Abstract: On April 17, 2023, the Commission released a Report and Order, FCC 23-25, wherein it adopted several revisions to its Part 74 rules. As a result of these rule revisions, a number of collections and burdens were eliminated altogether as reflected in this revised supporting statement. Sections 74.787(a)(2)(iii), 74.787(a)(5)(i) and 74.798 of the rules were eliminated and therefore the corresponding collections and burdens for these rules have been eliminated. Also, the requirement that low power television and TV translator stations protected analog facilities has been eliminated and therefore the corresponding collection and burden for this requirement has been eliminated as well.
