The Spectrum Act requires the
Commission to reimburse eligible entities for costs “reasonably
incurred” to stations relocating to new channels as a result of the
repacking process or a winning reverse auction bid.The RAY BAUMS
Act of 2018 added the new categories of eligible entities that we
are now adding to the form. This information collection is a
standardized form for eligible entities to submit additional
information to facilitate incentive payments.
The Commission is reporting
program changes/increases to this revised collection. There are
increases to the total number of respondents of +2,500, total
annual responses of +2,500 and total annual burden hour of +12,500
hours as a result of allowing additional types of entities—TV
translator stations, low power TV stations, and FM radio stations
to this collection. There are no adjustments to this
collection.
