Abstract: On July 15, 2011, the Commission adopted the Second Report and Order, In the Matter of Amendment of Parts 73 and 74 of the Commission's Rules to Establish Rules for Digital Low Power Television Translator, and Television Booster Stations and to Amend Rules for Digital Class A Television Stations, MB Docket No. 03-185, FCC 11-110 ("LPTV Digital Second Report and Order"). This document contains rules and policies for low power television stations ("LPTV") to transition from analog to digital broadcasting. Due to the Commission adopting these rules and policies to effectuate the low power digital transition, the LPTV Second Report and Order imposes new PRA burdens on licensees. The new requirement that contain information collection requirement is as follows: 47 CFR Section 74.793(d) requires that digital low power and TV translator stations shall be required to submit information as to vertical radiation patterns as part of their applications (FCC Forms 346 and 301-CA) for new or modified construction permits. The Commission received preapproval for the information collection requirement at the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking stage. With this sumbission, we are simply activating the burden hours and costs into OMB's inventory.
