FCC Form 2100, Schedule B, is used by
licensees and permittees of DTV broadcast stations to obtain a new
or modified station license, and/or to notify the FCC of certain
changes in the licensed facilities. The FCC uses the data to
confirm that the station has been built to terms specified in the
outstanding construction permit and to ensure that any changes to
the station's authorized facilities, made without prior Commission
approval, will not have any impact on other stations and the
public. The Commission is submitting this non-substantive change
request to the Office of Budget and Management (OMB) for approval
of minor non-substantive changes made to FCC Form 302-DTV. The
Commission plans to implement a new on-line (electronic) licensing
system called "Licensing Modernization" in which all FCC licensing
forms, including former FCC Form 302-DTV, will be combined into a
single common form - FCC Form 2100. Thus, FCC Form 302-DTV will be
encompassed by the "Licensing Modernization" system and the new
common form - FCC Form 2100. General questions, which were formally
asked in all licensing applications, will compose the body of FCC
Form 2100. The questions pertinent only to former FCC Form 302-DTV
applicants will now be contained in Schedule B of FCC Form 2100.
The substance of the former FCC Form 302-DTV remains the same in
the new system. The wording of each question applicable to former
FCC Form 302-DTV applicants in FCC Form 2100 is identical to that
of FCC Form 302-DTV, with two exceptions – "Alien Ownership" and
"Main Studio Location," which are discussed in the updated
supporting statement as Change #2 and Change #3; but as stated, the
substance remains the same. The burden hours and costs are not
impacted by the minor non-substantive changes to former FCC Form
302-DTV, which will now be a part of the "Licensing Modernization"
system and FCC Form 2100.
