In the Incentive Auction R&O, the
Commission directed the Office of
Engineering and Technology (OET) to
release a detailed summary of baseline
coverage area and population served by
each television station to be protected in
the repacking process. Incentive Auction
R&O, 29 FCC Rcd at 6635, para. 145.
The final baseline released by OET will
contain the final list of eligible stations
based on corrections to eligible facilities
resulting from their certification in the
Pre-Auction Technical Certification
Form and any granted Petitions for
Eligible Entity Status or Petitions for
Reconsideration of the Incentive
Auction R&O. Several parties have filed
petitions for reconsideration of the
Incentive Auction R&O requesting that
discretionary protection be extended to
facilities not currently protected under
the R&O. The Commission is currently
considering those petitions and the
attached Appendix is not intended to
pre-judge their outcome. If the
Commission grants a petition for
reconsideration and extends
discretionary protection to a different
facility, or a facility that is not currently
listed in the Appendix, the licensee
must file a Pre-Auction Technical
Certification Form for each eligible
facility no later than seven (7) days after
release of the Commission’s decision or
by July 9, 2015, whichever is later.
This action is taken by the Media
Bureau pursuant to authority delegated
by 47 CFR 0.283 of the Commission’s
rules.

SUMMARY:
following information collections.
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 Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) 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 OMB
control number.
DATES: Written comments should be
submitted on or before August 7, 2015.
If you anticipate that you will be
submitting comments, but find it
difficult to do so within the period of
time allowed by this notice, you should

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB
Control Number: 3060–0550.
Title: Local Franchising Authority
Certification, FCC Form 328; Section
76.910, Franchising Authority
Certification.
Form No.: FCC Form 328.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: State, local or tribal
governments; Businesses or other forprofit entities.
Number of Respondents and
Responses: 7 respondents; 13 responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 2
hours.
Frequency of Response: One-time
reporting requirement; Third party
disclosure requirement.
Obligation To Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. The statutory
authority for this collection of
information is contained in section 3 of
the Cable Television Consumer
Protection and Competition Act of 1992
(47 U.S.C. 543), as well as sections 4(i),
4(j), and 623 of the Communications Act
of 1934, as amended, and section 111 of
the STELA Reauthorization Act of 2014.
Total Annual Burden: 26 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: On June 3, 2015, the
Commission released a Report and
Order, MB Docket No. 15–53; FCC 15–
62. The Report and Order adopted a
rebuttable presumption that cable
operators are subject to competing
provider effective competition.
The information collection
requirements consist of:
FCC Form 328. Pursuant to section
76.910, a franchising authority must be
certified by the Commission to regulate
the basic service tier and associated
equipment of a cable system within its
jurisdiction. To obtain this certification,
the franchising authority must prepare
and submit FCC Form 328. The Report
and Order revises section 76.910 to
require a franchising authority filing
Form 328 to submit specific evidence
demonstrating its rebuttal of the
presumption in section 76.906 that the
cable system is subject to competing
provider effective competition pursuant
to section 76.905(b)(2). The franchising
authority bears the burden of submitting
evidence rebutting the presumption that
competing provider effective
competition, as defined in section
76.905(b)(2), exists in the franchise area.

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 130 / Wednesday, July 8, 2015 / Notices
Unless a franchising authority has
actual knowledge to the contrary, it may
rely on the presumption in section
76.906 that the cable system is not
subject to one of the other three types
of effective competition.
Evidence establishing lack of effective
competition. If the evidence establishing
the lack of effective competition is not
otherwise available, section 76.910(b)(4)
provides that franchising authorities
may request from a multichannel video
programming distributor (‘‘MVPD’’)
information regarding the MVPD’s reach
and number of subscribers. An MVPD
must respond to such request within 15
days. Such responses may be limited to
numerical totals.
Franchising authority’s obligations if
certified. Section 76.910(e) of the
Commission’s rules currently provides
that, unless the Commission notifies the
franchising authority otherwise, the
certification will become effective 30
days after the date filed, provided,
however, that the franchising authority
may not regulate the rates of a cable
system unless it: (1) Adopts regulations
(i) consistent with the Commission’s
regulations governing the basic tier and
(ii) providing a reasonable opportunity
for consideration of the views of
interested parties, within 120 days of
the effective date of the certification;
and (2) notifies the cable operator that
the franchising authority has been
certified and has adopted the required
regulations.
OMB Control Number: 3060–0560.
Title: Section 76.911, Petition for
Reconsideration of Certification.
Form No.: N/A.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: State, local or tribal
governments; Businesses or other forprofit entities.
Number of Respondents and
Responses: 15 respondents; 25
responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 2–10
hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion
reporting requirement; Third party
disclosure requirement.
Obligation To Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. The statutory
authority for this collection of
information is contained in sections 4(i)
and 623 of the Communications Act of
1934, as amended.
Total Annual Burden: 130 hours.
Total Annual Cost: None.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No

rebuttable presumption that cable
operators are subject to competing
provider effective competition.
Reversing the previous rebuttable
presumption of no effective competition
and adopting the procedures discussed
in the Report and Order will result in
changes to the information collection
burdens.
The information collection
requirements consist of: Petitions for
reconsideration of certification,
oppositions and replies thereto, cable

a rebuttable presumption that cable operators are subject to competing
provider effective competition.
The information collection requirements consist of:
FCC Form 328. Pursuant to section 76.910, a franchising authority
must be certified by the Commission to regulate the basic service tier
and associated equipment of a cable system within its jurisdiction. To
obtain this certification, the franchising authority must prepare and
submit FCC Form 328. The Report and Order revises section 76.910 to
require a franchising authority filing Form 328 to submit specific
evidence demonstrating its rebuttal of the presumption in section
76.906 that the cable system is subject to competing provider effective
competition pursuant to section 76.905(b)(2). The franchising authority
bears the burden of submitting evidence rebutting the presumption that
competing provider effective competition, as defined in section
76.905(b)(2), exists in the franchise area.
[[Page 39112]]
Unless a franchising authority has actual knowledge to the contrary, it
may rely on the presumption in section 76.906 that the cable system is
not subject to one of the other three types of effective competition.
Evidence establishing lack of effective competition. If the
evidence establishing the lack of effective competition is not
otherwise available, section 76.910(b)(4) provides that franchising
authorities may request from a multichannel video programming
distributor (``MVPD'') information regarding the MVPD's reach and
number of subscribers. An MVPD must respond to such request within 15
days. Such responses may be limited to numerical totals.
Franchising authority's obligations if certified. Section 76.910(e)
of the Commission's rules currently provides that, unless the
Commission notifies the franchising authority otherwise, the
certification will become effective 30 days after the date filed,
provided, however, that the franchising authority may not regulate the
rates of a cable system unless it: (1) Adopts regulations (i)
consistent with the Commission's regulations governing the basic tier
and (ii) providing a reasonable opportunity for consideration of the
views of interested parties, within 120 days of the effective date of
the certification; and (2) notifies the cable operator that the
franchising authority has been certified and has adopted the required
regulations.
