Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 61 / Thursday, March 28, 2024 / Notices This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart TT. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Metal coil surface coating facilities. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, subpart TT). Estimated number of respondents: 158 (total). Frequency of response: Initially, quarterly, occasionally, semiannually, and annually. Total estimated burden: 16,200 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $2,200,000 (per year), which includes $151,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in burden from the mostrecently approved ICR as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This is due to two considerations: (1) the regulations have not changed over the past three years and are not anticipated to change over the next three years; and (2) the growth rate for this industry is very low or nonexistent, so there is no significant change in the overall burden. Although there are no changes in the regulatory requirements and there is no significant industry growth, there is a decrease in the operation and maintenance (O&M) costs due to a calculation correction to the number of respondents using temperature monitoring systems.

Community Broadcasters Protection Act of 1999 (CBPA). Licensees will be 
required to provide weekly announcements to their listeners: (1) 
informing them that the applicant has applied for a Class A license and 
(2) announcing the public's opportunity to comment on the application 
prior to Commission action.
    On December 11, 2023, the Commission adopted a Report and Order, 
FCC 23-112, to implement the Low Power Protection Act (LPPA or Act), 
which was enacted on January 5, 2023. The LPPA provides certain low 
power television (LPTV) stations with a limited window of opportunity 
to apply for primary spectrum use status as Class A television 
stations. The Report and Order establishes the period during which 
eligible stations may file applications for Class A status, eligibility 
and interference requirements, and the process for submitting 
applications. The Report and Order provides that applications to 
convert to Class A status under the Low Power Protection Act must be 
filed using FCC Form 2100, Schedule F. The application form requires 
certifications by the applicant as prescribed by the LPPA. This 
submission is being made to OMB for approval of the modified FCC Form 
2100, Schedule F. In addition, LPTV stations that file an application 
to convert to Class A status must provide local public notice of the 
filing of the application pursuant to 47 CFR 73.3580(c). Specifically, 
the station must both broadcast on-air announcements and give online 
notice. This submission also reflects the burden associated with that 
information collection and is also being made to request Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) approval of that collection.
