Non-substantive Change Request Justification

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

OMB Control Number: 3060-1240

ICR Reference Number 201707-3060-017

Request: No material/non-substantive change request.

On [[September 11, 2017]], the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) extended the approval under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) for a new information collection by the Federal Communications Commission (Commission) on FCC Form 2100, Schedule 387 (Transition Progress Report), which will be used by broadcast stations that are transitioning to new channels as part of the Commission’s channel reassignment plan. The supporting statement and supplementary documents accompanying the Commission’s PRA approval request for the Transition Progress Report provided that broadcasters must answer the following question:

3. Are radio frequency (RF) tower studies required in order for the Station to construct its post-auction facility? (Y, N) (If No, go to Item 4)

1. RF tower studies have been started (Y, N)

2. RF tower studies have been completed (Y, N)
   
   

The due date for broadcasters to submit the first Transition Progress Report is October 10, 2017. The Commission has received inquiries from affected stations about how to respond to the question above, and the confusion stems from the inclusion of the word “tower.” To provide clarity to broadcasters, the Commission has made minor editorial change to remove the word “tower” from question (3), (3)(a), and (3)(b).

This change request does not have an impact on the burden hours or costs for this collection.
