The Media Bureau adopts the final catalog of expenses, embedded in FCC Form 2100, Schedule 399, to be used by broadcasters and MVPDs seeking reimbursement from the TV Broadcaster Relocation Fund following the Incentive Auction. The costs included in the catalog are not intended to be an exhaustive list of reimbursable expenses, but rather represent those expenses that relocated broadcasters and MVPDs will most commonly incur as a result of the channel repack. Entities can submit expenses not listed in the catalog using the ‘‘other’’ catchall categories found throughout the catalog. The Commission will send FCC Form 2100, Schedule 399 to the Office of Management and Budget for final approval of the information collection requirement contained therein under the Paperwork Reduction Act. The final version of the Reimbursement Form, FCC Form 2100, Schedule 399 (Reimbursement Form or Form), including the embedded expense catalog, will be submitted to the Office of Management and Budget for approval under the Paperwork Reduction Act. In addition, the Media Bureau adopts a process for making payments from the TV Broadcaster Relocation Fund via the Commission’s internal vendor payment PO 00000 Frm 00022 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 system, rather than requiring recipients to establish individual accounts with the U.S. Treasury, as had previously been announced. The Media Bureau found that this change would mitigate against waste, fraud and abuse by saving Commission resources and providing the agency with more control over the creation of payment accounts. The Media Bureau also adopts a process wherein a broadcaster or MVPD must submit information on the Reimbursement Form, with supporting cost documentation, each time it makes a request for reimbursement from the Fund, not only at the beginning and end of the reimbursement period. Finally, after seeking comment on which data points, if any, should be considered confidential or nor subject to public disclosure, the Media Bureau concludes that cost documentation submitted by entities seeking reimbursement for actual costs (for example, invoices), as well as the name, address, and other identifying information pertaining to the vendor providing equipment or service to a specific broadcaster or MVPD, will not be made publicly available.

    The Media Bureau adopts the final catalog of expenses, embedded in 
FCC Form 2100, Schedule 399, to be used by broadcasters and MVPDs 
seeking reimbursement from the TV Broadcaster Relocation Fund following 
the Incentive Auction. The costs included in the catalog are not 
intended to be an exhaustive list of reimbursable expenses, but rather 
represent those expenses that relocated broadcasters and MVPDs will 
most commonly incur as a result of the channel repack. Entities can 
submit expenses not listed in the catalog using the ``other'' catch-all 
categories found throughout the catalog. The Commission will send FCC 
Form 2100, Schedule 399 to the Office of Management and Budget for 
final approval of the information collection requirement contained 
therein under the Paperwork Reduction Act. The final version of the 
Reimbursement Form, FCC Form 2100, Schedule 399 (Reimbursement Form or 
Form), including the embedded expense catalog, will be submitted to the 
Office of Management and Budget for approval under the Paperwork 
Reduction Act.
    In addition, the Media Bureau adopts a process for making payments 
from the TV Broadcaster Relocation Fund via the Commission's internal

MVPD must submit information on the Reimbursement Form, with supporting 
cost documentation, each time it makes a request for reimbursement from 
the Fund, not only at the beginning and end of the reimbursement 
period.
    Finally, after seeking comment on which data points, if any, should

Media Bureau concludes that cost documentation submitted by entities 
seeking reimbursement for actual costs (for example, invoices), as well

the vendor providing equipment or service to a specific broadcaster or 
MVPD, will not be made publicly available.
    The Commission will send a copy of this document in a report to be 
sent to Congress and the Government Accountability Office pursuant to 
the Congressional Review Act, see 5 U.S.C. 801(a)(1)(A).
