Invoices, receipts, contracts and other
cost documentation submitted along
with the form will be kept confidential
in order to protect the identification of
vendors and the terms of private
contracts between parties. Vendor name
and Employer Identification Numbers
(EIN) or Taxpayer Identification Number
(TIN) will not be disclosed to the public.
Needs and Uses: The following is a
summary of each rule section which
contains information collection
requirements for which the Commission
seeks continued approval from the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB):
(a) Section 73.3700(e)(2) requires all
broadcast television station licensees
and multichannel video programming
distributors (MVPDs) that are eligible to
receive payment of relocation costs to
file an estimated cost form providing an
estimate of their reasonably incurred
relocation costs no later than three
months following the release of the
Channel Reassignment Public Notice. If
a broadcast television station licensee or
MVPD seeks reimbursement for new
equipment, it must provide a
justification as to why it is reasonable
under the circumstances to purchase
new equipment rather than modify its
corresponding current equipment in
order to change channels or to continue
to carry the signal of a broadcast
television station that changes channels.
Entities that submit their own cost
estimates, as opposed to the
predetermined cost estimates provided
in the estimated cost form, must submit
supporting evidence and certify that the
estimate is made in good faith. Entities
must also update the form if
circumstances change significantly.
(b) Section 73.3700(e)(3) requires all
broadcast television station licensees
and MVPDs that received an initial
allocation from the TV Broadcaster
Relocation Fund, upon completing
construction or other reimbursable
changes, or by a specific deadline prior
to the end of the Reimbursement Period
to be established by the Media Bureau,
whichever is earlier, to provide the
Commission with information and
documentation, including invoices and
receipts, regarding their actual expenses
incurred as of a date to be determined
by the Media Bureau. If a broadcast
television station licensee or MVPD has
not yet completed construction or other
reimbursable changes by the Final
Allocation Deadline, it must provide the
Commission with information and
documentation regarding any remaining
eligible expenses that it expects to
reasonably incur.

(c) Section 73.3700(e)(4) requires
broadcast television station licensees
and MVPDs that have received money
from the TV Broadcaster Relocation
Fund, after completing all construction
or reimbursable changes, to submit final
expense documentation containing a list
of estimated expenses and actual
expenses as of a date to be determined
by the Media Bureau. Entities that have
finished construction and have
submitted all actual expense
documentation by the Final Allocation
Deadline will not be required to file at
the final accounting stage.
(d) Section 73.3700(e)(6) requires
broadcast television station licensees
and MVPDs that receive payment from
the TV Broadcaster Relocation Fund to
retain all relevant documents pertaining
to construction or other reimbursable
changes for a period ending not less
than 10 years after the date on which it
receives final payment from the TV
Broadcaster Relocation Fund and to
make available all relevant
documentation upon request from the
Commission or its contractor.

Privacy Impact Assessment(s): No

Needs and Uses: The Commission
adopted the Contest Rule in 1976 to
address concerns about the manner in
which broadcast stations were
conducting contests over the air. The
Contest Rule generally requires stations
to broadcast material contest terms fully
and accurately the first time the
audience is told how to participate in a
contest, and periodically thereafter. In
addition, stations must conduct contests
substantially as announced. These
information collection requirements are
necessary to ensure that broadcast
licensees conduct contests with due
regard for the public interest.
The Contest Rule permit broadcasters
to meet their obligation to disclose
contest material terms on an internet
website in lieu of making broadcast
announcements. Under the amended
Contest Rule, broadcasters are required
to (i) announce the relevant internet
website address on air the first time the
audience is told about the contest and
periodically thereafter; (ii) disclose the
material contest terms fully and
accurately on a publicly accessible
internet website, establishing a link or
tab to such terms through a link or tab
on the announced website’s home page,
and ensure that any material terms
disclosed on such a website conform in
all substantive respects to those
mentioned over the air; (iii) maintain
contest material terms online for at least
thirty days after the contest has ended;
and (v) announce on air that the
material terms of a contest have changed
(where that is the case) within 24 hours
of the change in terms on a website, and
periodically thereafter, and to direct
consumers to the website to review the
changes.

ACTION: Request for Public Comment.
AGENCY:
The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF), U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) is proposing data
collection activities as part of the Health
Profession Opportunity Grants (HPOG)
to Serve TANF Recipients and Other
Low Income Individuals. ACF has
developed a multi-pronged research and
evaluation approach for the HPOG
Program to better understand and assess
the activities conducted and their
results. Two rounds of HPOG grants
have been awarded—the first in 2010
(HPOG 1.0) and the second in 2015
(HPOG 2.0). There are federal
evaluations associated with each round
of grants. HPOG grants provide funding
to government agencies, communitybased organizations, post-secondary
educational institutions, and tribalaffiliated organizations to provide
education and training services to
Temporary Assistance for Needy
Families (TANF) recipients and other
low-income individuals, including
tribal members. Under HPOG 2.0, ACF
provided grants to five tribal-affiliated
organizations and 27 non-tribal entities.
OMB previously approved data
collection under OMB Control Number
0970–0462 for the HPOG 2.0 National
and Tribal Evaluation. The first
submission, approved in August 2015,
included baseline data collection
instruments and the grant performance
management system. A second

submission, approved in June 2017,
included additional data collection for
the National Evaluation impact study,
the National Evaluation descriptive
study, and the Tribal Evaluation. A
third submission for National
Evaluation impact study data collection
was approved in June 2018. The
proposed data collection activities
described in this Federal Register
Notice will provide data for the impact,
descriptive, and cost benefit studies of
the 27 non-tribal grantees participating
in the National Evaluation of HPOG 2.0.
DATES: Comments due within 60 days of
publication. In compliance with the
requirements of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
the Administration for Children and
Families is soliciting public comment
on the specific aspects of the
information collection described above.
ADDRESSES: Copies of the proposed
collection of information can be
obtained and comments may be
forwarded by writing to the
Administration for Children and
Families, Office of Planning, Research,
and Evaluation, 330 C Street SW,
Washington, DC 20201, Attn: OPRE
Reports Clearance Officer. Email
address: OPREinfocollection@
acf.hhs.gov. All requests should be
identified by the title of the information
collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The National Evaluation
pertains only to the 27 non-tribal
grantees that received HPOG 2.0
funding. The design for the National
Evaluation features an impact study, a
descriptive study, and a cost benefit
study. The National Evaluation is using
an experimental design to measure and
analyze key participant outcomes
including completion of education and
training, receipt of certificates and/or
degrees, earnings, and employment in a
healthcare career. The impact
evaluation will assess the outcomes for
study participants that were offered
HPOG 2.0 training, financial assistance,
and support services, compared to
outcomes for a control group that were
not offered HPOG 2.0 services.
ACF and the study team estimates
that the non-tribal grantees will
randomize about 40,000 applicants. As
detailed in the burden estimates below,
the study team will only survey a subset
of those randomized.
The goal of the descriptive study is to
describe and assess the implementation,
systems change, outcomes, and other
important information about the
operations of the 27 non-tribal HPOG
grantees, which are operating 38 distinct
programs. To achieve these goals, it is

Needs and Uses: The following is a summary of each rule section
which contains information collection requirements for which the
Commission seeks continued approval from the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB):
(a) Section 73.3700(e)(2) requires all broadcast television station
licensees and multichannel video programming distributors (MVPDs) that
are eligible to receive payment of relocation costs to file an
estimated cost form providing an estimate of their reasonably incurred
relocation costs no later than three months following the release of
the Channel Reassignment Public Notice. If a broadcast television
station licensee or MVPD seeks reimbursement for new equipment, it must
provide a justification as to why it is reasonable under the
circumstances to purchase new equipment rather than modify its
corresponding current equipment in order to change channels or to
continue to carry the signal of a broadcast television station that
changes channels. Entities that submit their own cost estimates, as
opposed to the predetermined cost estimates provided in the estimated
cost form, must submit supporting evidence and certify that the
estimate is made in good faith. Entities must also update the form if
circumstances change significantly.
(b) Section 73.3700(e)(3) requires all broadcast television station
licensees and MVPDs that received an initial allocation from the TV
Broadcaster Relocation Fund, upon completing construction or other
reimbursable changes, or by a specific deadline prior to the end of the
Reimbursement Period to be established by the Media Bureau, whichever
is earlier, to provide the Commission with information and
documentation, including invoices and receipts, regarding their actual
expenses incurred as of a date to be determined by the Media Bureau. If
a broadcast television station licensee or MVPD has not yet completed
construction or other reimbursable changes by the Final Allocation
Deadline, it must provide the Commission with information and
documentation regarding any remaining eligible expenses that it expects
to reasonably incur.
(c) Section 73.3700(e)(4) requires broadcast television station
licensees and MVPDs that have received money from the TV Broadcaster
Relocation Fund, after completing all construction or reimbursable
changes, to submit final expense documentation containing a list of
estimated expenses and actual expenses as of a date to be determined by
the Media Bureau. Entities that have finished construction and have
submitted all actual expense documentation by the Final Allocation
Deadline will not be required to file at the final accounting stage.
(d) Section 73.3700(e)(6) requires broadcast television station
licensees and MVPDs that receive payment from the TV Broadcaster
Relocation Fund to retain all relevant documents pertaining to
construction or other reimbursable changes for a period ending not less
than 10 years after the date on which it receives final payment from
the TV Broadcaster Relocation Fund and to make available all relevant
documentation upon request from the Commission or its contractor.

Privacy Impact Assessment(s): No impact(s).
Needs and Uses: The Commission adopted the Contest Rule in 1976 to
address concerns about the manner in which broadcast stations were
conducting contests over the air. The Contest Rule generally requires
stations to broadcast material contest terms fully and accurately the
first time the audience is told how to participate in a contest, and
periodically thereafter. In addition, stations must conduct contests
substantially as announced. These information collection requirements
are necessary to ensure that broadcast licensees conduct contests with
due regard for the public interest.
The Contest Rule permit broadcasters to meet their obligation to
disclose contest material terms on an internet website in lieu of
making broadcast announcements. Under the amended Contest Rule,
broadcasters are required to (i) announce the relevant internet website
address on air the first time the audience is told about the contest
and periodically thereafter; (ii) disclose the material contest terms
fully and accurately on a publicly accessible internet website,
establishing a link or tab to such terms through a link or tab on the
announced website's home page, and ensure that any material terms
disclosed on such a website conform in all substantive respects to
those mentioned over the air; (iii) maintain contest material terms
online for at least thirty days after the contest has ended; and (v)
announce on air that the material terms of a contest have changed
(where that is the case) within 24 hours of the change in terms on a
website, and periodically thereafter, and to direct consumers to the
website to review the changes.
