The Report and Order imposes the following information VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:54 Jul 11, 2017 Jkt 241001 collection requirements on NCE stations: Audience Disclosure: The information collection requirements contained in 47 CFR 73.503(e)(1) requires that a noncommercial educational FM broadcast station that interrupts regular programming to conduct fundraising activities on behalf of third-party nonprofit organizations must air a disclosure during such activities clearly stating that the fundraiser is not for the benefit of the station itself and identifying the entity for which it is fundraising. The information collection requirements contained in 47 CFR 73.621(f)(1) requires that a noncommercial educational TV broadcast station that interrupts regular programming to conduct fundraising activities on behalf of third-party nonprofit organizations must air a disclosure during such activities clearly stating that the fundraiser is not for the benefit of the station itself and identifying the entity for which it is fundraising.

Retention of information on fundraising activities in local public inspection file: The information collection requirements contained in 47 CFR 73.3527(e)(14) requires that each noncommercial educational FM broadcast station and noncommercial educational TV broadcast station that interrupts regular programming to conduct fundraising activities on behalf of a third-party non-profit organization must place in its local public inspection file, on a quarterly basis, the following information for each third-party fundraising program or activity: The date, time, and duration of the fundraiser; the type of fundraising activity; the name of the non-profit organization benefitted by the fundraiser; a brief description of the specific cause or project, if any, supported by the fundraiser; and, to the extent that the station participated in tallying or receiving any funds for the non-profit group, an approximation, to the nearest $10,000, of the total funds raised. The information for each calendar quarter is to be filed by the tenth day of the succeeding calendar quarter (e.g., January 10 for the quarter October–December, April 10 for the quarter January–March, etc.).

    Needs and Uses: On April 20, 2017, the Commission adopted a Report 
and Order in MB Docket No. 12-106, FCC 17-41, In the Matter of 
Noncommercial Educational Station Fundraising for Third-Party Non-
Profit Organizations. Under the Commission's existing rules, a 
noncommercial educational (NCE) broadcast station may not conduct 
fundraising activities to benefit any entity besides the station itself 
if the activities would substantially alter or suspend regular 
programming. The Report and Order relaxes the rules to allow NCE 
stations to spend up to one percent of their total annual airtime 
conducting on-air fundraising activities that interrupt regular 
programming for the benefit of third-party non-profit organizations. 
The Report and Order imposes the following information collection 
requirements on NCE stations:
    Audience Disclosure: The information collection requirements 
contained in 47 CFR 73.503(e)(1) requires that a noncommercial 
educational FM broadcast station that interrupts regular programming to 
conduct fundraising activities on behalf of third-party non-profit 
organizations must air a disclosure during such activities clearly 
stating that the fundraiser is not for the benefit of the station 
itself and identifying the entity for which it is fundraising. The 
information collection requirements contained in 47 CFR 73.621(f)(1) 
requires that a noncommercial educational TV broadcast station that 
interrupts regular programming to conduct fundraising activities on 
behalf of third-party non-profit organizations must air a disclosure 
during such activities clearly stating that the fundraiser is not for 
the benefit of the station itself and identifying the entity for which 
it is fundraising. The audience disclosure must be aired at the 
beginning and the end of each fundraising program and at least once 
during each hour in which the program is on the air.
    Retention of information on fundraising activities in local public 
inspection file: The information collection requirements contained in 
47 CFR 73.3527(e)(14) requires that each noncommercial educational FM 
broadcast station and noncommercial educational TV broadcast station 
that interrupts regular programming to conduct fundraising activities 
on behalf of a third-party non-profit organization must place in its 
local public inspection file, on a quarterly basis, the following 
information for each third-party fundraising program or activity: The 
date, time, and duration of the fundraiser; the type of fundraising 
activity; the name of the non-profit organization benefitted by the 
fundraiser; a brief description of the specific cause or project, if 
any, supported by the fundraiser; and, to the extent that the station 
participated in tallying or receiving any funds for the non-profit 
group, an approximation, to the nearest $10,000, of the total funds 
raised. The information for each calendar quarter is to be filed by the 
tenth day of the succeeding calendar quarter (e.g., January 10 for the 
quarter October-December, April 10 for the quarter January-March, 
etc.).
