Non-substantive Change Request Justification

NON-SUBSTANTIVE CHANGE REQUEST JUSTIFICATION

OMB CONTROL NUMBER: 3060-0906

Annual DTV Ancillary/Supplementary Services Report for Digital Television Stations,

FCC Form 2100-Schedule G

The Commission submits this non-substantive change request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for approval of minor, non-substantive changes to FCC Form 2100-Schedule G, Annual DTV Ancillary/Supplementary Services Report for Digital Television Stations.

On April 12, 2018, the Commission adopted Amendment of Section 73.624(g) of the Commission’s Rules Regarding Submission of FCC Form 2100, Schedule G, Used to Report TV Stations’ Ancillary or Supplementary Services, Report and Order, FCC 18-41 (rel. Apr. 13, 2018). In the Report and Order, the Commission revised Section 73.624(g) of its rules to require only those digital television broadcast stations that actually provided feeable ancillary or supplementary services during the relevant reporting period to submit Form 2100, Schedule G to the Commission. The Commission found that requiring all DTV stations to file this form, regardless of whether they have provided ancillary or supplementary services or received revenue from those services, imposes unnecessary regulatory burdens and wastes resources. In addition to revising Section 73.624(g) of its rules, the Commission in the Report and Order revised Form 2100, Schedule G to conform to such rule amendments.

Because only digital stations that received revenues from the provision of ancillary or supplementary services during the reporting period will be required to submit Form 2100-Schedule G as a result of the changes to Section 73.624(g), the changes to that form eliminate questions relating to whether the filer has provided ancillary or supplementary services or received revenues from those services during such period. The changes, which are noted below, do not affect the substance, burden hours, or costs of completing the form.

Updates to FCC Form 2100-Schedule G (Ancillary or Supplementary Services):

• Elimination of the following question: “For the twelve-month period ended September 30, has the DTV licensee or permittee provided, at any time during the period, an ancillary or supplementary service as defined by 47 C.F.R. Section 73.624?” and the subsequent question “Yes or No”; and

• Elimination of text relating to whether a fee was charged for the provision of ancillary or supplementary services.
