Abstract: FCC Form 340 is used by licensees and permittees to apply for authority to construct a new noncommercial educational ("NCE") FM and DTV broadcast station (including a DTS facility ), or to make changes in the existing facilities of such a station. FCC Form 340 is only used if the station will operate on a channel that is reserved exclusively for NCE use, or in the situation where applications for NCE stations on non-reserved channels are mutually exclusive only with one another. Also, FCC Form 340 is used by Native American Tribes and Alaska Native Villages ("Tribes"), tribal consortia, or entities owned or controlled by Tribes when qualifying for the "Tribal Priority" under 47 C.F.R. §§ 73.7000, 73.7002.
