Privacy Act Impact Assessment: An
assurance of confidentiality is not
offered because this information
collection does not require the
collection of personally identifiable
information (PII) from individuals.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
No impact(s).
Needs and Uses: The information
collection requirements included under
this OMB Control Number 3060–0653,
requires aggregators (providers of
telephones to the public or to transient
users of their premises) under 47 U.S.C.
226(c)(1)(A), 47 CFR 64.703(b) of the
Commission’s rules, to post in writing,
on or near such phones, information
about the pre-subscribed operator
services, rates, carrier access, and the
FCC address to which consumers may
direct complaints.
Section 64.703(c) of the Commission’s
rules requires the posted consumer
information to be added when an
aggregator has changed the presubscribed operator service provider
(OSP) no later than 30 days following
such change. Consumers will use this
information to determine whether they
wish to use the services of the identified
OSP.
OMB Control Number: 3060–0754.

respect to this collection of information.
Needs and Uses: Commercial fullpower and Class A television broadcast
stations are required to file FCC Form
2100, Schedule H (formerly FCC Form
398) (Children’s Television
Programming Report) within 30 days
after the end of each calendar year. FCC
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Form 2100, Schedule H is a
standardized form that: (a) Provides a
consistent format for reporting the
children’s educational television
programming aired by licensees to meet
their obligation under the Children’s
Television Act of 1990 (CTA), and (b)
facilitates efforts by the public and the
FCC to monitor compliance with the
CTA.
Commercial full-power and Class A
television stations are required to
complete FCC Form 2100, Schedule H
within 30 days after the end of each
calendar year and file the form with the
Commission. The Commission places
the form in the station’s online public
inspection file maintained on the
Commission’s database (www.fcc.gov).
Stations use FCC Form 2100, Schedule
H to report, among other things, the
Core Programming (i.e., children’s
educational and informational
programming) the station aired the
previous calendar year. FCC Form 2100,
Schedule H also includes a ‘‘Preemption
Report’’ that must be completed for each
Core Program that was preempted
during the year. This ‘‘Preemption
Report’’ requests information on the
reason for the preemption, the date of
each preemption, the reason for the
preemption and, if the program was
rescheduled, the date and time the
program was re-aired.
On July 10, 2019, the Commission
adopted a Report and Order in MB
Docket Nos. 18–202 and 17–105, FCC
19–67, In the Matter of Children’s
Television Programming Rules;
Modernization of Media Regulation
Initiative, which modernizes the
children’s television programming rules
in light of changes to the media
landscape that have occurred since the
rules were first adopted. Among other
revisions, the Report and Order revises
the children’s television programming
rules to expand the Core Programming
hours to 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.; modify
the safe harbor processing guidelines for
determining compliance with the
children’s programming rules; require
that broadcast stations air the
substantial majority of their Core
Programming on their primary program
streams, but permit broadcast stations to
air up to 13 hours per quarter of
regularly scheduled weekly
programming on a multicast stream;
eliminate the additional processing
guideline applicable to stations that
multicast; and modify the rules
governing preemption of Core
Programming. In addition, the Report
and Order revises the children’s
television programming reporting
requirements by requiring that
Children’s Television Programming

Reports (FCC Form 2100, Schedule H)
be filed on an annual rather than
quarterly basis, within 30 days after the
end of the calendar year; eliminating the
requirements that the reports include
information describing the educational
and informational purpose of each Core
Program aired during the current
reporting period and each Core Program
that the licensee expects to air during
the next reporting period; eliminating
the requirement to identify the program
guide publishers who were sent
information regarding the licensee’s
Core Programs; and streamlining the
form by eliminating certain fields. The
Report and Order also eliminates the
requirement to publicize the Children’s
Television Programming Reports. The
Report and Order directs the Media
Bureau to make modifications to FCC
Form 2100, Schedule H as needed to
conform the form with the revisions to
the children’s programming rules,
including the changes to the processing
guidelines and preemption policies.

Orbital debris consists of artificial
objects orbiting the Earth that are not
functional spacecraft. It consists of a
wide range of non-functioning manmade objects that have been placed in
VerDate Sep<11>2014

the Earth’s orbit, both accidentally and
on purpose. Orbital debris consists of
small objects such as paint flakes,
discarded lens caps, ejected bolts and
pieces of debris from exploded
spacecraft and rocket bodies. Since
human activity in space began, there has
been a steady growth in the number and
total mass of orbital debris. Once
created, debris remains in orbit
indefinitely, absent other forces. Growth
in the orbital debris population may
limit the usefulness of space for
communications and other uses in the
future by raising the costs and lowering
the reliability of space based systems.
Furthermore, the effects of collisions
involving orbital debris can be
catastrophic and may cause significant
damage to functional spacecraft or to
persons or property on the surface of the
Earth, if the debris re-enters the Earth’s
atmosphere in an uncontrolled manner.
The information collection
requirements accounted for in this
collection are necessary to mitigate the
potential harmful effects of orbital
debris accumulation. Without such
information collection requirements, the
growth in the orbital debris population
may limit the usefulness of space for
communications and other uses in the
future by raising the costs and lowering
the reliability of experimental and
amateur systems. Furthermore, the
effects of collisions involving orbital
debris can be catastrophic and may
cause significant damage to functional
spacecraft or to persons or property on
the surface of the Earth, if the debris reenters the Earth’s atmosphere in an
