1934, as amended.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for
confidentiality with this collection of information.
Privacy Act Assessment: No impact(s).
Needs and Uses: The information collection imposes a notification
requirement on certain small cable systems that become ineligible for
exemption from the requirement to carry high definition broadcast
signals in HD (adopted in FCC 15-65). In particular, the information
collection requires that, beginning December 12, 2016, at the time a
small cable system utilizing the HD carriage exemption offers any
programming in HD, the system must give notice that it is offering HD
programming to all broadcast stations in its market that are carried on
its system. Cable operators also must keep records of such
notification. This information collection requirement allows affected
broadcast stations to monitor compliance with the requirement that
cable operators transmit high definition broadcast signals in HD.
