Abstract: On July 20, 2023, the Commission adopted Amendment of Parts 73 and 74 of the Commission’s Rules to Establish Rules for Digital Low Power Television and Television Translator Stations, Fifth Report and Order, FCC 23-58 (rel. July 20, 2023) (FM6 Report and Order). The Commission adopted a new requirement that FM6 LPTV stations certify in their license renewal application that they have continued to provide FM6 operations in accordance with the FM6 rules during their prior license term. The Commission delegated authority to the Media Bureau to determine the most appropriate means for these stations to make such certification, be it by an attachment to the renewal application or some other reasonable means. This requirement is contained in 47 CFR 74.790(o)(10). This submission was made to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for approval of the renewal certification requirement for FM6 LPTV stations as adopted in the FM6 Report and Order. Since the certification will be included as an additional exhibit to the existing form, it did not necessitate changes to LMS Form 2100 Schedule 303-S.

There are adjustments of -402 to the number of respondents, -402 to the annual number of responses, -1,792 to the annual burden hours and +$183,367 to the annual cost. The updates to the number of applications/respondents in questions #12 and #13, simply reflect the current number of licensing of broadcast stations since the last radio broadcast license renewal cycle in 2019-2022. Any cost differences are due to normal inflationary price increases since the last extension to this collection.
