Congress has mandated that after February 17, 2009, full-power televisin broadcast stations must transmit only in digital signals, and may no longer transmit analog signals. On April 25, 2007, the Commission adopted a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, MB Docket No. 07-91, FCC 07-70 to consider the procedures and rule changes necessary to complete the nation's transition to DTV. As a result of this action, FCC Form 337 must be revised to accommodate stations requesting an extension of time to construct DTV facilities. The Commission is also consolidating information collection 3060-1001 (FCC Form 337) into collection 3060-0407 with this submission. Section 73.3598 requires licensees/permittees to notify the Commission and provide supporting documentation when construction is encumbered due to an act of God or when a construction permit is the subject of administrative or judicial review. The data is used by FCC staff to ensure that legitimate obstacles are preventing construction of broadcast facilities.

On April 25, 2007, the Commission adopted a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), Third Periodic Review of the Commission's Rules and Policies Affecting the Conversion to Digital TV, MB Docket No. 07-91, FCC 07-70. The NPRM adds additional burden hours and annual cost bureden to this collection. The Commission also consoidated information collection 3060-1001 into collection 3060-0407. While consolidating the two colections into one, the Commission reevaluated the burden hours and cost burden of both collections. The collections were overestimated in the Commission's previous submissions. The burdens are accurately accounted for in this submission.
