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 April 24,
2023. 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
as possible.
ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to
Cathy Williams, FCC, via email to PRA@

responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 0.5 to
5 hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion
reporting requirement; Third party
disclosure requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. The statutory
authority for this action is contained in
Sections 1, 4(i) and (j), 325, 338, 614,
615, 631, 632, and 653 of the
Communications Act of 1934, as

325, 338, 534, 535, 551, 552, and 573.
Total Annual Burden: 2,220 hours.
Total Annual Cost: No cost.
Needs and Uses: Under Section 614 of
the Communications Act and the
implementing rules adopted by the
Commission, commercial TV broadcast
stations are entitled to assert mandatory
carriage rights on cable systems located
within the station’s television market.
Under Section 325(b) of the
PO 00000
Frm 00039
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

Communications Act, commercial TV
broadcast stations are entitled to
negotiate with local cable systems for
carriage of their signal pursuant to
retransmission consent agreements in
lieu of asserting must carry rights. This
system is therefore referred to as ‘‘MustCarry and Retransmission Consent.’’
Under Section 615 of the
Communications Act, noncommercial
educational (NCE) stations are also
entitled to assert mandatory carriage
rights on cable systems located within
the station’s market; however,
noncommercial TV broadcast stations
*16939 are not entitled to
retransmission consent.
In 2019, the Commission adopted new
rules governing the delivery and form of
carriage election notices. Electronic
Delivery of MVPD Communications,
Modernization of Media Regulation
Initiative, MB Docket Nos. 17–105, 17–
317, Report and Order and Further
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, FCC
19–69, 34 FCC Rcd 5922(2019) (2019
Report and Order). That decision
modernized the carriage election notice
rules by moving the process online for
most broadcasters and multichannel
video programming distributors
(MVPDs), but the Commission sought
comment on how to apply these
updated rules to certain small broadcast
stations and MVPDs.
In 2020, the Commission adopted a
Report and Order that resolved the
remaining issues regarding carriage
election notice rules for small broadcast
stations and MVPDs. Electronic Delivery
of MVPD Communications,
Modernization of Media Regulation
Initiative, MB Docket Nos. 17–105, 17–
317, Report and Order, FCC 20–14, 2020
WL 948697 (rel. Feb. 25, 2020) (2020
Report and Order). Pursuant to that
decision, the obligations of certain small
broadcasters and MVPDs were slightly
modified.
This information collection is being
revised to reflect the changes to 47 CFR
76.64(h) as well as other new
obligations adopted in the 2020 Report
and Order, which require review and
approval from the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB).
47 CFR 76.64(h)(5) is amended to
require low power television stations
and non-commercial educational
translator stations that are qualified
under 47 CFR 76.55 and retransmitted
by an MVPD to, beginning no later than
July 31, 2020, respond as soon as is
reasonably possible to messages or calls
from MVPDs that are received via the
email address or phone number the
station provides in the Commission’s
Licensing and Management System
(LMS) database.

Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 36 / Thursday, February 23, 2023 / Notices
A qualified Low Power Television
(LPTV) station that changes its carriage
election must send an election change
notice to each affected MVPD’s carriage
election-specific email address by the
carriage election deadline. Such change
notices must include, with respect to
each station covered by the notice: The
station’s call sign, the station’s
community of license, the DMA where
the station is located, the specific
change being made in election status,
and an email address and phone
number for carriage-related questions.
LPTV notices to cable operators need to
identify specific cable systems for
which a carriage election applies only if
the broadcaster changes its election for
some systems of the cable operator but
not all. In addition, the broadcaster
must carbon copy ElectionNotices@
FCC.gov, the Commission’s election
notice verification email inbox, when
sending its carriage elections to MVPDs.
All qualified LPTV stations, whether
being carried pursuant to must carry or
retransmission consent, must send an
email notice to all MVPDs that are or
will be carrying the station no later than
the next carriage election deadline of
October 1, 2020. Qualified LPTVs must
do so even if they are not changing their
carriage status from the current election
cycle. These notifications must be sent
to an MVPD’s carriage election-specific
email address, must be copied to
ElectionNotices@FCC.gov, and must
include the same information required
for a change notification except that the
notification may simply confirm the
existing carriage status rather than a
change in status.
All qualified NCE translator stations
must provide email notice to all MVPDs
that are or will be carrying the translator
no later than the next carriage election
deadline of October 1, 2020. Similar to
qualified LPTVs, these notifications
must be sent to an MVPD’s carriage
election-specific email address, must be
copied to ElectionNotices@FCC.gov, and
must include the station’s call sign, the
Federal Communications Commission.

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
Respondents are not being asked to
submit confidential information to the
Commission. If the Commission
requests respondents to submit
information which respondents believe
are confidential, respondents may
request confidential treatment of such
information under 47 CFR 0.459 of the
Commission’s rules.
Needs and Uses: The Commission has
developed standardized Tariff Review
Plans (TRPs) that set forth the summary
material that incumbent LECs (ILECs)
file to support revisions to the rates in
their interstate access service tariffs. The
TRPs display basic data on rate
development in a consistent manner,
thereby facilitating review of the ILEC
rate revisions by the Commission and
interested parties. The TRPs have served
this purpose effectively in past years.
