Abstract: FCC Form 316 is required when applying for consent for assignment of a broadcast station construction permit or license, or for consent to transfer control of an entity holding a broadcast station construction permit or license where there is little change in the relative interest or disposition of its interests; where transfer of an interest is not a controlling one; where there is no substantial change in the beneficial ownership of the corporation; where the assignment is less than a controlling interest in a partnership; where there is an appointment of an entity qualified to succeed to the interest of a deceased or legally incapacitated individual permittee, licensee or controlling stockholder; and, in the case of LPFM stations, where there is a voluntary transfer of a controlling interest in the licensee or permittee entity. Please see the non-substantive change request justification for the reason behind this change request submission to the Office of Management and Budget for review and approval.
