Annual Cost Burden: $26,451.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No
impact(s).
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
In general, there is no need for
confidentiality with this collection of
information.
Needs and Uses: The Federal
Communications Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) is requesting that the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) approve the establishment of a
new information collection titled,
‘‘Application for Permit to Deliver
Programs to Foreign Broadcast Stations
(FCC Form 308).’’ Applicants use the
FCC Form 308 to apply, under Section
325(c) of the Communications Act of
1934, as amended, for authority to
locate, use, or maintain a studio in the
United States for the purpose of
supplying program material to a foreign
radio or TV broadcast station whose
signals are consistently received in the
United States, or for extension of
existing authority.
Currently, the FCC Form 308 is only
available to the public in paper form.
The Commission obtained OMB
approval of a revised FCC Form 308, in
Excel format, that will be made
available to the public on the FCC
Forms page of the FCC’s Web site,
www.fcc.gov. The form was revised to
make it more user friendly and to
include questions to obtain only the
legal and technical information that is
essential to grant authority to U.S.
broadcasters to supply program material
to a foreign radio or TV broadcast
station whose signals are consistently
received in the U.S. or to extend the
current authority. After the applicant
completes the form, it is mailed to the
U.S. Bank along with the application
fee. Then, it is forwarded to the
International Bureau with the exception
of fee exempt applications which are
filed directly with the FCC Secretary’s
Office and then forwarded to the
Bureau.
FCC Form 308 applicants now have
the option to file their applicants in the
Electronic Comment Filing System
(ECFS) and make their payment of their
application filing fees electronically in
the FCC Fee Filer System. Please note
that this method is optional rather than
mandatory. We believe that the
availability of this option will
substantially decrease or eliminate
paper filings of FCC Form 308’s with the
Commission. This option will save time
for the applicant and Commission staff.
There are no other changes to the
information collection, including
burden estimates.
Without this collection of
information, the Commission would not

be able to ascertain whether the main
studio owner in the U.S. meets various
legal requirements or the foreign
broadcast facility, which receives and
retransmits programming from the main
studio in the U.S., meets various
technical requirements that prevent
harmful interference to other broadcast
stations or telecommunications
facilities.

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No
impact(s).
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
The Commission is not requesting
respondents to submit confidential
information. Any respondent that
submits information to the Commission
that they believe is confidential may
request confidential treatment of such
information under 47 CFR 0.459 of the
Commission’s rules.
Needs and Uses: The Commission
will submit this expiring information
collection to the OMB after this 60 day
comment period in order to obtain the
full three-year clearance from them. The
Commission is requesting an extension
(with no change in the reporting
requirement). There is no reduction in
the estimated number of respondents/
responses and the annual burden hours.
Although very few petitions for
preemption under section 253 have
been filed in the past few years, there is
reason to believe that the current
estimate is more likely to reflect future
developments than a reduction in the
number of estimated filings.
The Commission published a Public
Notice in November 1998 which
established suggested guidelines for the
filing of petitions for preemption
pursuant to section 253 of the
Communications Act of 1934, as
amended, as well as suggested
guidelines for the filing of comments
opposing such requests for preemption.
The Commission will use this
information to resolve petitions for
preemption of state or local statutes,
regulations, or other state or local legal
requirements that are alleged to prohibit
or have the effect of prohibiting any
entity from providing a
telecommunications service.
Section 253 of the Communications
Act of 1934, as amended, which was
added by the Telecommunications Act
of 1996, requires the Commission, with
certain important exceptions, to
preempt (to the extent necessary) the
enforcement of any state or local statute
or regulation, or other state or local legal
requirement that prohibits or has the
effect of prohibiting any entity from
providing any interstate or intrastate
telecommunications service. The
Commission’s consideration of
preemption under section 253 typically
begins with the filing of a petition by an
aggrieved party. The Commission
typically places such petitions on public
notice and requests comment by
interested parties. The Commission’s
decision is based on the public record,
generally composed of the petition and
comments. The Commission has
considered a number of preemption
items since the passage of the
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 244001
Telecommunications Act of 1996, and
believes it is in the public interest to
inform the public of the information
necessary for full consideration of the
issues likely to be involved in section
253 preemption proceedings. In order to
render a timely and informed decision,
the Commission expects petitioners and
commenters to provide it with relevant
information sufficient to describe the
legal regime involved in the controversy
and to provide the factual information
necessary for a decision.
