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 347. The Commission is implementing a new
on-line (electronic) licensing system called "Licensing Management
System" (LMS) in which all FCC licensing forms, including former
FCC Form 347, will be combined into a single common form - FCC Form
2100. Former FCC Form 347 is encompassed by the LMS 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 347
applicants will now be contained in Schedule D of FCC Form 2100.
The substance of former FCC Form 347 remains the same in the new
system/ form. The wording of each question applicable to former FCC
Form 347 applicants in FCC Form 2100 is identical to that of the
former FCC Form 347. 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 347, which will now
be a part of the LMS and FCC Form 2100.
