material or nonsubstantive change to a currently approved
collection
The Commission is requesting approval
for non-substantial changes to collection 3060-0031, FCC Forms 314
and 315. As a result of the Commission's recent decision to
attribute certain television joint sales agreements ("JSAs"), the
multiple ownership question in each form (Form 314, Section III,
Question 6, and Form 315, Section IV, Question 8) is being changed
to require an affirmative response if the assignee/transferee or
any party to the application holds an attributable television JSA
in the same market as the station(s) subject to the application.
Each question was previously limited to attributable radio JSAs and
attributable radio and television time brokerage agreements. These
changes do not add new questions to FCC Form 314 or 315; rather,
the changes modify an existing question in each form that all
respondents are required to answer. Accordingly, these
non-substantial changes will not increase the burden or cost to
commercial television broadcast applicants. In addition to the
changes to the forms detailed in the attached non-substantive
change request, the Commission will make various conforming edits
to the instructions for each form.
The Commission has program
changes to the total number of respondents of +20, to the total
number of responses of +20, to the annual burden hours of +42, and
to the annual cost burden of +$108,000, due to the adoption of
information collection requirements contained in the Rural Third
R&O, FCC 11-190. In particular, the Tribal Priority Holding
Period requirements are now applied in the context of
authorizations obtained using the Tribal Priority Threshold
Qualifications procedures, which were set forth in the Rural Third
R&O, 26 FCC Rcd at 17645-50. While designed to facilitate
opportunities for participation in the broadcasting industry by
Tribes that use a Tribal Priority, the requirements accommodate
those Tribes that may need or desire to assign a station that had
been obtained using the Tribal Priority. There are also adjustments
to this collection of +340 to the total number of responses, +185
to the to annual burden hours and +$667,006 to the annual cost
burden. The Commission reevaluated some of its numbers from our
previous submission to OMB.
