Sponsorship Identification Requirements for Foreign Government-Provided Programming

In this document, the Federal Communications Commission (Commission) announces that the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has approved revisions to the information collection requirements under OMB Control Number 3060-0174, as associated with the revisions in the Federal Communications Commission's Second Report and Order: Sponsorship Identification Requirements for Foreign Government-Provided Programming, FCC 24-61 (Second R&O). The Second R&O adopted a requirement that radio and television stations broadcast clear disclosures for programming that is provided by a foreign governmental entity and set forth the procedures for exercising reasonable diligence to determine whether such a disclosure is needed. This document is consistent with the Second R&O, which states that the Commission will publish a document in the Federal Register announcing the effective date for these amended rule sections and revise the rules accordingly.
