Abstract: On December 19, 2025, the Commission released a Report and Order, FCC 25-84, concerning the advancement of the Class A, LPTV and TV translator services (LPTV Service). The Commission adopted a rule that provides that low power television and TV translator stations filing a displacement application (FCC Form 2100 – Schedule C) include an exhibit explaining how their facilities were displaced – 74.787(a)(4). The Commission also adopted a rule providing that an LPTV or TV translator channel sharee may cease channel sharing and seek to obtain a license for a non-shared channel by filing a major modification (FCC Form 2100, Schedule C) specifying a non-shared channel and facility – 74.799(i). Finally, the Commission adopted a rule – 74.793(j) – that requires that applicants seeking to construct facilities that would exceed the permissible interference levels in the rules pursuant to an agreement with the affected parties submit a copy of the agreement with their application. This submission is being made to OMB for approval of these new burdens. These changes will result in slight changes in the burden hours/responses.
