Needs and Uses: On April 28, 2017,
the Commission released the Business
Data Services Order, WC Docket No. 16–
143 et al., FCC 17–43, which establishes
a new regulatory framework for business
data services. Under this framework,
price cap incumbent LECS are no longer
subject to price cap regulation of their:
(a) Packet-based business data services;
(b) time-division multiplexing (TDM)
transport business data services; (c)
TDM business data services with
bandwidth in excess of a DS3; and (d)
DS1 and DS3 end user channel
terminations, and other lower
bandwidth TDM business data services,
to the extent a price cap incumbent LEC
provides them in counties deemed
competitive under the Commission’s
competitive market test or in counties
for which the price cap incumbent LEC
had obtained Phase II pricing flexibility
under the Commission’s prior regulatory
regime. The Business Data Services
Order required that, within 36 months
of its effective date (i.e., by August 1,
2020), price cap incumbent LECs must
remove all business data services that
are no longer subject to price cap
regulation from their interstate tariffs.
The Order also required that, by that
same deadline, competitive LECs must
remove all business data services from
their interstate tariffs.
The information collected through the
carriers’ tariffs is used by the
Commission and state commissions to
determine whether services offered are
just and reasonable as the Act requires.
The tariffs and any supporting
documentation are examined in order to
determine if the services are offered in
a just and reasonable manner.

television broadcasters to use the ‘‘Next
Generation’’ broadcast television (Next
Gen TV) transmission standard, also
called ‘‘ATSC 3.0’’ or ‘‘3.0,’’ on a
voluntary, market-driven basis. This
authorization is subject to broadcasters
continuing to deliver current-generation
digital television (DTV) service, using
the ATSC 1.0 transmission standard,
also called ‘‘ATSC 1.0’’ or ‘‘1.0,’’ to their
viewers. The requirement to continue to
provide ATSC 1.0 service is called
‘‘local simulcasting.’’ The local
simulcasting rules (47 CFR 73.3801
(full-power TV), 73.6029 (Class A TV),
and 74.782 (low-power TV),) contain the
following information collection
requirements which require OMB
approval.
License Application to FCC/FCC
Form 2100 (Reporting Requirement; 47
CFR 73.3801(f), 73.6029(f), and
74.782(g)): A broadcaster must file an
application (FCC Form 2100) with the
Commission, and receive Commission
approval, before: (i) Moving its ATSC
1.0 signal to the facilities of a host
station, moving that signal from the
facilities of an existing host station to
the facilities of a different host station,
or discontinuing an ATSC 1.0 guest
signal; (ii) commencing the airing of an
ATSC 3.0 signal on the facilities of a
host station (that has already converted
to ATSC 3.0 operation), moving its
ATSC 3.0 signal to the facilities of a
different host station, or discontinuing
an ATSC 3.0 guest signal; or (iii)
converting its existing station to
transmit an ATSC 3.0 signal or
converting the station from ATSC 3.0
back to ATSC 1.0 transmissions. As
directed by the Commission, the Media
Bureau will be amending FCC Form
