The Commission is requesting approval for non-substantial changes to collection 3060-0027, FCC Form 2100, Schedule A (formerly FCC Form 301). As a result of the Commission's recent decision to attribute certain television joint sales agreements ("JSAs"), the multiple ownership question in the Attributable Interest Section is being changed to require an affirmative response if the applicant or any party to the application holds an attributable television JSA in the same market as the station subject to the application. The question was previously limited to attributable radio JSAs and attributable radio and television time brokerage agreements.
This change does not add a new question to FCC Form 2100, Schedule A; rather, it modifies an existing question that all respondents are required to answer. Accordingly, this non-substantial change will not increase the burden or cost to commercial television broadcast construction permit applicants.
In addition to the change to the form detailed in the attached non-substantive justification change request, the Commission will make various conforming edits to the form's instructions.
