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 Class A 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,
Class A sharing stations will use FCC Form 2100, Schedule F
(formerly FCC Form 302-CA) 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 F 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.
