FCC 302-CA Instructions
June 2002

Applicants should use only those state abbreviations
approved by the U.S. Postal Service.

H. This application requires applicants to certify compliance
with certain statutory and regulatory requirements.
Detailed instructions provide additional information
regarding Commission rules and policies. These materials
are designed to track the standards and criteria which the
Commission applies to determine compliance and to
increase the reliability of applicant certifications. They are
not intended to be a substitute for familiarity with the
Communications Act and the Commission's regulations,
policies, and precedent. While applicants are required to
review all application instructions, they are not required to
complete or retain any documentation created or collected
to complete the application.
I.

J.

FCC Registration Number (FRN). To comply with the
Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996, the applicant
must enter its FRN number, a ten-digit unique entity
identifier for anyone doing business with the
Commission. The FRN can be obtained through the FCC
webpage at http://www.fcc.gov or by manually
submitting FCC Form 160. FCC Form 160 is available
for downloading from http://www.fcc.gov/formpage.
html or by calling 1-800-418-3676.
Questions
concerning the FCC Registration Number can be directed
to the Commission’s Registration System help desk at
1-877http://[email protected] or by calling
480-3201.

This application is presented primarily in a "Yes/No"
certification format. However, it contains appropriate
places for submitting explanations and exhibits where
necessary or appropriate. Each certification constitutes a
material representation. Applicants may only mark the
"Yes" certification when they are certain that the response
is correct. A "No" response is required if the applicant is
requesting a waiver of a pertinent rule and/or policy, or
where the applicant is uncertain that the application fully
satisfies the pertinent rule and/or policy. Thus, a "No"
response to any of the certification items will not cause the
immediate dismissal of the application provided that an
appropriate exhibit is submitted.

Facility ID Number. Radio and TV Facility ID Numbers
can be obtained at the FCC's Internet Website at
www.fcc.gov/mmb/asd/seacall.html or by calling: Radio

represented by a third party (for example, legal counsel),
that person's name, firm or company, and
telephone/electronic mail address may be specified in
Item 2.

The applicant, and the applicant's authorized
engineering representative, if any, must sign the
application. Depending on the nature of the applicant, the
application should be signed as follows: if a sole
proprietorship, personally; if a partnership, by a general
partner; if a corporation, by an officer; for an
unincorporated association, by a member who is an officer;
if a governmental entity, by such duly elected or appointed
official as is competent under the laws of the particular
jurisdiction. Counsel may sign the application for his or
her client, but only in cases of the applicant's disability or
absence from the United States. If the application is filed
electronically, the signature will consist of the electronic
equivalent of the typed name of the individual. See Report

SECTION

I:

C. Item 3: Fees. The Commission is statutorily required to
collect charges for certain regulatory services to the public.
Generally, applicants seeking a license to cover a facility
authorized by and constructed pursuant to an outstanding
construction permit are required to pay and submit a fee
with the filing of the application. However, governmental
entities, which include any possession, state, city, county,
town, village, municipal corporation or similar political
organization or subpart thereof controlled by publicly
elected and/or duly appointed public officials exercising
sovereign direction and control over their respective
communities or programs, are exempt from the payment of
this fee. Also exempted from this fee are licensees and
permittees of noncommercial educational FM and fullservice television broadcast stations seeking to construct
new LPTV, TV translator or TV booster stations, or to
make major changes in the authorized facilities of such
stations, provided those stations will be operated or operate
on a noncommercial educational basis. Applicants that
earlier obtained either a fee refund because of a NTIA
facilities grant for the station or a fee waiver because of
demonstrated compliance with the eligibility and service
requirements of 47 C.F.R. Section 73.621, are similarly
exempt from payment of this fee. See 47 C.F.R. Section
1.1114.

GENERAL

A. Item 1: Applicant Name. The legal name of the applicant
must be stated exactly in Item 1. If the applicant is a
corporation, the applicant should list the exact corporate
name; if a partnership, the name under which the
partnership does business; if an unincorporated association,
the name of an executive officer, his/her office, and the
name of the association; and, if an individual applicant, the
person's full legal name.

2

When filing a fee-exempt application, an applicant must
complete Item 3 and provide an explanation as appropriate.
Applications NOT subject to a fee may be hand-delivered
or mailed to the FCC at its Washington, D.C. offices. See
47 C.F.R. Section 0.401(a). Fee-exempt applications
should not be sent to the Mellon Bank Lockbox; so doing
will result in a delay in processing the application.

SECTION

II:

LEGAL

A. Item 1: Certification. Each applicant is responsible for
the information that the application instructions convey. As
a key element in the Commission's streamlined licensing
process, a certification that these materials have been
reviewed and that each question response is based on the
applicant's review is required.

The Commission's fee collection program utilizes a U.S.
Treasury lockbox bank for maximum efficiency of
collection and processing. Prior to the institution of
electronic filing procedures, all FCC Form 302-CA
applications requiring the remittance of a fee, or for which
a waiver or deferral from the fee requirement is requested,
should be mailed, along with the required FCC Form 159,
to the Federal Communications Commission, Mass Media
Services, P.O. Box 358165, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
15251-5165. Hand-delivered FCC Form 302-CA and 159
can be submitted to the Commission’s lockbox bank, the
Mellon Bank, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. See 47 C.F.R.
Section 0.401(b)(2).

B. Items 2 and 3: Statements of and Continued Eligibility
for Class A Status. On November 29, 1999, the
Community Broadcasters Protection Act of 1999 was
signed into law. That legislation provides that a low power
television licensee may convert the secondary status of its
station to the new Class A status, provided it can satisfy
certain statutorily-established criteria. To become eligible
for a Class A certificate of eligibility, the licensee’s station
must, during the 90-day period ending November 28, 1999,
have: (1) broadcast a minimum of 18 hours per day; (2)
broadcast an average of at least three hours per week of
programming produced within the market area served by
the station or by a group of commonly-controlled low
power television stations; and (3) been in compliance with
the Commission’s regulations applicable to the low power
television service. In the event that a low power television
licensee is not able to satisfy the foregoing criteria, the
Commission is empowered by the legislation to issue a
certificate of eligibility if it determines that the public
interest, convenience and necessity would be served
thereby. The legislation also provided that licensees
intending to seek Class A designation file a certification of
eligibility with the Commission no later than January 28,
2000. A Class A licensee shall continue to be accorded
primary status as a television broadcaster as long as its
station continues to meet the requirements of (1) and (2)
above.

Payment of any required fee must be made by check, bank
draft, money order, or credit card. If payment is made by
check, bank draft, or money order, the remittance must be
denominated in U.S. dollars, drawn upon a U.S. institution,
and made payable to the Federal Communications
Commission. No postdated, altered, or third-party checks
will be accepted. DO NOT SEND CASH. Additionally,
checks dated six months or older will not be accepted.
Procedures for payment of application fees when
applications are filed electronically will be announced by
subsequent Public Notice. See General Instruction C
above. Payment of application fees may also be made by
Electronic Payment prior to the institution of electronic
filing, provided that prior approval has been obtained from
the Commission. Applicants interested in this option must
first contact the Credit and Debt Management Center at
(202) 418-1995 to make the necessary arrangements.

C. Item 4: Local Public Notice. Applicants seeking Class A
status for their licensed or authorized facilities are required
to broadcast announcements informing the public of the
filing of FCC Form 302-CA. The required notices must be
broadcast both before and after the tendering of FCC Form
302-CA with the Commission and the application’s
simultaneous inclusion in the station’s local public
inspection file. The required timing and content of the
local notice broadcast is set forth in 47 C.F.R. Section
73.3580(d)(4). Worksheet #1 attached to these instructions
provides additional guidance. Proof of completion of
publication need not be filed with the Commission.

Applicants hand-delivering FCC Forms 302-CA may
receive dated receipt copies by presenting copies of the
applications to the acceptance clerk at the time of delivery.
For mailed-in applications, a "return copy" of the
application should be furnished and clearly marked as a
"return copy." The applicant should attach this copy to a
stamped, self-addressed envelope. Only one piece of paper
per application will be stamped for receipt purposes.
For further information regarding the applicability of a fee,
the amount of the fee, or the payment of the fee, applicants
should consult the “Mass Media Services Fee Filing
Guide.”

D. Items 5 and 6: Character Issues/Adverse Findings. Item
5 requires the applicant to certify that neither it nor any
party to the application has had any interest in or
connection with an application that was or is the subject of
unresolved character issues. An applicant must disclose in
response to Item 6 whether the applicant or any party to the

3

the call letters of the station regarding which the application
or Section 1.65 information was filed, and the date of filing.
The applicant should also fully explain why the adverse
finding is not an impediment to a grant of this application.

application has been the subject of a final adverse finding
with respect to certain relevant non-broadcast matters. The
Commission's character policies and litigation reporting
requirements for broadcast applicants focus on misconduct
which violates the Communications Act or a Commission
rule or policy and on certain specified non-FCC
misconduct. In responding to Items 5 and 6, applicants
should review the Commission's character qualifications
policies, which are fully set forth in Character
Qualifications, 102 FCC 2d 1179 (1985), reconsideration
denied, 1 FCC Rcd 421 (1986), as modified, 5 FCC Rcd
3252 (1990) and 7 FCC Rcd 6564 (1992).

E. Item 7: Anti-Drug Abuse Act Certification. This
question requires the applicant to certify that neither it nor
any party to the application is subject to denial of federal
benefits pursuant to the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988, 21
U.S.C. Section 862.
Section 5301 of the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988 provides
federal and state court judges the discretion to deny federal
benefits to individuals convicted of offenses consisting of
the distribution or possession of controlled substances.
Federal benefits within the scope of the statute include FCC
authorizations. A "Yes" response to Item 9 constitutes a
certification that neither the applicant nor any party to this
application has been convicted of such an offense or, if it
has, it is not ineligible to receive the authorization sought
by this application because of Section 5301.

NOTE: As used in this question, the term "party to the
application" includes any individual or entity whose
ownership or positional interest in the applicant is
attributable. An attributable interest is an ownership
interest in or relation to an applicant or licensee which will
confer on its holder that degree of influence or control over
the applicant or licensee sufficient to implicate the
Commission's multiple ownership rules. See Report and
Order in MM Docket No. 83-46, 97 FCC 2d 997 (1984),
reconsideration granted in part, 58 RR 2d 604 (1985),
further modified on reconsideration, 61 RR 2d 739 (1986).

NOTE: With respect to this question, the term "party to the
application" includes if the applicant is an individual, that
individual; if the applicant is a corporation or
unincorporated association, all officers, directors, or
persons holding 5 percent or more of the outstanding stock
or shares (voting and/or non-voting) of the applicant; all
members if a membership association; and if the applicant
is a partnership, all general partners and all limited partners,
including both insulated and non-insulated limited partners,
holding a 5 percent or more interest in the partnership.

Where the response to Item 5 is "No," the applicant must
submit an exhibit that includes an identification of the party
having had the interest, the call letters and location of the
station or file number of the application or docket, and a
description of the nature of the interest or connection,
including relevant dates. The applicant should also fully
explain why the unresolved character issue is not an
impediment to a grant of this application.
F.
In responding to Item 6, the applicant should consider any
relevant adverse finding that occurred within the past ten
years. Where that adverse finding was fully disclosed to
the Commission in an application filed on behalf of this
station or in another broadcast station application and the
Commission, by specific ruling or by subsequent grant of
the application, found the adverse finding not to be
disqualifying, it need not be reported again and the
applicant may respond "Yes" to this item. However, an
adverse finding that has not been reported to the
Commission and considered in connection with a prior
application would require a "No" response.
Where the response to Item 6 is "No," the applicant must
provide in an exhibit a full disclosure of the persons and
matters involved, including an identification of the court or
administrative body and the proceeding (by dates and file
numbers), and the disposition of the litigation. Where the
requisite information has been earlier disclosed in
connection with another pending application, or as required
by 47 U.S.C. Section 1.65(c), the applicant need only
provide an identification of that previous submission by
reference to the file number in the case of an application,

Item 8. Main Studio. The main studio of a Class A
station may be located at the site utilized by the station as of
November 28, 1999, or at any site within the station’s
Grade B contour, as defined in 47 C.F.R. Section 73.683.
In order to qualify as a “main studio,” the location must be
equipped with appropriate equipment capable of originating
programming at any time. Additionally, the studio must be
staffed by at least one management-level employee and
one staff-level employee at all times during regular
business hours. See Jones, Eastern of the Outer Banks,
Inc., 6 FCC Rcd 3615 (1991), clarified, 7 FCC Rcd 6800
(1992), aff’d, 10 FCC Rcd 3759 (1995). Further, each
Class A broadcast station must at all times maintain a local
or toll-free telephone line from its community of license to
its main studio, wherever located.

G. Item 9. Public Inspection File. A Class A licensee must
maintain certain documents pertaining to its station in a file
kept at the station’s main studio. The file must be available
for inspection by anyone during the station’s regular
business hours. The documents to be maintained generally
include applications filed on behalf of the station, quarterly
lists of the community issues significantly addressed by the
station’s programming during the preceding three months,

4

and certain records regarding children’s educational and
informational programming and the amount of commercial
matter aired during the station’s broadcast of children’s
programming.
A complete listing of the required
documents and their mandatory retention periods is set
forth in 47 C.F.R. Section 73.3526.

Special Operating Conditions. The special operating
conditions are located on the final pages of the construction
permit.
Attach exhibits, if required, to document
compliance with the special operating conditions.
NOTE: SPECIAL OPERATING CONDITIONS MAY
PROHIBIT AUTOMATIC PROGRAM TEST
AUTHORITY. Automatic Program Test Authority: The
permittee of a Class A TV may begin program tests upon
filing FCC Form 302-CA with the FCC. See 47 C.F.R.
Section 73.1620. This provision does not apply if the
underlying construction permit contains a special
operating condition prohibiting automatic program test
authority.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR SECTION III: ENGINEERING
DATA AND PREPARER'S CERTIFICATION
A. Tech Box: The applicant must specify the information
requested in Items 1 through 6 of the Tech Box. The data
should accurately reflect the specifications set forth in the
LPTV station’s license or authorized construction permit or
in the Class A station’s underlying construction permit.

Preparer's Certification. When someone other than the
applicant has prepared the engineering section of FCC
Form 302-CA, Section III requires that person to certify, to
the best of his/her knowledge and belief, the veracity of the
technical data supplied.
The Section III preparer's
certification in FCC Form 302-CA need not be completed if
the engineering portion of the application has been
prepared by the applicant. In that event, the applicant's
certification in Section II of FCC Form 302-CA will
encompass both the legal and engineering sections of the
application.

The latitude and longitude coordinates for all points in the
United States are based upon the 1927 North American
Datum (NAD 27). The National Geodetic Survey is in the
process of replacing NAD 27 with the more accurate 1983
North American Datum (NAD 83) and updating current
topographic maps with NAD 83 datum. In addition,
coordinates determined by use of the satellite-based Global
Positioning System already reflect the NAD 83 datum. To
prevent intermixing of data using two different datums,
however, the Commission announced that until further
notice, applicants are to furnish coordinates based on the
NAD 27 datum on all submissions and the Commission
will continue to specify NAD 27 coordinates in its data
bases and authorizations. In addition, applicants who have
already filed applications with coordinates that reflect NAD
83 datum must provide NAD 27 coordinates to the
appropriate Commission licensing bureau. See Public
Notice, entitled "FCC Interim Procedures for the
Specification of Geographic Coordinates," 3 FCC Rcd
1478 (1988).
