Abstract:
On June 29, 2009, the Commission adopted a Report and Order, Amendment of Service and Eligibility Rules for FM Broadcast Translator Stations, MB Docket No. 07-172, FCC 09-59. In the Report and Order, the Commission adopted several rule changes that would allow AM stations to use FM translator stations to rebroadcast the AM signal. 47 C.F.R § 74.1284 is one of the rules that was changed as a result of the Commission adopting FCC 09-59. Therefore, the rule change affecting this information collection pursuant to 47 C.F.R § 74.1284 will add a new universe of filers -- FM translator stations rebroadcasting an AM station signal for the first time -- to this information collection and OMB approval is needed. The Commission received OMB review for the new universe of filers at the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking stage on November 26, 2007. Since the adoption of the Report and Order (FCC 09-59), the information collection requirements contained in 47 C.F.R § 74.1284 and the new universe of filers have not changed. The Commission is simply obtaining final OMB approval for the new universe of filings to Section 74.1284 with this submission.
