Burden Increase Due to:

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Changing Forms

Short Statement: The Commission had program changes of -1,200 to the annual burden hours and of -$205,000 to the annual cost burden. These program changes were a result of the Commission discontinuing FCC Form 302-TV since full-power TV stations will broadcast only in digital, and therefore, the form is no longer needed. The Commission also had adjustments of -2,970 to the annual hours and -$3,079,928 to the annual cost burden. These adjustments were due to the Commission re-evaluating the burden for the requirements and forms that are contained in this collection especially since the DTV transition has occurred.
