308, 309, 316, and 319.
Needs and Uses: On May 9, 2019, the
Commission adopted a Report and
Order, Amendment of Part 74 of the
Commission’s Rules Regarding FM
Translator Interference, FCC 19–40, MB
Docket No. 18–119 (FM Translator
Interference Report and Order),
adopting proposals to streamline the
rules relating to interference caused by
FM translators and to expedite the
translator interference complaint
resolution process. These measures are
designed to limit or avoid protracted
and contentious interference disputes,
provide translator licensees additional
investment certainty and flexibility to
remediate interference, and provide
affected stations earlier and expedited
resolution of interference complaints.
Under this new information collection,
the following information collection
requirements require OMB approval.
Specifically, the FM Translator
Interference Report and Order pertains
to this new Information Collection as it
codifies the translator interference
listener complaint requirements under
section 74.1201(k) and sections
74.1203(a)(3) (actual interference) and
74.1204(f) (predicted interference) of the
rules. The Commission defines the
requirements for a listener complaint
submitted with a translator interference
claim in section 74.1201(k) as a
complaint that is signed and dated by
the listener and contains the following
information: (1) The complainant’s full
name, address, and phone number; (2)
a clear, concise, and accurate
description of the location where the
interference is alleged to occur; (3) a
statement that the complainant listens
to the desired station using an over-theair signal at least twice a month, to
demonstrate the complainant is a
regular listener; and (4) a statement that
the complainant has no legal,
employment, financial, or familial
affiliation or relationship with the
desired station, to demonstrate the
complainant is disinterested. Electronic
signatures are acceptable for this
purpose.
The FM Translator Interference
Report and Order establishes a
minimum number of listener complaints
ranging from 6 to 25 depending on the
population served within the protected
contour of the complaining station. The
Commission explains that a
proportionate approach, which was
supported by multiple commenters,
would be fairer and more effective than
a single minimum number for all

lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
complaining stations. In addition to the
required minimum number of valid
listener statements, a station submitting
a translator interference claim package
pursuant to either section 74.1203(a)(3)
or 74.1204(f) must include: (1) A map
plotting the specific locations of the
alleged interference in relation to the 45
dBu contour of the complaining station;
(2) a statement that the complaining
station is operating within its licensed
parameters; (3) a statement that the
complaining station licensee has used
commercially reasonable efforts to
inform the relevant translator licensee of
the claimed interference and attempted
private resolution; and (4) U/D data
demonstrating that at each listener
location the ratio of undesired to
desired signal strength exceeds –20 dB
for co-channel situations, –6 dB for firstadjacent channel situations or 40 dB for
second- or third-adjacent channel
situations, calculated using the
Commission’s standard contour
prediction methodology set out in
Section 73.313.
In the FM Translator Interference
Report and Order, the Commission
outlines two paths for resolving
interference if the translator decides to
continue operation on its original
channel. First, a translator operator may
resolve each listener complaint by
working with a willing listener to
resolve reception issues. The translator
operator must then document and
certify that the desired station can now
be heard on the listener’s receiver, i.e.,
that the adjustment to or replacement of
the listener’s receiving equipment
actually resolved the interference.
Second, the translator operator may
work with the complaining station to
resolve station signal interference issues
using rule-compliant suitable technical
techniques. (The Commission provides
flexibility to the parties to determine the
testing parameters for demonstrating
that the interference has been resolved,
for example, the use of on-off testing or
field strength measurements.) Once
agreement is reached, the translator
operator submits the agreed-upon
remediation showing to the
Commission.

FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM
[Docket No. OP–1765]
Framework for the Supervision of
Insurance Organizations
Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System (Board).
ACTION: Proposed guidance; request for
comments.
AGENCY:
The Board is seeking
comment on a new supervisory
framework for depository institution
holding companies significantly
engaged in insurance activities, or
supervised insurance organizations. The
proposed framework would provide a
supervisory approach that is designed
specifically to reflect the differences
between banking and insurance. Within
the framework, the application of
supervisory guidance and the
assignment of supervisory resources
would be based explicitly on a
supervised insurance organization’s
complexity and individual risk profile.
The proposed framework would
formalize the ratings applicable to these
firms with rating definitions that reflect
specific supervisory requirements and
expectations. It would also emphasize
the Board’s policy to rely to the fullest
extent possible on work done by other
relevant supervisors, describing, in
particular, the way it will rely more
fully on reports and other supervisory
information provided by state insurance
