Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 112 / Tuesday, June 11, 2019 / Notices
Extensions of time must be filed prior to
the expiration of the construction
period. Extensions will be granted only
if the licensee shows that the failure to
commence service is due to causes
beyond its control.
In 1995, via a Report and Order in PR
Docket No. 93–61; FCC 95–41,
published at 60 FR 15248, the
Commission established construction
deadlines for Location and Monitoring
Service (LMS) licensees in the marketlicensed multilateration LMS services.
On July 8, 2004, the Commission
adopted a Report and Order under WT
Docket Nos. 02–381, 01–14, and 03–202;
FCC 04–166, published at 69 FR 75144,
that amended § 90.155 to provide
holders of multilateration location
service authorizations with five- and
ten-year benchmarks to place in
operation their base stations that utilize
multilateration technology to provide
multilateration location service to onethird of the Economic Area’s (EA’s)
population within five years of initial
license grant, and two-thirds of the
population within ten years. At the fiveand ten-year benchmarks, licensees are
required to file a map and FCC Form
601 showing compliance with the
coverage requirements pursuant to
§ 1.946 of the Commission’s rules.
On January 31, 2007, via an Order on
Reconsideration, and Memorandum
Opinion and Order, under DA 07–479,
the FCC granted two to three additional
years to meet the five-year construction
requirement for certain multilateration
Location and Monitoring Service
Economic Area licenses, and extended
the 10-year requirement for such
licenses two years.
These requirements will be used by
Commission personnel to evaluate
whether or not certain licensees are
providing substantial service as a means
of complying with their construction
requirements, or have demonstrated that
an extended period of time for
construction is warranted.

The Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) has received Office
of Management and Budget (OMB)
approval for public information
collection pursuant to the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995. An agency may
not conduct or sponsor a collection of
information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number,
and no person is required to respond to
a collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid control
number. Comments concerning the
accuracy of the burden estimates and
any suggestions for reducing the burden
should be directed to the person listed
in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT section below.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Cathy Williams, Office of the Managing
Director, at (202) 418–2918, or email:
Cathy.Williams@fcc.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The total annual reporting burdens
and costs for the respondents are as
follows:
OMB Control Number: 3060–1260.
OMB Approval Date: April 15, 2019.
OMB Expiration Date: April 30, 2022.
Title: Broadcast Incubator Program.
Form Number: N/A.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities; not-for-profit institutions;
Tribal Governments.
Number of Respondents and
Responses: 20 respondents; 123
responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 4 to 16
hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion
reporting requirement; annual reporting
requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. The statutory
authority that covers this information
collection is 47 U.S.C. 151, 152(a),
154(i), 257, 303, 307–310, and 403.
Total Annual Burden: 1,179 hours.
Total Annual Cost: $326,700.
Privacy Impact Assessment: No
impact(s).
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
The need for confidentiality for this
information collection is not
anticipated; however, when submitting
an incubation proposal (including the
underlying contract and certified
statements), applicants may, upon
request, redact confidential or
proprietary terms.
Needs and Uses: The Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)
approved the information collection
titled ‘‘Broadcast Incubator Program’’
under OMB Control No. 3060–1260, as
a result of a recent rulemaking, FCC 18–
114.
On August 3, 2018, the Commission
released a Report and Order (Order),
SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00040
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Rules and Policies to Promote New
Entry and Ownership Diversity in the
Broadcasting Services, FCC 18–114, in
MB Docket No. 17–289, establishing the
requirements that will govern the
incubator program that the Commission
previously decided to adopt to support
the entry of new and diverse voices into
the radio broadcast industry. The
incubator program is designed for small
businesses, struggling station owners,
and new entrants that do not have any
other means to access the financial
assistance and operational support
necessary for success in the broadcast
industry. The goal is the pairing of these
small aspiring, or struggling, broadcast
station owners with established
broadcasters. These incubation
relationships will provide new entrants
and struggling small broadcasters access
to the financing, mentoring, and
industry connections that are necessary
for success in the industry, but to date
have been unavailable to many. In
return for successfully incubating a
small aspiring, or struggling, broadcast
station owner as part of the
Commission’s incubator program, an
incumbent broadcaster will be eligible
to receive a waiver (a reward waiver) of
the Commission’s Local Radio
Ownership Rule following the
successful conclusion of a successful
qualifying incubation relationship. The
standard term for an incubation
relationship is three years.
Commission staff will use the
applications, certified statements, and
contracts submitted by potential
incubating and incubated entities, along
with any responses to Commission
requests for additional information to
determine qualifications for
participation in the incubator program.
Commission staff will use the
periodic reports to determine whether
ongoing incubation relationships are
proceeding in a manner consistent with
the parties’ initial filings and are likely
to result in a successful incubation
relationship. At the end of a successful
incubation relationship, either the
incubated entity will own and operate a
full-service AM or FM station
independently or the incubated station
will be on a firmer footing if the station
was struggling at the start of the
relationship.
In the event the parties seek to extend
the duration of their incubation
relationship beyond the standard threeyear term, the filing of a request for such
an extension will enable Commission
staff to gauge the types of problems
incubating parties are experiencing.
Information provided by the parties to
the Commission no later than six
months before the contract termination
E:\FR\FM\11JNN1.SGM
11JNN1
Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 112 / Tuesday, June 11, 2019 / Notices
date will allow Commission staff to
evaluate which option for station
ownership the incubating parties plan to
pursue at the conclusion of the
relationship—i.e., whether the
incubated entity plans to keep the
incubated station or purchase a new
station. Additionally, Commission staff
will review documentation submitted to
seek a reward waiver to assess whether
the market where the reward waiver is
sought is comparable to the market
where the incubated station was
located.

Special Temporary Authorities; to add
the name, mailing address, email
address, and telephone number in the
PII included in experimental project
reports of applicants and/or licensees; to
include comments from FCC bureaus
and offices and the NTIA on both
frequency interference potential and/or
coordination of operations; and to
include information pertaining to
contested applications for licenses,
transfers, assignments, and
construction, or petitions to deny or to
cancel applicants on behalf of other
parties.
4. Expanding the Record Source
Categories to note that the record
sources include, but are not limited to
the information that individual
applicants provide on one or more FCC
forms, special temporary authorities
