Prometheus Radio Project v. FCC, Nos.
17–1107 et al. (3d Cir. Nov. 29, 2019).
Accordingly, by order released
December 20, 2019, the Commission’s
rules have been amended to reflect the
changes required by the court’s
foregoing actions. 2014 Quadrennial
Regulatory Review—Review of the
Commission’s Broadcast Ownership
Rules and Other Rules Adopted
Pursuant to Section 202 of the
Telecommunications Act of 1996 et al.,
Order, DA 19–1304 (MB Dec. 20, 2019)
(2019 Order). The purpose of this Public
Notice is to clarify the application of
these new rules as they bear on pending
and future renewal applications.2
New Renewal Applications: Effective
immediately, every licensee seeking
renewal of a commercial station license
must report any violation of the
Newspaper/Broadcast or Radio/
Television Cross-Ownership rules
contained in the revised section 73.3555
of the Rules. The Media Bureau is in the
process of seeking approval from the
Office of Management and Budget to
add a new question on this topic to the
renewal application, FCC Form 2100,
Schedule 303–S. Pending that approval
and effective immediately, all licensees
must use the ‘‘FCC Violations during the
Preceding License Term’’ question in
the ‘‘Renewal Certification’’ section of
the renewal application to report any
violations of section 73.3555.3 If the
licensee (or any party with an
attributable interest in the licensee) is in
violation of the Newspaper/Broadcast or
Radio/Television Cross-Ownership
rules, it must answer that question ‘‘No’’
and include an explanatory exhibit.
Licensees should answer ‘‘No’’ and
provide an explanatory exhibit even if
the acquisition of an attributable interest
in a newspaper/broadcast combination
or radio/television combination has
previously been approved by the
Commission or its staff. If the licensee
is not in violation of the Newspaper/
Broadcast or Radio/Television CrossOwnership rules, and there have been
no other violations of the
Communications Act of 1934, as
amended, or the rules or regulations of
2 Nothing in this Public Notice shall be construed
to affect the right of the Commission or any other
party to the Prometheus litigation to seek further
review of the Third Circuit’s decision in the U.S.
Supreme Court, or to limit the Commission’s
discretion in the event that the Supreme Court were
to take further action in that litigation.
3 47 CFR 73.3555. That question states, ‘‘Licensee
certifies that, with respect to the station(s) for
which renewal is requested, there have been no
violations by the licensee of the Communications
Act of 1934, as amended, or the rules or regulations
of the Commission during the preceding license
term. If ‘‘No’’, the licensee must submit an
explanatory exhibit providing complete
descriptions of all violations.’’

the Commission during the preceding
license term, it must answer that
question ‘‘Yes.’’ The Media Bureau will
issue a future Public Notice when a
permanent question on this subject has
been added to the renewal application.
Pending Renewal Applications: Each
licensee that has a pending application
for renewal of a commercial station
license must update its application as
described herein. Specifically, within 30
days of the date of this Public Notice,
the licensee must file an amendment to
its pending application 4 as required by
section 1.65 of the Commission’s rules,
47 CFR 1.65. This amendment must
include an attachment certifying
whether the station licensee (and each
party with an attributable interest in the
licensee) complies with the
Commission’s cross ownership rules
now in effect in revised section 73.3555.
The attachment should state:
The station licensee (and each party with
an attributable interest in the licensee)
hereby certifies it is in compliance with the
Newspaper/Broadcast and Radio/Television
Cross-Ownership rules in revised 47 CFR
73.3555.
To the extent the licensee cannot
certify compliance, it should file an
explanation with all necessary
showings. Licensees should address
these rules in the amendment even if
the acquisition of an attributable interest
in a newspaper/broadcast combination
or radio/television combination has
previously been approved by the
Commission or its staff. No action will
be taken on pending renewal
applications prior to submission of this
amendment. Pending renewal
applications will be processed once
amendments are received.

Chief of Staff, Media Bureau.

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

rules. See Review of the Commission’s
Part 95 Personal Radio Service Rules,
Report and Order, WT Docket 10–119,
32 FCC Rcd 4292 (2017). In that
proceeding, the Commission
renumbered certain Part 95 rules subject
to this information collection without
making substantive rule changes. For
example, former rule § 95.861 is
currently § 95.1961. With this
submission to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB), we renumbered the
rule sections accordingly.
Section 95.1961(c) requires that

must provide a copy of its plan to every
TV Channel 13 station whose Grade B
predicted contour overlaps the licensed
service area as required by § 95.1915(a)
of the Commission’s rules. This plan
must include an analysis of the co- and
adjacent channel interference potential
of proposed systems in the 218–219
MHz service, identify methods being
used to minimize interference, and
show how the proposed systems will
meet the service requirements set forth
in § 95.1931 of the Commission’s rules.
This plan must be sent to the TV
Channel 13 licensee(s) within 10 days
from the date the 218–219 MHz service
licensee submits the plan to the
Commission. Updates to this plan must
be sent to the TV Channel 13 licensee(s)
within 10 days from the date that such
updates are filed with the Commission
pursuant to § 95.1915.
Section 95.1961(e) requires that each
218–219 MHz service licensee
investigate and eliminate harmful
interference to television broadcasting
and reception, from its component cell
transmitter stations (CTSs) and response
transmitter units (RTUs) within 30 days
of the time it is notified in writing, by
either an affected television station, an
affected viewer, or the Commission, of

Needs and Uses: On May 19, 2017, the Commission reformed its Part
95 rules. See Review of the Commission's Part 95 Personal Radio Service
Rules, Report and Order, WT Docket 10-119, 32 FCC Rcd 4292 (2017). In
that proceeding, the Commission renumbered certain Part 95 rules
subject to this information collection without making substantive rule
changes. For example, former rule Sec. 95.861 is currently Sec.
95.1961. With this submission to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB), we renumbered the rule sections accordingly.
Section 95.1961(c) requires that licensees in the 218-219 MHz
service must provide a copy of its plan to every TV Channel 13 station
whose Grade B predicted contour overlaps the licensed service area as
required by Sec. 95.1915(a) of the Commission's rules. This plan must
include an analysis of the co- and adjacent channel interference
potential of proposed systems in the 218-219 MHz service, identify
methods being used to minimize interference, and show how the proposed
systems will meet the service requirements set forth in Sec. 95.1931
of the Commission's rules. This plan must be sent to the TV Channel 13
licensee(s) within 10 days from the date the 218-219 MHz service
licensee submits the plan to the Commission. Updates to this plan must
be sent to the TV Channel 13 licensee(s) within 10 days from the date
that such updates are filed with the Commission pursuant to Sec.
95.1915.
Section 95.1961(e) requires that each 218-219 MHz service licensee
investigate and eliminate harmful interference to television
broadcasting and reception, from its component cell transmitter
stations (CTSs) and response transmitter units (RTUs) within 30 days of
the time it is notified in writing, by either an affected television
station, an affected viewer, or the Commission, of an interference
complaint.
