AFAIK, there has never been a law requiring X hours of PSA material. OTA broadcasters do have a duty to broadcast in the public interest and the FCC looks at how the broadcaster does so when it's license renewal time. From what I could find, it looks like 30 minutes a week was what the FCC looked for in terms of PSA material in either commercials or actual programming.
