FCC Form2100, Application for Media Bureau Video Service Authorization, Schedule 387 (Transition Progress Report)

This submission is being made to the Office of Management (OMB) for the continuous approval of information collection requirements contained in the Commission’s Incentive Auction R&O, which adopted rules for holding an Incentive Auction, as required by the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 (Spectrum Act). The Spectrum Act directed the Commission to hold a “reverse auction” in which broadcasters can voluntarily return some or all of their broadcast spectrum usage rights in exchange for incentive payments. The Spectrum Act also required the Commission to reorganize the broadcast television band, which will be accomplished by repacking stations, or moving broadcast stations to different channels. The Spectrum Act directed the Commission to hold a forward auction of the ultra-high frequency (UHF) spectrum obtained as a result of the reverse auction and channel repacking, to be auctioned as flexible-use licenses suitable for providing mobile broadband service.
