FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS
COMMISSION
III. What is the Agency’s authority for
taking this action?
[OMB 3060–0010 and OMB 3060–0084]
TSCA section 14(c)(3), 15 U.S.C.
2613(c)(3), requires an affected business
to substantiate all TSCA CBI claims at
the time the affected business asserts the
claim to EPA, except for information
subject to TSCA section 14(c)(2).
TSCA section 14(c)(1)(a) requires an
affected business to assert a claim for
protection from disclosure concurrent
with submission of the information in
accordance with existing or future EPA
rules.
TSCA imposes no requirement to
provide notices of deficiency to affected
businesses. EPA chose to do so to
facilitate compliance with the statutory
requirement.
IV. Implementation
Beginning on August 15, 2019, EPA
will no longer send out notices of
deficiency in instances where
submissions containing non-exempt
information claimed as CBI do not
include substantiation for all such
claims, and where the CBI claims have
other procedural flaws such as a missing
certification statement or, in the case of
specific chemical identity CBI claims, a
missing generic name. Instead, the
Agency will provide written notice to
affected business submitters that those
CBI claims are invalid, and the
underlying information is treated as not
subject to a confidentiality claim, and
therefore subject to disclosure without
further notice.
This action is consistent with the
Agency’s overall efforts to be more
efficient in the implementation of TSCA
section 14 requirements. EPA will
continue to assist submitters with
compliance with TSCA section 14(c)(3)
and has revised its web pages at https://
www.epa.gov/tsca-cbi to include
additional information on this policy,
the substantiation questions from 40
CFR 2.204(e), suggested substantiation
templates, substantiation exemptions
and how the substantiations should be
directed to the Agency.

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.
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

Needs and Uses: Licensees of
commercial AM, FM, and full power
television broadcast stations, as well as
licensees of Class A and Low Power

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.

General Description of Collection:
Section 1471 of the Dodd-Frank Act
established a new Truth in Lending
section 129H, which contains appraisal
requirements applicable to higher-risk
mortgages and prohibits a creditor from
extending credit in the form of a higherrisk mortgage loan to any consumer
without meeting those requirements. A
higher-risk mortgage is defined as a
residential mortgage loan secured by a
principal dwelling with an annual
percentage rate that exceeds the average
prime offer rate for a comparable

transaction as of the date the interest
rate is set by certain enumerated
percentage point spreads.
To implement this statutory
requirement, a final rule was
promulgated to amend 12 CFR part
1026, Regulation Z by the Bureau of
Consumer Financial Protection, the
Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve, the FDIC, the Federal Housing
Finance Authority, the National Credit
Union Association, and the Office of the
Comptroller of the Currency.

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: FCC Form 323 collects two

The FCC/MB-1 SORN, which was approved on November 28, 2016 (81 FR

disposal of the PII that individual respondents may submit on FCC Form

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.
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: 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

Needs and Uses: Licensees of noncommercial educational AM, FM, and
television broadcast stations must file FCC Form 323-E 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-E shall be
filed by December 1 in all odd-numbered years.
In addition, Licensees and Permittees of noncommercial educational
AM, FM, and television broadcast stations must file Form 323-E
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
Permittee of a new noncommercial educational AM, FM, or television
broadcast station must file Form 323-E 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.
