The Commission is submitting this
non-substantive change request to the Office of Budget and
Management (OMB) for approval of minor non-substantive changes made
to former FCC Form 301. The Commission is implementing a new
on-line (electronic) licensing system called "Licensing
Modernization" in which all FCC licensing forms, including former
FCC Form 301, will be combined into a single common form - FCC Form
2100. Former FCC Form 301 is encompassed by the "Licensing
Modernization" system and the new common form - FCC Form 2100.
General questions, which were formally asked in all licensing
applications, will compose the body of FCC Form 2100. The questions
pertinent only to former FCC Form 301 applicants will now be
contained in Schedule A of FCC Form 2100. The substance of former
FCC Form 301 remains the same in the new system/ form. The wording
of each question applicable to former FCC Form 301 applicants in
FCC Form 2100 is identical to that of the former FCC Form 301, with
one exception – "Alien Ownership," which is discussed below as
"Change #2" – but as stated, the substance remains the same. All
that is changing is the name of the form and the order, in some
cases, in which questions are asked. The burden hours and costs are
not impacted by the minor non-substantive changes to the former FCC
Form 301, which will now be a part of the "Licensing Modernization"
system and FCC Form 2100.
