Comments are due July 7, replies Aug. 4 on the FCC 2014 quadrennial review (QR) of media ownership rules, diversity rules returned to the agency by the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, and a potential disclosure requirement for TV-station shared service agreements (SSA), said an agency notice in Tuesday’s Federal Register (http://1.usa.gov/1j5QZLV). It said comments on the Paperwork Reduction Act aspects of information collection requirements associated with the proposed rules are due July 21 to the Office of Management and Budget. A party-line FCC voted March 31 on a further NPRM beginning the new QR, incorporating a never-finished 2010 QR and proposing to require disclosure of SSAs (http://1.usa.gov/1j5QZLV) (CD April 1 p4). The FCC separately said Tuesday a rule also adopted at that commissioner meeting, requiring ownership quota attribution of TV-station joint sales agreement, takes effect next month.
