AGENCY:
As part of its continuing effort
to reduce paperwork burdens, and as
required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501–
3520), the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC or the Commission)
invites the general public and other
Federal agencies to take this
opportunity to comment on the
following information collection.
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

Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities, not-for-profit institutions
and state, local or tribal government.
Number of Respondents: 645
respondents; 645 responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 8
hours.
Frequency of Response:
Recordkeeping requirement, third party
disclosure requirement and on occasion
reporting requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. Statutory
authority for this information collection
is contained in 47 U.S.C. 251 of the
Telecommunications Act of 1996.
Total Annual Burden: 5,160 hours.

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
The Commission is not requesting
respondents to submit or disclose
confidential information. However, in
certain circumstances, respondents may
voluntarily choose to submit
confidential information pursuant to
applicable confidentiality rules.
Needs and Uses: In the Order on
Remand, the Commission imposed
unbundling obligations in a more
targeted manner where requesting
carriers have undertaken their own
facilities-based investments and will be
using UNEs (unbundled network
elements) in conjunction with selfprovisioned facilities. The Commission
also eliminated the subdelegation of

authority to state commissions adopted
in the previous order. Prior to the
issuance of the Order, the Commission
sought comment on issues relating to
combinations of UNEs, called
‘‘enhanced extended links’’ (EELs), in
order to effectively tailor access to EELs
to those carriers seeking to provide
significant local usage to end users. In
the Order, the Commission adopted
three specific service eligibility criteria
for access to EELs in accordance with
Commission rules.

Class A stations assigned to a new

release of the Channel Reassignment

circumstances, licensees of stations
reassigned to a new channel within
their existing band to propose
transmission facilities in their

stations that, for reasons beyond their
control, are unable to construct facilities
that meet the technical parameters
specified in the Channel Reassignment
Public Notice, or the permissible
contour coverage variance from those
technical parameters specified in
section 73.3700(b)(1)(ii) or (iii). Channel
sharee stations file a minor change
application for a construction permit for
the channel on which the channel
sharer operates at least sixty (60) days
prior to the date by which it must
terminate operations on its pre-auction
channel and must include a copy of the
channel sharing agreement. In addition,
subject to limitations set out in the
rules, a Class A licensee of a reassigned
station, a UHF-to-VHF station, or a
High-VHF-to-Low-VHF station may file
a minor change application for a
construction permit on FCC Form 2100

announced by the Media Bureau by
public notice, in order to request a
change in the technical parameters
specified in the Channel Reassignment

(Spectrum Act). The information gathered in this collection will be
used to require broadcasters transitioning to a new station following
the Incentive Auction, or going off the air as a result of a winning
bid in the Incentive Auction, to notify their viewers of the date the
station will terminate operations on its pre-Auction channel by running
public service announcements, and allow these broadcasters to inform
MVPDs of their relinquishment or change in channel. It requires channel
sharing agreements enter into by television broadcast licensees to
contain certain provisions regarding access to facilities, financial
obligations and to define each party's rights and responsibilities; the
Commission will review each channel sharing agreement to ensure it
comports with general rules and policies regarding license agreements.
The provisions contained in this collection also require wireless
licensees to notify low-power television and TV translator stations
commence wireless operations and the likelihood of receiving harmful
interference from the low power TV or TV translator station to such
operations within the wireless licensee's licensed geographic service
area. Finally, it requires license relinquishment stations and channel
sharing stations to comply with notification and cancellation
procedures as they terminate operations on their pre-Auction channel.

application on FCC Form 2100, Schedule E following release of the
Channel Reassignment Public Notice. Under certain circumstances,
licensees of stations reassigned to a new channel within their existing
band to propose transmission facilities in their construction permit
applications that will extend their coverage contours. In addition,
there will be a priority processing window for licensees of reassigned
stations, UHF-to-VHF stations, or High-VHF-to-Low-VHF stations that,
for reasons beyond their control, are unable to construct facilities
that meet the technical parameters specified in the Channel
Reassignment Public Notice, or the permissible contour coverage
variance from those technical parameters specified in section
73.3700(b)(1)(ii) or (iii). Channel sharee stations file a minor change
application for a construction permit for the channel on which the
channel sharer operates at least sixty (60) days prior to the date by
which it must terminate operations on its pre-auction channel and must
include a copy of the channel sharing agreement. In addition, subject
to limitations set out in the rules, a Class A licensee of a reassigned
station, a UHF-to-VHF station, or a High-VHF-to-Low-VHF station may
file a minor change application for a construction permit on FCC Form
2100 Schedule E during a filing window to be announced by the Media
Bureau by public notice, in order to request a change in the technical
parameters specified in the Channel Reassignment Public Notice with
respect to height above average terrain (HAAT), effective radiated
power (ERP), or transmitter location that would be considered a minor
change under sections 73.3572(a)(1), (2) or 74.787(b). FCC
