Abstract: The Clean Watersheds
Needs Survey (CWNS) is required by
Clean Water Act (CWA) Sections 205(a)
and 516. It is a periodic inventory of
existing and planned publicly owned
wastewater conveyance and treatment
facilities, combined sewer overflow
correction, stormwater management and
other water pollution control facilities
in the United States, as well as an
estimate of how many of these facilities
need to be built. The CWNS is a joint
effort between EPA and the states. The
CWNS collects cost and technical data
from states that are associated with
publicly owned treatment works
(POTWs) and other water pollution
control facilities, existing and planned.
The respondents who provide this
information to EPA are state agencies
responsible for environmental pollution
control and local facility contacts who
provide documentation to the states.
Periodically, the states request data or
documentation from contacts at the
facility or local government level. These
respondents are referred to as facilities.
No confidential information is used,
nor is sensitive information collected
that would be protected from release
under the Public Information Act. EPA
achieves national consistency in the
final results through the application of
uniform guidelines and validation
techniques.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: States,
Territories, and Local Facilities.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Voluntary.
Estimated number of respondents: 56
States and Territories, 5,349 Local
Facilities (total).
Frequency of response: Every 4 years.
Total estimated burden: 9,645 hours
(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $505,004 (per
year), includes $0 annualized capital or
operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is an
increase of 541 hours and $134,820 in
the total estimated respondent burden
compared with the ICR previously
approved by OMB. This increase is
based upon an increase in facility
universe, as well as an adjustment in
labor rates and benefits.

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;

and 721 of the Communications Act of
1934, as amended.
Needs and Uses: In 2012, the
Commission replaced the decades-old
requirement that commercial and
noncommercial television stations
maintain public files at their main
studios with a requirement to post most
of the documents in those files to a
central, online public file hosted by the
Commission. On January 28, 2016, the
Commission adopted a Report and
Order (‘‘R&O’’) in MB Docket No. 14–
127, FCC 16–4, In the Matter of
Expansion of Online Public File
Obligations to Cable and Satellite TV
Operators and Broadcast and Satellite
Radio Licensees, expanding the
requirement that public inspection files
be posted to the FCC-hosted online
public file database to satellite TV (also
referred to as ‘‘Direct Broadcast
Satellite’’ or ‘‘DBS’’) providers and to
satellite radio (also referred to as
‘‘satellite Digital Audio Radio Services’’
or ‘‘SDARS’’) licensees, among other
entities. The Commission stated that its
goal is to make information that these
entities are already required to make
publicly available more accessible while
also reducing costs both for the
government and the public sector. The
Commission took the same general
approach to transitioning these entities
to the online file that it took with
television broadcasters in 2012, tailoring
the requirements as necessary to the
different services. The Commission also
took similar measures to minimize the
effort and cost entities must undertake
to move their public files online.
Specifically, the Commission required
entities to upload to the online public
file only documents that are not already
07SEN1
sradovich on DSKJLST7X2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 170 / Tuesday, September 7, 2021 / Notices
on file with the Commission or that the
Commission maintains in its own
database. The Commission also
exempted existing political file material
from the online file requirement and
required that political file documents be
uploaded only on a going-forward basis.
The Commission first adopted a
public inspection file requirement for
broadcasters more than 40 years ago.
The public file requirement grew out of
Congress’ 1960 amendment of Sections
309 and 311 of the Communications Act
of 1934. Finding that Congress, in
enacting these provisions, was guarding
‘‘the right of the general public to be
informed, not merely the rights of those
who have special interests,’’ the
Commission adopted the public
inspection file requirement to ‘‘make
information to which the public already
has a right more readily available, so
that the public will be encouraged to
play a more active part in dialogue with
broadcast licensees.’’ The information
provided in the public file enables
citizens to engage in an informed dialog
with their local video provider or to file
complaints regarding provider
operations. Satellite TV (also known as
‘‘Direct Broadcast Satellite’’ or ‘‘DBS’’)
providers and satellite radio (also
referred to as ‘‘Satellite Digital Audio
Radio Services’’ or ‘‘SDARS’’) licensees
have public and political file
requirements modeled, in large part, on
the longstanding broadcast
requirements. With respect to DBS
providers, the Commission adopted
public and political inspection file
requirements in 1998 in conjunction
with the imposition of certain public
interest obligations, including political
broadcasting requirements, on those
entities. DBS providers were required to
‘‘abide by political file obligations
similar to those requirements placed on
terrestrial broadcasters and cable
systems’’ and were also required to
maintain a public file with records
relating to other DBS public interest
obligations. The Commission imposed
equal employment opportunity and
political broadcast requirements on
SDARS licensees in 1997, noting that
the rationale behind imposing these
requirements on broadcasters also
applies to satellite radio.
The information collection
requirements contained in 47 CFR
25.701(d) require each DBS provider to
keep and permit public inspection of a
complete and orderly record (political
file) of all requests for DBS origination
time made by or on behalf of candidates
for public office, together with an
appropriate notation showing the
disposition made by the provider of
such requests, and the charges made, if
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 253001
any, if the request is granted. The
disposition includes the schedule of
time purchased, when the spots actually
aired, the rates charged, and the classes
of time purchased. Also, when free time
is provided for use by or on behalf of
candidates, a record of the free time
provided is to be placed in the political
file. All records required to be retained
by this section must be placed in the
political file as soon as possible and
retained for a period of two years. DBS
providers must make available, by fax,
email, or by mail upon telephone
request, copies of documents in their
political files and assist callers by
answering questions about the contents
of their political files. If a requester
prefers access by mail, the DBS provider
must pay for postage but may require
individuals requesting documents to
pay for photocopying. If a DBS provider
places its political file on its website, it
may refer the public to the website in
lieu of mailing copies.
Any material required to be
maintained in the political file must be
made available to the public by either
mailing or website access or both.
The information collection
requirements contained in 47 CFR
25.701(d) require DBS providers to
place all new political file material
required to be retained by this section
in the online file hosted by the
Commission.
47 CFR 25.701(f)(6) information
collection requirements require each
DBS provider to maintain a public file
containing a complete and orderly
record of quarterly measurements of:
Channel capacity and yearly average
calculations on which it bases its four
percent reservation, as well as its
responses to any capacity changes; a
record of entities to whom
noncommercial capacity is being
provided, the amount of capacity being
provided to each entity, the conditions
under which it is being provided and
the rates, if any, being paid by the
entity; and a record of entities that have
requested capacity, disposition of those
requests and reasons for the disposition.
All records required by this provision
must be placed in a file available to the
public as soon as possible and be
retained for a period of two years.
47 CFR 25.701(f)(6) to require DBS
providers to place all public file
material required to be retained by this
section in the online file hosted by the
Commission. Each DBS provider must
place in the online file the records
required to be placed in the public
inspection file by 47 CFR
25.701(e)(commercial limits in
children’s programs) and by 47 CFR
25.601 and Part 76, Subpart E (equal

employment opportunity requirements)
and retain those records for the period
required by those rules. In addition,
each DBS provider is required to
provide a link to the public inspection
file hosted on the Commission’s website
from the home page of its own website,
if the provider has a website, and
provide on its website contact
information for a representative who
can assist any person with disabilities
with issues related to the content of the
public files. Each DBS provider is also
required to include in the online public
file the name, phone number, and email
address of the licensee’s designated
contact for questions about the public
file. In addition, each DBS provider
must place the address of the provider’s
local public file in the Commission’s
online file unless the provider has fully
transitioned to the FCC’s online public
file (e.g., posts to the FCC’s online file
database all public and political file
material required to be maintained in
the public inspection file) and also
provides online access via the
provider’s own website to back-up
political file material in the event the
online file becomes temporarily
unavailable.
47 CFR 25.702(b) requires each
SDARS licensee to maintain a complete
and orderly record (political file) of all
requests for SDARS origination time
made by or on behalf of candidates for
public office, together with the
disposition made by the provider of
such requests, and the charges made, if
any, if the request is granted. The
disposition must include the schedule
of time purchased, when the spots
actually aired, the rates charged, and the
classes of time purchased. Also, when
free time is provided for use by or on
behalf of candidates, a record of the free
time provided is to be placed in the
political file. SDARS licensees are
required to place all records required by
this section in the political file as soon
as possible and retain the record for a
period of two years.
The information collection
requirements contained in 47 CFR
25.702(c) require each SDARS applicant
or licensee to place in the online file
hosted by the Commission the records
required to be placed in the public
inspection file by 47 CFR 25.601 and
73.2080 (equal employment
opportunities) and to retain those
records for the period required by those
rules. Each SDARS licensee must
provide a link to the public inspection
file hosted on the Commission’s website
from the home page of its own website,
if the licensee has a website, and
provide on its website contact
information for a representative who
07SEN1

can assist any person with disabilities
with issues related to the content of the
public files. Each SDARS licensee is
also required to include in the online
public file the name, phone number,
and email address of the licensee’s
designated contact for questions about
the public file. In addition, each SDARS
licensee must place the address of the
provider’s local public file in the
Commission’s online file unless the
provider has fully transitioned to the
FCC’s online public file (i.e., posts to the
Commission’s online public file all
public and political file material
required to be maintained in the public
inspection file) and also provides online
access via the licensee’s own website to
back-up political file material in the
event the online file becomes
temporarily unavailable.

Title: Sections 25.701, Other DBS Public Interest Obligations, and
25.702, Other SDARS Public Interest Obligations.
Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Extension of an existing collection.
Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities.
Number of Respondents and Responses: 3 respondents and 3 responses.
Estimated Hours per Response: 18 hrs.
Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement,
Recordkeeping requirement, Third party disclosure requirement.
Total Annual Burden: 54 hours.
Total Annual Cost: $592.
Obligation to Respond: Required to be obtained or retained for

contained in sections 154, 301, 302, 303, 307, 309, 319, 332, 605, and
721 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended.
Needs and Uses: In 2012, the Commission replaced the decades-old
requirement that commercial and noncommercial television stations
maintain public files at their main studios with a requirement to post
most of the documents in those files to a central, online public file
hosted by the Commission. On January 28, 2016, the Commission adopted a
Report and Order (``R&O'') in MB Docket No. 14-127, FCC 16-4, In the
Matter of Expansion of Online Public File Obligations to Cable and
Satellite TV Operators and Broadcast and Satellite Radio Licensees,
expanding the requirement that public inspection files be posted to the
FCC-hosted online public file database to satellite TV (also referred
to as ``Direct Broadcast Satellite'' or ``DBS'') providers and to
satellite radio (also referred to as ``satellite Digital Audio Radio
Services'' or ``SDARS'') licensees, among other entities. The
Commission stated that its goal is to make information that these
entities are already required to make publicly available more
accessible while also reducing costs both for the government and the
public sector. The Commission took the same general approach to
transitioning these entities to the online file that it took with
television broadcasters in 2012, tailoring the requirements as
necessary to the different services. The Commission also took similar
measures to minimize the effort and cost entities must undertake to
move their public files online. Specifically, the Commission required
entities to upload to the online public file only documents that are
not already
[[Page 50119]]
on file with the Commission or that the Commission maintains in its own
database. The Commission also exempted existing political file material
from the online file requirement and required that political file
documents be uploaded only on a going-forward basis.
The Commission first adopted a public inspection file requirement
for broadcasters more than 40 years ago. The public file requirement
grew out of Congress' 1960 amendment of Sections 309 and 311 of the
Communications Act of 1934. Finding that Congress, in enacting these
provisions, was guarding ``the right of the general public to be
informed, not merely the rights of those who have special interests,''
the Commission adopted the public inspection file requirement to ``make
information to which the public already has a right more readily
available, so that the public will be encouraged to play a more active
part in dialogue with broadcast licensees.'' The information provided
in the public file enables citizens to engage in an informed dialog
with their local video provider or to file complaints regarding
provider operations. Satellite TV (also known as ``Direct Broadcast
Satellite'' or ``DBS'') providers and satellite radio (also referred to
as ``Satellite Digital Audio Radio Services'' or ``SDARS'') licensees
have public and political file requirements modeled, in large part, on
the longstanding broadcast requirements. With respect to DBS providers,
the Commission adopted public and political inspection file
requirements in 1998 in conjunction with the imposition of certain
public interest obligations, including political broadcasting
requirements, on those entities. DBS providers were required to ``abide
by political file obligations similar to those requirements placed on
terrestrial broadcasters and cable systems'' and were also required to
maintain a public file with records relating to other DBS public
interest obligations. The Commission imposed equal employment
opportunity and political broadcast requirements on SDARS licensees in
1997, noting that the rationale behind imposing these requirements on
broadcasters also applies to satellite radio.
The information collection requirements contained in 47 CFR
25.701(d) require each DBS provider to keep and permit public
inspection of a complete and orderly record (political file) of all
requests for DBS origination time made by or on behalf of candidates
for public office, together with an appropriate notation showing the
disposition made by the provider of such requests, and the charges
made, if any, if the request is granted. The disposition includes the
schedule of time purchased, when the spots actually aired, the rates
charged, and the classes of time purchased. Also, when free time is
provided for use by or on behalf of candidates, a record of the free
time provided is to be placed in the political file. All records
required to be retained by this section must be placed in the political
file as soon as possible and retained for a period of two years. DBS
providers must make available, by fax, email, or by mail upon telephone
request, copies of documents in their political files and assist
callers by answering questions about the contents of their political
files. If a requester prefers access by mail, the DBS provider must pay
for postage but may require individuals requesting documents to pay for
photocopying. If a DBS provider places its political file on its
website, it may refer the public to the website in lieu of mailing
copies.
Any material required to be maintained in the political file must
be made available to the public by either mailing or website access or
both.
The information collection requirements contained in 47 CFR
25.701(d) require DBS providers to place all new political file
material required to be retained by this section in the online file
hosted by the Commission.
47 CFR 25.701(f)(6) information collection requirements require
each DBS provider to maintain a public file containing a complete and
orderly record of quarterly measurements of: Channel capacity and
yearly average calculations on which it bases its four percent
reservation, as well as its responses to any capacity changes; a record
of entities to whom noncommercial capacity is being provided, the
amount of capacity being provided to each entity, the conditions under
which it is being provided and the rates, if any, being paid by the
entity; and a record of entities that have requested capacity,
disposition of those requests and reasons for the disposition. All
records required by this provision must be placed in a file available
to the public as soon as possible and be retained for a period of two
years.
47 CFR 25.701(f)(6) to require DBS providers to place all public
file material required to be retained by this section in the online
file hosted by the Commission. Each DBS provider must place in the
online file the records required to be placed in the public inspection
file by 47 CFR 25.701(e)(commercial limits in children's programs) and
by 47 CFR 25.601 and Part 76, Subpart E (equal employment opportunity
requirements) and retain those records for the period required by those
rules. In addition, each DBS provider is required to provide a link to
the public inspection file hosted on the Commission's website from the
home page of its own website, if the provider has a website, and
provide on its website contact information for a representative who can
assist any person with disabilities with issues related to the content
of the public files. Each DBS provider is also required to include in
the online public file the name, phone number, and email address of the
licensee's designated contact for questions about the public file. In
addition, each DBS provider must place the address of the provider's
local public file in the Commission's online file unless the provider
has fully transitioned to the FCC's online public file (e.g., posts to
the FCC's online file database all public and political file material
required to be maintained in the public inspection file) and also
provides online access via the provider's own website to back-up
political file material in the event the online file becomes
temporarily unavailable.
47 CFR 25.702(b) requires each SDARS licensee to maintain a
complete and orderly record (political file) of all requests for SDARS
origination time made by or on behalf of candidates for public office,
together with the disposition made by the provider of such requests,
and the charges made, if any, if the request is granted. The
disposition must include the schedule of time purchased, when the spots
actually aired, the rates charged, and the classes of time purchased.
Also, when free time is provided for use by or on behalf of candidates,
a record of the free time provided is to be placed in the political
file. SDARS licensees are required to place all records required by
this section in the political file as soon as possible and retain the
record for a period of two years.
The information collection requirements contained in 47 CFR
25.702(c) require each SDARS applicant or licensee to place in the
online file hosted by the Commission the records required to be placed
in the public inspection file by 47 CFR 25.601 and 73.2080 (equal
employment opportunities) and to retain those records for the period
required by those rules. Each SDARS licensee must provide a link to the
public inspection file hosted on the Commission's website from the home
page of its own website, if the licensee has a website, and provide on
its website contact information for a representative who

can assist any person with disabilities with issues related to the
content of the public files. Each SDARS licensee is also required to
include in the online public file the name, phone number, and email
address of the licensee's designated contact for questions about the
public file. In addition, each SDARS licensee must place the address of
the provider's local public file in the Commission's online file unless
the provider has fully transitioned to the FCC's online public file
(i.e., posts to the Commission's online public file all public and
political file material required to be maintained in the public
inspection file) and also provides online access via the licensee's own
website to back-up political file material in the event the online file
becomes temporarily unavailable.
