ACTION: Notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:
As part of its continuing effort
to reduce paperwork burdens, and as
required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act (PRA) of 1995, the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC or
Commission) invites the general public
and other Federal agencies to take this
opportunity to comment on the
following information collections.
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 OMB control
number. No person shall be subject to
any penalty for failing to comply with
a collection of information subject to the
PRA that does not display a valid OMB
control number.
DATES: Written PRA comments should
be submitted on or before July 8, 2019.
If you anticipate that you will be
submitting comments but find it
difficult to do so within the period of
time allowed by this notice, you should
advise the contact listed below as soon
as possible.

Total Annual Burden: 9,620 hours.
Total Annual Cost: $10,125,160.
Privacy Impact Assessment: The
Commission is drafting a Privacy Impact
Assessment (PIA) for the personally
identifiable information (PII) that is
covered by the system of records notice
(SORN), FCC/MB–1, Ownership Reports
for Commercial and Noncommercial
Broadcast Stations. Upon completion of
the PIA, it will be posted on the FCC’s
website, as required by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)
Memorandum, M–03–22 (September 22,
2003).
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
FCC Form 323 collects two types of
information from respondents: PII in the
form of names, addresses, job titles and
demographic information; and FCC
Registration Numbers (FRNs).
The FCC/MB–1 SORN, which was
approved on November 28, 2016 (81 FR
72047), covers the collection,
purpose(s), storage, safeguards, and
disposal of the PII that individual
respondents may submit on FCC Form
323, as required under the Privacy Act
of 1974, as amended (5 U.S.C. 552a).
FCC Form 323 includes a privacy
statement to inform applicants
(respondents) of the Commission’s need
to obtain the information and the
protections that the Commission has in
place to protect the PII.
FRNs are assigned to applicants who
complete FCC Form 160 (OMB Control
No. 3060–0917). Form 160 currently
requires applicants for FRNs to provide
their Taxpayer Information Number
(TIN) and/or Social Security Number
(SSN). The FCC’s electronic
Commission Registration System
(CORES) then provides each registrant
with a CORES FRN, which identifies the
registrant in his/her subsequent dealings
with the FCC. This is done to protect the
individual’s privacy.

Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 89 / Wednesday, May 8, 2019 / Notices
FCC Form 160 also enables applicants
to obtain a Restricted Use FRN, which
may be used on Form 323 to identify an
individual reported as an attributable
interest holder. Form 160 requires
applicants for Restricted Use FRNs to
provide an alternative set of identifying
information that does not include the
individual’s full SSN: His/her full name,
residential address, date of birth, and
only the last four digits of his/her SSN.
Restricted Use FRNs may be used in lieu
of CORES FRNs only on broadcast
ownership reports and only for
individuals (not entities) reported as
attributable interest holders.
The Commission maintains a SORN,
FCC/OMD–25, Financial Operations
Information System (FOIS), to cover the
collection, purpose(s), storage,
safeguards, and disposal of the PII that
individual respondents may submit on
FCC Form 160. FCC Form 160 includes
a privacy statement to inform applicants
(respondents) of the Commission’s need
to obtain the information and the
protections that the FCC has in place to
protect the PII.
Needs and Uses: Licensees of
commercial AM, FM, and full power
television broadcast stations, as well as
licensees of Class A and Low Power
Television broadcast stations, must file
FCC Form 323 every two years. Biennial
Ownership Reports shall provide
information accurate as of October 1 of
the year in which the Report is filed.
Form 323 shall be filed by December 1
in all odd-numbered years.
In addition, Licensees and Permittees
of commercial AM, FM, and full power
television broadcast stations must file
Form 323 following the consummation
of a transfer of control or an assignment
of a commercial AM, FM, or full power
television broadcast station license or
construction permit; a Permittee of a
new commercial AM, FM, or full power
television broadcast station must file
Form 323 within 30 days after the grant
of the construction permit; and a
Permittee of a new commercial AM, FM,
or full power television broadcast
station must file Form 323 to update the
initial report or to certify the continuing
accuracy and completeness of the
previously filed report on the date that
the Permittee applies for a license to
cover the construction permit.
In the case of organizational
structures that include holding
companies or other forms of indirect
ownership, a separate Form 323 must be
filed for each entity in the
organizational structure that has an
attributable interest in the Licensee or
Permittee.

Total Annual Burden: 9,620 hours.
Total Annual Cost: $10,125,160.
Privacy Impact Assessment: The Commission is drafting a Privacy
Impact Assessment (PIA) for the personally identifiable information
(PII) that is covered by the system of records notice (SORN), FCC/MB-1,
Ownership Reports for Commercial and Noncommercial Broadcast Stations.
Upon completion of the PIA, it will be posted on the FCC's website, as
required by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Memorandum, M-03-
22 (September 22, 2003).
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: FCC Form 323 collects two
types of information from respondents: PII in the form of names,
addresses, job titles and demographic information; and FCC Registration
Numbers (FRNs).
The FCC/MB-1 SORN, which was approved on November 28, 2016 (81 FR
72047), covers the collection, purpose(s), storage, safeguards, and
disposal of the PII that individual respondents may submit on FCC Form
323, as required under the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended (5 U.S.C.
552a). FCC Form 323 includes a privacy statement to inform applicants
(respondents) of the Commission's need to obtain the information and
the protections that the Commission has in place to protect the PII.
FRNs are assigned to applicants who complete FCC Form 160 (OMB
Control No. 3060-0917). Form 160 currently requires applicants for FRNs
to provide their Taxpayer Information Number (TIN) and/or Social
Security Number (SSN). The FCC's electronic Commission Registration
System (CORES) then provides each registrant with a CORES FRN, which
identifies the registrant in his/her subsequent dealings with the FCC.
This is done to protect the individual's privacy.
[[Page 20130]]
FCC Form 160 also enables applicants to obtain a Restricted Use
FRN, which may be used on Form 323 to identify an individual reported
as an attributable interest holder. Form 160 requires applicants for
Restricted Use FRNs to provide an alternative set of identifying
information that does not include the individual's full SSN: His/her
full name, residential address, date of birth, and only the last four
digits of his/her SSN. Restricted Use FRNs may be used in lieu of CORES
FRNs only on broadcast ownership reports and only for individuals (not
entities) reported as attributable interest holders.
The Commission maintains a SORN, FCC/OMD-25, Financial Operations
Information System (FOIS), to cover the collection, purpose(s),
storage, safeguards, and disposal of the PII that individual
respondents may submit on FCC Form 160. FCC Form 160 includes a privacy
statement to inform applicants (respondents) of the Commission's need
to obtain the information and the protections that the FCC has in place
to protect the PII.
Needs and Uses: Licensees of commercial AM, FM, and full power
television broadcast stations, as well as licensees of Class A and Low
Power Television broadcast stations, must file FCC Form 323 every two
years. Biennial Ownership Reports shall provide information accurate as

be filed by December 1 in all odd-numbered years.
In addition, Licensees and Permittees of commercial AM, FM, and

Form 323 to update the initial report or to certify the continuing
accuracy and completeness of the previously filed report on the date
that the Permittee applies for a license to cover the construction
permit.
In the case of organizational structures that include holding
companies or other forms of indirect ownership, a separate Form 323
must be filed for each entity in the organizational structure that has
an attributable interest in the Licensee or Permittee.

Total Annual Burden: 3,867 hours.
Total Annual Cost: $2,319,900.
Privacy Impact Assessment: The Commission is drafting a Privacy
Impact Assessment (PIA) for the personally identifiable information
(PII) that is covered by the system of records notice (SORN), FCC/MB-1,
Ownership Reports for Commercial and Noncommercial Broadcast Stations.
Upon completion of the PIA, it will be posted on the FCC's website, as
required by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Memorandum, M-03-
22 (September 22, 2003).
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: FCC Form 323-E collects two
types of information from respondents: PII in the form of names,
addresses, job titles and demographic information; and FCC Registration
Numbers (FRNs).
The FCC/MB-1 SORN, which was approved on November 28, 2016 (81 FR
72047), covers the collection, purpose(s), storage, safeguards, and
disposal of the PII that individual respondents may submit on FCC Form
323-E, as required under the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended (5 U.S.C.
552a). FCC Form 323-E includes a privacy statement to inform applicants
(respondents) of the Commission's need to obtain the information and
the protections that the Commission has in place to protect the PII.
FRNs are assigned to applicants who complete FCC Form 160 (OMB
Control No. 3060-0917). Form 160 currently requires applicants for FRNs
to provide their Taxpayer Information Number (TIN) and/or Social
Security Number (SSN). The FCC's electronic Commission Registration
System (CORES) then provides each registrant with a CORES FRN, which
identifies the registrant in his/her subsequent dealings with the FCC.
This is done to protect the individual's privacy.
FCC Form 160 also enables applicants to obtain a Restricted Use
FRN, which may be used on Form 323-E to identify an individual reported
as an attributable interest holder. Form 160 requires applicants for
Restricted Use FRNs to provide an alternative set of identifying
information that does not include the individual's full SSN: His/her
full name, residential address, date of birth, and only the last four
digits of his/her SSN. Restricted Use FRNs may be used in lieu of CORES
FRNs only on broadcast ownership reports and only for individuals (not
entities) reported as attributable interest holders.
The Commission maintains a SORN, FCC/OMD-25, Financial Operations
Information System (FOIS), to cover the collection, purpose(s),
storage, safeguards, and disposal of the PII that individual
respondents may submit on FCC Form 160. FCC Form 160 includes a privacy
statement to inform applicants (respondents) of the Commission's need
to obtain the information and the protections that the FCC has in place
to protect the PII.
Needs and Uses: Licensees of noncommercial educational AM, FM, and

following the consummation of a transfer of control or an assignment of
a noncommercial educational AM, FM, or television broadcast station
license or construction permit; a Permittee of a new noncommercial
educational AM, FM, or television broadcast station must file Form 323-
E within 30 days after the grant of the construction permit; and a

to certify the continuing accuracy and completeness of the previously
filed report on the date that the Permittee applies for a license to
cover the construction permit.
In the case of organizational structures that include holding
companies or other forms of indirect ownership, a separate Form 323-E
must be filed for each entity in the organizational structure that has
an
