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 of 1995 (PRA), 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 Office of
Management and Budget (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 January 24,
2020. 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

Estimated Time per Response: 0.5 to
70 hours.
Frequency of Response:
Recordkeeping requirement, Semiannual and Triennial reporting
requirements; Third party disclosure
requirement.

Needs and Uses: Multichannel Video
Programming Distributors (MVPDs)
provide their programming over a
closed system and, thus, may use all
frequencies to do so. They must,
however, prevent leakage of those
signals from the system and guard
against and minimize any harm to
aeronautical communications should
leak occur. Part of the regime for
protecting aeronautical frequencies from
interference and resolving interference
is notification of the Commission of use
of those frequencies and that proper
frequency offsets and other precautions
are taken. Form 321 is used for this
purpose.
The Commission seeks to modify this
submission to reflect that the
Commission adopted a rule, 47 CFR
76.1804, which a new trigger for filing

the Commission before transmitting any
digital signal with average power
exceeding 10¥5 watts across a 30 kHz
bandwidth in a 2.5 millisecond time
period, or for other signal types, any
carrier of other signal component with
an average power level across a 25 kHz
bandwidth in any 160 microsecond time
period equal to or greater than 10¥4
watts at any point in the cable
distribution system on any new
frequency or frequencies in the
aeronautical radio frequency bands
(108–137 MHz, 225–400 MHz). The
