Abstract: The Commission is submitting this revision to this information collection, which results from the provisions adopted in the FCC 15-175. On December 17, 2015, the Commission adopted the Third Report and Order and Fourth Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, In the Matter of Amendment of Parts 73 and 74 of the Commission’s Rules to Establish Rules for Digital Low Power Television Translator, and Television Booster Stations and to Amend Rules for Digital Class A Television Stations, MB Docket No. 03-185, FCC 15-175 (“LPTV Digital Third Report and Order and Fourth Notice”). This document approved channel sharing between LPTV and TV translator stations as well as created a new digital-to-digital replacement translator. Please see the non-substantive change request for the justification for this submission to the Office of Management and Budget for approval. There are changes to FCC Form 2100, Schedule C to implement channel sharing between low power television (LPTV) and TV translator stations. There are also changes to the substance, burden hours, and costs as described herein. 47 C.F.R. section 74.800 permits LPTV and TV translator stations to seek approval to share a single television channel. Stations interested in terminating operations and sharing another station’s channel must submit FCC Form 2100 Schedule C in order to have the channel sharing arrangement approved. If the sharing station is proposing to make changes to its facility to accommodate the channel sharing, it must also file FCC Form 2100 Schedule C. 47 C.F.R. section 74.787 permits full power television stations to obtain a digital-to-digital replacement translator to replace service areas lost as a result of the incentive auction and repacking processes. Stations submit FCC Form 2100 Schedule C to obtain a construction permit for the new replacement translator. Please see the non-substantive change request for the justification for this submission to the Office of Management and Budget for approval.
