SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
In a Report and Order and Order on Reconsideration released on February 4, 2008, FCC 07216, and published in the Federal Register on February 21, 2008, 73 FR 9481, the Federal Communications Commission adopted a new rule which contains information collection requirements subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act. The Report and Order and Order on Reconsideration stated that the rule change requiring OMB approval would become effective immediately upon announcement in the Federal Register of OMB approval. On June 23, 2008, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approved the information collection requirements contained in 47 CFR 73.3555(d). These information collections are assigned OMB Control Nos. 30600031 and 30600110. This publication satisfies the statement that the Commission would publish a document announcing the effective date of the rule change requiring OMB approval. Under 5 CFR part 1320, an agency may not conduct or sponsor a
collection of information unless it displays a current, valid OMB
Control Number. No person shall be subject to any penalty for failing
to comply with a collection of information subject to the Paperwork
Reduction Act that does not display a valid OMB Control Number. The
foregoing notice is required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
Public Law 10413, October 1, 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3507. Broadcast licensees
are reminded that, as enumerated in paragraph 78 of the Report and
Order and Order on Reconsideration, licensees with a pending waiver
request that involves an existing station combination consisting of
more than one newspaper and/or more than one broadcast station will
have 90 days after the changes to 47 CFR 73.3555(d) become effective to
either amend their renewal or waiver requests or file a request for a
permanent waiver. Entities that have been granted a temporary waiver of
the newspaper/broadcast crossownership rule pending the completion of
this rulemaking will have 90 days after the changes to 47 CFR
73.3555(d) become effective to either amend their renewal or waiver
requests or file a request for a permanent waiver. See 73 FR at 9483, 9487.
