Did anyone notice this FCC regulation change

The legal ID rule now includes the following new paragraph (47 CFR
73.1201(b)(3)):
(3) Twice daily, the station identification for television
stations must include a notice of the existence, location and
accessibility of the station's public file. The notice must
state that the station's public file is available for
inspection and that consumers can view it at the station's
main studio and on its Web site. At least one of the
announcements must occur between the hours of 6 p.m. and
midnight.
A note explains that this rule was introduced in March, but would not
become effective until the Office of Management and Budget had
approved it, because it "contains information collection and
recordkeeping requirements". I don't know why television stations are
singled out for this extra requirement.
