released the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), 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, all channel sharing
Class A television stations will need to file FCC Form 302-CA
(renamed FCC Form 2100, Schedule F) for a new license for their
shared channel facility. This new requirement is provided in 47
C.F.R. § 73.3700. The Commission submitted this collection to the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) at the NPRM stage as
described above. On January 7, 2013, OMB issued a notice of action
stating comment filed on proposed rule and continue. With this
submission, the Commission is seeking OMB final approval for the
information collection requirements that were proposed in FCC
12-118 and adopted as proposed in FCC 14-50. Also, the Commission
received OMB approval for a name change for FCC 302-CA on December
29, 2014. It is formerly now named FCC Form 2100, Application for
Media Bureau Audio and Video Service Authorization, Schedule
F.
