future unsolicited facsimile
advertisements from the sender; (2)
Established Business Relationship
Recordkeeping whereas the Junk Fax
Prevention Act provides that the sender,
e.g., a person, business, or a nonprofit/
institution, is prohibited from faxing an
unsolicited advertisement to a facsimile
machine unless the sender has an
‘‘established business relationship’’
(EBR) with the recipient; (3) Facsimile
Number Recordkeeping in which the
Junk Fax Prevention Act provides that
an EBR alone does not entitle a sender
to fax an advertisement to an individual
or business. The fax number must also
be provided voluntarily by the recipient;
and (4) Express Invitation or Permission
Recordkeeping where in the absence of
an EBR, the sender must obtain the prior
express invitation or permission from
the consumer before sending the
facsimile advertisement.
On October 14, 2008, the Commission
released an Order on Reconsideration,
FCC 08–239, addressing certain issues
raised in petitions for reconsideration
and/or clarification filed in response to
the Commission’s Report and Order and
Third Order on Reconsideration (Junk
Fax Order), FCC 06–42. In document
FCC 08–239, the Commission clarified
that: (1) Facsimile numbers compiled by
third parties on behalf of the facsimile
sender will be presumed to have been
made voluntarily available for public
distribution so long as they are obtained
from the intended recipient’s own
directory, advertisement, or Internet
site; (2) reasonable steps to verify that a
recipient has agreed to make available a
facsimile number for public distribution
may include methods other than direct
contact with the recipient; and (3) a
description of the facsimile sender’s
opt-out mechanism on the first Web
page to which recipients are directed in
the opt-out notice satisfies the
requirement that such a description
appear on the first page of the Web site.
The Commission believes these
clarifications will assist senders of
facsimile advertisements in complying
with the Commission’s rules in a
manner that minimizes regulatory
compliance costs while maintaining the
protections afforded consumers under
the Telephone Consumer Protection Act
(TCPA).

hours (15 minutes).
Frequency of Response: Third party

Total Annual Burden: 3 hours.

order to monitor regulatory compliance.
The statutory authority for this
collection of information is contained in
sections 4, 303, 614 and 615 of the
Communications Act of 1934, as
amended.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is no need for confidentiality with
this collection of information.
Privacy Impact Assessment(s): No
impact(s).
Needs and Uses: The information
collection imposes a notification
requirement on certain small cable
systems that become ineligible for
exemption from the requirement to
carry high definition broadcast signals
in HD (adopted in FCC 15–65). In
particular, the information collection
requires that, beginning December 12,
2016, at the time a small cable system
utilizing the HD carriage exemption
offers any programming in HD, the
system must give notice that it is
offering HD programming to all
broadcast stations in its market that are
carried on its system. Cable operators
must also keep records of such
notification. This information collection
requirement allows affected broadcast
stations to monitor compliance with the
requirement that cable operators
transmit high definition broadcast
signals in HD.

replacement translator shall be limited
to only a demonstrated loss area.
However, an applicant for a
replacement digital television translator
may propose a de minimis expansion of
its full power pre-transition analog
service area upon demonstrating that it
is necessary to replace its post-incentive
auction digital loss area.
