Abstract: FCC Form 2100, Schedule B, is used by licensees and permittees of DTV broadcast stations to obtain a new or modified station license, and/or to notify the FCC of certain changes in the licensed facilities. The FCC uses the data to confirm that the station has been built to terms specified in the outstanding construction permit and to ensure that any changes to the station's authorized facilities, made without prior Commission approval, will not have any impact on other stations and the public. On June 12, 2015, the Commission released a First Order on Reconsideration and Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, In the Matter of Expanding the Economic and Innovation Opportunities of Spectrum Through Incentive Auctions, GN Docket No. 12-268 and MB Docket No. 15-137, FCC 15-67. This document contains proposed rules for channel sharing by and between full power and Class A television stations outside the context of the incentive auction. The proposed rules would allow full power stations to share a single channel with other full power or Class A stations. After sharing stations have obtained the necessary construction permits, implemented their shared facility, and initiated shared operations, full power sharing stations will use FCC Form 2100, Schedule B (formerly FCC Form 302-DTV) to apply for a license. In addition, after sharing stations have obtained the necessary construction permits, implemented their shared facility, and initiated shared operations, a station relinquishing its channel would notify the Commission that it has terminated operation on that channel at the same time that the sharing stations file applications for license. No changes to FCC Form 2100, Schedule B are required for it to be used to file applications for license for channel sharing outside the auction context; this collection is being changed to reflect the proposed use of the form for a new purpose – to apply for a license to channel share outside the context of the incentive auction. This collection is also being changed to reflect the burden associated notifying the Commission that a station relinquishing its channel has terminated operation on that channel.
