Comments are requested concerning: whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Commission, including whether the information shall have practical utility; the accuracy of the Commission's burden estimate; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on the respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology; and ways to further reduce the information collection burden on small business concerns with fewer than 25 employees.

RuleFederal Communications Commission

Television Broadcasting Services Elko, Nevada

This document amends the Table of TV Allotments (table) of the Federal Communications Commission's (Commission) rules by substituting VHF channel 10 for UHF channel 20 at Elko, Nevada in response to a petition for rulemaking filed by Reno (KENV-TV) Licensee, Inc. (Licensee), the licensee of full power television station KENV-DT (KENV-DT or Station), Elko, Nevada. The Media Bureau (Bureau) previously granted a petition for rulemaking submitted by the Licensee to substitute UHF channel 20 for VHF channel 10 at Elko in the table, and subsequently granted a construction permit for its new channel. The Licensee states that it was unable to complete construction of the channel 20 facility by the deadline specified in the Station's construction permit. The Licensee filed the instant petition to amend the table to substitute VHF channel 10 for UHF channel 20 and allow KENV-DT to continue to operate on channel 10 at its licensed parameters and provide uninterrupted service to viewers. The staff engineering analysis finds that the proposal is in compliance with the Commission's principal community coverage and technical requirements, including the interference protection requirements. In support of its channel substitution request, the Licensee filed comments reaffirming its interest and stating that it commits to promptly take any and all steps that may be necessary to effectuate the channel substitution proposed in the petition. An individual commenter, Steven Quinn Singleton, also filed comments, which, for the reasons discussed in the Report and Order referenced below, the Bureau denied.

The Federal Communications Commission published a rule modifying robocall consent revocation procedures to streamline consumer control and caller processing of revocation requests.

Post on X Post on LinkedIn Permalink

RuleFederal Communications Commission

Enhancing the Ability of Consumers To Control the Robocalls

In this document, the Federal Communications Commission (Commission) modifies rules to ensure that consumers can revoke consent for robocalls they no longer wish to receive while continuing to receive those they still want. We also modernize our rules to ensure that consumers have clear, simple, and automated ways to revoke consent while streamlining callers' ability to process revocations. Specifically, we allow callers to interpret a revocation request as applying only to the specific category of informational robocalls to which the revocation was directed, allow callers to designate an exclusive means to revoke consent, and amend the exemption from the consent requirement for financial institutions to allow them to more easily alert customers to fraudulent activity on their account. In addition, we delegate authority to the Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau (CGB) in consultation with the Enforcement Bureau (EB) to review our robocall rules to ensure that those rules are clear and easy to read.

Closed Captioning of Video Programming

In this document, the Federal Communications Commission (Commission) exempts video programmers for public, educational, and governmental access (PEG) channels from the requirement to register with the Commission and to certify captioning compliance if the PEG video programmers provide video programming exclusively to PEG channels that are exempt from closed captioning requirements. Additionally, providers of PEG programming are relieved of filing obligations if the administrators of non-exempt PEG channels certify compliance for programming carried on such channels. The Commission similarly exempts providers of programming carried on nonbroadcast networks for distribution by a cable operator or other multichannel video programming distributor (MVPD) from certifying when the nonbroadcast network itself certifies that it is exempt or that all programming comprising the network's linear line-up is either exempt from or compliant with the closed captioning rules.

The Federal Communications Commission published a notice proposing a new Privacy Act system of records for suspension and debarment information.

Post on X Post on LinkedIn Permalink

NoticeFederal Communications Commission

Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC, Commission, or Agency) proposes to establish a new system of records, FCC/OGC-8, Suspension and Debarment Records, subject to the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended. This action is necessary to meet the requirements of the Privacy Act to publish in the Federal Register notice of the creation, existence, and character of records maintained by the Agency. The Commission uses this system to collect information about any prior misconduct of individuals and entities who participate in certain programs the FCC administers (e.g., Universal Service Fund (USF) and the Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS) program) so that the Suspending and Debarring Official (SDO) can determine whether to exclude or take such other actions as permitted under 2 CFR 6001 against those individuals or entities.
