FCC Form 2100, Schedule B (formerly
FCC Form 302-DTV) is used by licensees and permittees of full power
broadcast stations to obtain a new or modified station license
and/or to notify the Commission of certain changes in the licensed
facilities of those stations. It may be used: (1) To cover an
authorized construction permit (or auxiliary antenna), provided
that the facilities have been constructed in compliance with the
provisions and conditions specified on the construction permit; or
(2) To implement modifications to existing licenses as permitted by
47 C.F.R. Sections 73.1675(c) or 73.1690(c). This submission is
being made to the Office of Management (OMB) for the approval of
information collection requirements contained in the Commission’s
Incentive Auction Order, the Channel Sharing Order on
Reconsideration, and the Second Channel Sharing Order On
Reconsideration, which adopted rules for holding an Incentive
Auction, as required by the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job
Creation Act of 2012 (Spectrum Act). The Spectrum Act directs the
Commission to hold a “reverse auction” in which broadcasters can
voluntarily return some or all of their broadcast spectrum usage
rights in exchange for incentive payments. The Spectrum Act also
requires the Commission to reorganize the broadcast television
band, which will be accomplished by repacking stations, or moving
broadcast stations to different channels. The Spectrum Act directs
the Commission to hold a forward auction of the ultra-high
frequency (UHF) spectrum obtained as a result of the reverse
auction and channel repacking. This UHF spectrum will be auctioned
as flexible-use licenses suitable for providing mobile broadband
service. The Spectrum Act establishes a TV Broadcaster Relocation
Fund (Fund) to reimburse reassigned broadcasters and multichannel
video programming distributors (MVPDs) that incur expenses
associated with continuing to carry relocated stations, for their
reasonable expenses resulting from the post-auction channel
reassignment.
The Commission has program
changes/increases to this collection which are due to the
requirements adopted in FCC 14-50 and 15-67. These program
changes/increases are as follows: 655 additional respondents; 655
additional responses; 1,310 additional burden hours and $120,575.00
in annual cost.
