information collection requirements
associated with the Cable Television
Technical and Operational Standards
Report and Order. This document is

SUMMARY:
State submittal
date
As required by the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3507),
the FCC is notifying the public that it
received OMB approval on March 31,
2020, for the information collection
requirements contained in the
Commission’s rules.
No person shall be subject to any
penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information subject to the
Paperwork Reduction Act that does not
display a current, valid OMB Control
Number. The OMB Control Numbers are
3060–0289, 3060–0331, 3060–0419 and
3060–1045.
The foregoing notice is required by
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
Public Law 104–13, October 1, 1995,
and 44 U.S.C. 3507.
The total annual reporting burdens
and costs for the respondents are as
follows:
OMB Control Number: 3060–0289.

Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities, and state, local, or tribal
government.
Number of Respondents: 4,085
respondents, 6,433 responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 0.5 to
70 hours.
Frequency of Response:
Recordkeeping requirement, Semiannual and Triennial reporting
requirements; Third party disclosure
requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. The statutory
authority for this collection of
information is contained in Sections 4(i)
and 624(e) of the Communications Act
of 1934, as amended.
Total Annual Burden: 166,405 hours.
Total Annual Cost: None.
Privacy Impact Assessment: No
impact(s).
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is no need for confidentiality with
this collection of information.
Needs and Uses: The Commission
modified this submission to reflect that
the testing required under Section
76.601(b) applies only to cable systems
that deliver analog signals, and the cable
operator must only test analog channels
(see FCC 17–120). We expect that this
change will reduce the number of filers
associated with this information
collection.
OMB Control Number: 3060–0331.

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 modified this
submission to reflect that the
Commission adopted a rule, 47 CFR
76.1804, which a new trigger for filing
FCC Form 321 (see FCC 17–120,
adopted on September 22, 2017). Under
47 CFR 76.1804, an MVPD shall notify
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
notification shall be made on FCC Form
321.

operational status of a cable television
system. Notification must be done
within 30 days from the date the change
occurs and must include the following
