BAUM'S Act) section 1452.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: The information collection
includes information identifying bank accounts and providing account

information to be records not routinely available for public inspection
under 47 CFR 0.457, and exempt from disclosure under FOIA exemption 4
(5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4)).
Needs and Uses: The Spectrum Act requires the Commission to
reimburse broadcast television licensees for costs ``reasonably
incurred'' in relocating to new channels assigned in the repacking
process and Multichannel Video Programming Distributors (MVPDs) for
costs reasonably incurred in order to continue to carry the signals of
stations relocating to new channels as a result of the repacking
process or a winning reverse auction bid. RAY BAUM'S Act expands the
program to include reimbursement to TV translator stations, low power
TV stations, and FM radio stations. This information collection is
necessary for eligible entities to instruct the Commission on how to
pay the approved amounts the entities requested, and for the entities
to make certifications that reduce the risk of waste, fraud, abuse and
improper payments.
