Abstract: FCC Form 302-TV is used by licensees/permittees of TV broadcast stations to obtain a new or modified station license and/or to notify the Commission of certain changes in the licensed facilities. Form 302-DTV is used by licensees/permittees of DTV stations to obtain a new/modified station license, and/or to notify the FCC of certain changes in the licensed facilities of those stations. FCC 340 is used to apply for authority to construct a new NCE FM, TV, and DTV broadcast station, or to make changes in the existing facilities. FCC Form 349 is used to apply to authority to construct a new FM translator or FM booster broadcast station, or to make changes in the existing facilities of such stations. On December 22, 2007, the FCC adopted the Report and Order, (R&O), MB Docket 07-91, FCC 07-228, to consider the procedures and rule changes necessary to complete the nations's transition to DTV, including how best to ensure that broadcasters complete construction of their facilities on their final, post-transition (digital) channel by the statutory deadline. FCC Form 340 was revised to accommodate the filing of applications to construct or modify post-transition facilities. The R&O requires stations that have applied to construct or modify post-transitions facilities must use the FCC Form 302-DTV to obtain a new or modified station licensees to cover those post-transition facilities.
