What changed

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has published a notice regarding the review of an information collection under OMB Control Number 3060-0236, specifically concerning Section 74.703(h) of its rules related to interference for digital low power television and television translator stations. This is a revision of a currently approved collection, with an estimated burden of 2 hours per response for 50 respondents, totaling 100 annual hours and $100,000 in annual costs. The notice seeks public comments on the practical utility, accuracy of the burden estimate, and ways to minimize the collection's burden.

Regulated entities, including businesses, state, local, or tribal governments, and non-profit institutions, should review this information collection. Public comments must be submitted by May 26, 2026.
