Federal Communications Commission, Comments Requested

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burden 
and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
3501-3520), the Federal Communications Commission invites the general 
public and other Federal agencies to comment on the following 
information collection(s). Comments are requested concerning (a) 
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; (b) the accuracy 
of the Commission's burden estimate; (c) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information collected; (d) 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 (e) ways to further reduce the information 
collection burden for 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 OMB control number. No 
person shall be subject to any penalty for failing to comply with a 
collection of information subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act that 
does not display a valid OMB control number.

    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. The 
statutory authority for this collection of information is contained in 
Sections 4(i) and 340 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: This collection of 
information does not require confidentiality.
    Privacy Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Needs and Uses: 47 CFR 76.54(b) states significant viewing in a 
cable television or satellite community for signals not shown as 
significantly viewed under 47 CFR 76.54(a) or (d) may be demonstrated 
by an independent professional audience survey of over-the-air 
television homes that covers at least two weekly periods separated by 
at least thirty days but no more than one of which shall be a week 
between the months of April and September. If two surveys are taken, 
they shall include samples sufficient to assure that the combined 
surveys result in an average figure at least one standard error above 
the required viewing level. 47 CFR 76.54(c) is used to notify 
interested parties, including licensees or permittees of television 
broadcast stations, about audience surveys that are being conducted by 
an organization to demonstrate that a particular broadcast station is 
eligible for significantly viewed status under the Commission's rules. 
The notifications provide interested parties with an opportunity to 
review survey methodologies and file objections. 47 CFR 76.54(e) and 
(f), are used to notify television broadcast stations about the 
retransmission of significantly viewed signals by a satellite carrier 
into these stations' local market.

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary.
