Abstract: This non-substantive change request submission serves as an amendment to the February 2014 Supporting Statement, a non-substantive change request submitted to the Office of Budget and Management for approval of minor non-substantive changes made to FCC Form 301, OMB Control No. 3060-0027. The first footnote in the February 2014 Supporting Statement that was submitted to OMB stated: "With this non-substantive change, FCC Form 301 is being renamed and encompassed by FCC Form 2100 and the electronic "Licensing Modernization" system. The former FCC Form 301 no longer exists, and its contents are fully contained within FCC Form 2100 and the "Licensing Modernization" system. Herein after former FCC Form 301 is renamed as FCC Form 2100, Schedule A." On February 20, 2014, OMB approved the new FCC Form 2100, OMB Control No. 3060-0027. This change request submission provides clarification regarding the status of the new Form 2100 and the existing Form 301, and the scope of the new Form 2100's implementation. While it is true that the Media Bureau ultimately intends to wholly replace the Form 301 with the Form 2100 for all full power broadcast services, the Commission is not yet totally discontinuing the use of the Form 301. The new Form 2100 will be used once the particular broadcast service (DTV, FM, AM) becomes operational in the new electronic on-line licensing system known as "Licensing Modernization." However, until the particular broadcast service transitions to the new "Licensing Modernization" system, applicants in that broadcast service will continue to use the existing Form 301, filing the form through the current Media Bureau licensing system, the Consolidated Database System ("CDBS"). Therefore, for now, in the initial phase of the "Licensing Modernization" roll-out, the new Form 2100 is replacing the Form 301 only for the filing of full-service digital television construction permits. The Form 301 is still being used, under the name Form 301, to apply for authority to construct a new commercial AM or FM radio station and to make changes to the existing facilities of such an AM or FM station. The Commission is implementing a new on-line (electronic) licensing system called "Licensing Modernization" in which all FCC licensing forms, including FCC Form 301, will be combined into a single common form - FCC Form 2100. FCC Form 301 will be encompassed by the "Licensing Modernization" system and the new common form - FCC Form 2100. See the change request justification for the detail non-substantive changes to this collection.
