reporting requirement; third party

Obligation to Respond: Mandatory.
Statutory authority for these collections
is contained in section 257 of the
Communications Act of 1934, as
amended, 47 U.S.C. 257.
Total Annual Burden: 61,984 hours.
Total Annual Cost: $510,000.
Needs and Uses: The Restoring
Internet Freedom Report and Order
(Restoring Internet Freedom Order)
revised the information collection
requirements applicable to internet
service providers (ISPs). The Open
Internet Order, adopted in 2010,
required ISPs to disclose certain
network management processes,
performance characteristics, and other
attributes of broadband internet access
service. These disclosure requirements
were significantly increased by the Title
II Order, adopted in 2015. The Restoring
Internet Freedom Order eliminated the
additional collection imposed by the
Title II Order, and added a few discrete
elements to the Open Internet Order’s
information collection requirements.
The Restoring Internet Freedom Order
requires an ISP to publicly disclose
network management practices,
performance, and commercial terms of
its broadband internet access service
sufficient to enable consumers to make
informed choices regarding the
purchase and use of such services, and
entrepreneurs and other small
businesses to develop, market, and
maintain internet offerings. As part of
these disclosures, the rule requires ISPs
to disclose their congestion
management, application-specific
behavior, device attachment rules, and
security practices, as well as any
blocking, throttling, affiliated
prioritization, or paid prioritization in
which they engage. The rule also
requires ISPs to disclose performance
characteristics, including a service
description and the impact of
nonbroadband internet access services
data services. Finally, the rule requires
ISPs to disclose the price of the service,
privacy policies, and redress options.
The rule requires ISPs to make such
disclosures available either via a
publicly-available, easily accessible
website or through transmittal to the
Commission, which will make such
disclosures available via a publiclyavailable, easily accessible website. The
information collection will assist the
Commission in its statutory obligation
to report to Congress on market entry
barriers in the telecommunications
market. The Commission anticipates
that the revised disclosures would
empower consumers and businesses

with information about their broadband
internet access service, protecting the
openness of the internet. Although this
collection was bifurcated in 2016 with
respect to fixed and mobile ISPs, the
Commission seeks to have this
collection encompass both fixed and
mobile ISPs.

Federal Communications
Commission.
ACTION: Notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:
As part of its continuing effort
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 collection(s).
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;
the accuracy of the Commission’s
burden estimate; ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information collected; ways to minimize
the burden of the collection of
information on the respondents,
including the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology; and ways to
further reduce the information
collection burden on small business
concerns with fewer than 25 employees.
The FCC may not conduct or sponsor a
collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) control
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 comments should be
submitted on or before June 14, 2024. If

requires AM, FM and TV station
licensees to prepare an informal
statement or diagram describing any
electrical and mechanical modification
to authorized transmitting equipment
that can be made without prior
Commission approval provided that
equipment performance measurements
are made to ensure compliance with
FCC rules. This informal statement or

Needs and Uses: The information
collection requirements contained in 47
CFR 73.623 requires applicants to
submit a technical showing to establish
that their proposed facilities will not
result in additional interference to TV
broadcast operations. The Commission
permits broadcasters to agree to
proposed TV facilities that do not
conform to the allotted parameters, even
though they might be affected by
potential new interference. The
Commission will consider granting
applications on the basis of interference
agreements if it finds that such grants
will serve the public interest. These
agreements must be signed by all parties
to the agreement. In addition, the
Commission needs the following
information to enable such public
interest determinations: A list of parties
predicted to receive additional
interference from the proposed facility;
a showing as to why a grant based on
the agreements would serve the public
interest; and technical studies depicting
the additional interference. The
technical showings and interference
agreements will be used by FCC staff to
determine if the public interest would
be served by the grant of the application
and to ensure that the proposed
facilities will not result in additional
interference.

The statutory authority for this

sections 4, 303, 614, and 615 of the

amended.
Needs and Uses: The information
collection imposes a notification
requirement on certain small cable
systems that become ineligible for
exemption from the requirement to
carry high definition broadcast signals
in HD (adopted in FCC 15–65). In
particular, the information collection
requires that, beginning December 12,
2016, at the time a small cable system
utilizing the HD carriage exemption
offers any programming in HD, the
system must give notice that it is
offering HD programming to all
broadcast stations in its market that are
carried on its system. Cable operators
also must keep records of such
notification. This information collection
requirement allows affected broadcast
stations to monitor compliance with the
requirement that cable operators
transmit high definition broadcast
signals in HD.
