ICR Summary of Burden

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

Burden Increase Due to: Changing Regulations

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: As a result of this Report and Order, FCC 14-28, the annual burden hours increased (+25), the number of respondents increased (+100), the number of annual responses increased (+100) and the annual burden cost increased (+$15,000). The FCC expects that these JSA filings and the associated costs and burdens will be substantially reduced at our next request for extension. We anticipate that the vast majority of television JSAs executed in the future will not be attributable and therefore exempt from the filing requirement.
