No
material or nonsubstantive change to a currently approved
collection
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 ISIX Methodology Order, which all 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. Please see the non-substantive change request for the
justification for this submission to the Office of Management and
Budget for approval.
