than an 
individual sponsors the broadcast of matter that is of a political or 
controversial nature, the licensee is required to retain a list of the 
executive officers, or board of directors, or executive committee, 
etc., of the organization paying for such matter in its public file. 
Pursuant to the changes contained in 47 CFR 73.1212(e) and 47 CFR 
73.3526(e)(19), this list, which could contain personally identifiable 
information, would be located in a public inspection file to be located 
on the Commission's Web site instead of being maintained in the public 
file at the station. Burden estimates for this change are included in 
OMB Control Number 3060-0214.
    47 CFR 76.1615 states that, when a cable operator engaged in 
origination cablecasting presents any matter for which money, service 
or other valuable consideration is provided to such cable television 
system operator, the cable television system operator, at the time of 
the telecast, shall identify the sponsor. Under this rule section, when 
advertising commercial products or services, an announcement stating 
the sponsor's corporate or trade name, or the name of the sponsor's 
product is sufficient when it is clear that the mention of the name of 
the product constitutes a sponsorship identification. In the case of 
television political advertisements concerning candidates for public 
office, the sponsor shall be identified with letters equal to or 
greater than four (4) percent of the vertical height of the television 
screen that airs for no less than four (4) seconds.
    47 CFR 76.1715 state that, with respect to sponsorship 
announcements that are waived when the broadcast/origination cablecast 
of ``want ads'' sponsored by an individual, the licensee/operator shall 
maintain a list showing the name, address and telephone number of each 
such advertiser. These lists shall be made available for public 
inspection.
