On October 2, 2012, the Commission
released the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, Expanding the Economic
and Innovative Opportunities of Spectrum Through Incentive
Auctions, Docket No. 12-268, FCC 12-118 ("IA NPRM"). The IA NPRM
contains rules and policies for the incentive auction mandated by
Congress in the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of
2012, Pub. L. No. 112-96, 125 Stat. 156 (2012). Following the
completion of the incentive auction process, eligible stations that
are repacked to new channel assignments may request a waiver of the
service rules in lieu of seeking reimbursement of their repacking
expenses by submitting an informal filing. In addition, stations
that need additional time to relocate to their new channel
assignments may be required to submit a request for extension of
time (FCC Form 337), tolling notification, or request for Special
Temporary Authority (STA). These new requirements are provided in
47 C.F.R. § 73.3700. There will be no changes to FCC Form 337 as a
result of the proposed requirements adopted in FCC 12-118.
If the proposed requirements
contained in FCC 12-118 are adopted in a final rulemaking 915
respondents, 915 responses, 828 burden hours and $256,075 in annual
cost will be added to OMB's inventory.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;

these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
