Television Programming Rules;
Modernization of Media Regulation
Initiative, adopted and released on July
10, 2019. The R&O modernizes the
children’s television programming rules
in light of changes to the media
landscape that have occurred since the
rules were first adopted. Among other
revisions, the R&O revises the children’s
television programming rules to expand
the Core Programming hours to 6:00
a.m. to 10:00 p.m.; modify the safe
harbor processing guidelines for
determining compliance with the

children’s programming rules; requires
that broadcast stations air the
substantial majority of their Core
Programming on their primary program
streams, but permit broadcast stations to
air up to 13 hours per quarter of
regularly scheduled weekly
programming on a multicast stream;
eliminates the additional processing
guideline applicable to stations that
multicast; and modify the rules
governing preemption of Core
Programming. In addition, the R&O
eliminates the requirements that the
reports include information describing
the educational and informational
purpose of each Core Program aired
during the current reporting period and
each Core Program that the licensee
expects to air during the next reporting
period; eliminating the requirement to
identify the program guide publishers
who were sent information regarding
the licensee’s Core Programs; and
streamlining the form by eliminating
certain fields. The R&O also eliminates
the requirement to publicize the
Children’s Television Programming
Reports.

Total Annual Burden: 15,317 hours.
Annual Cost Burden: $62,444,288.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No
impact(s).
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is no need for confidentiality with
this collection of information.
Needs and Uses: FCC Form 301 is
used to apply for authority to construct
a new commercial AM or FM broadcast
station and to make changes to existing
facilities of such a station. It may be
used to request a change of a station’s
community of license by AM and nonreserved band FM permittees and
licensees. In addition, FM licensees or
permittees may request, by filing an
application on FCC Form 301, upgrades
on adjacent and co-channels,
modifications to adjacent channels of
the same class, and downgrades to
adjacent channels. All applicants using
this one-step process must demonstrate
that a suitable site exists that would
comply with allotment standards with
respect to minimum distance separation
and principal community coverage and
that would be suitable for tower
construction. For applicants seeking a
community of license change through
this one-step process, the proposed
facility must be mutually exclusive with
the applicant’s existing facility, and the
new facility must comply with the
Commission’s standards with respect to
minimum distance separation and
principal community coverage.
Applicants availing themselves of this
procedure must also attach an exhibit
demonstrating that the proposed
community of license change comports
with the fair, efficient, and equitable
distribution of radio service, pursuant to
Section 307(b) of the Communications
Act of 1934, as amended (the Act).
FCC Form 301 also accommodates
commercial FM applicants applying in
a Threshold Qualifications Window (TQ
Window) for a Tribal Allotment. A
commercial FM applicant applying in
the TQ Window, who was not the
original proponent of the Tribal
Allotment at the rulemaking stage, must
demonstrate that it would have
qualified in all respects to add that
particular Tribal Allotment for which it
is applying. Additionally, a petitioner
seeking to add a new Tribal Allotment
to the FM Table of Allotments must file
Form 301 when submitting its Petition
for Rulemaking. The collection also
accommodates applicants applying in a
TQ Window for a Tribal Allotment that
had been added to the FM Table of
Allotments using the Tribal Priority
under the ‘‘threshold qualifications’’
procedures.
Similarly, to receive authorization for
commencement of Digital Television

16:56 Feb 13, 2020
Jkt 250001
(DTV) operations, commercial broadcast
licensees must file FCC Form 2100,
Schedule A for a construction permit.
The application may be filed any time
after receiving the initial DTV allotment
and before mid-point in the applicant’s
construction period. The Commission
will consider the application as a minor
change in facilities. Applicants do not
have to provide full legal or financial
qualifications information.
In the first phase of the ‘‘Licensing
and Management System’’ roll-out,
Form 2100, Schedule A replaced FCC
Form 301 only for the filing of fullservice digital television construction
permits. Subsequently, the Commission
received OMB approval for FM
Auxiliary Stations to transition from
CDBS to LMS using Form 2100,
Schedule 301–FM. FCC Form 301 is still
being used through CDBS to apply for
authority to construct a new full-service
commercial AM or FM commercial
broadcast station and to make changes
to the existing facilities of such stations.
This collection also includes the
third-party disclosure requirement of 47
CFR 73.3580. This rule requires
applicants to provide local public
notice, in a newspaper of general
circulation published in a community in
which a station is located, of requests
for new or major changes in facilities
and for changes of a station’s
community of license by AM and nonreserved band FM permittees and
licensees. The local notice must be
completed within 30 days of tendering
the application and must be published
at least twice a week for two
consecutive weeks in a three-week
period. A copy of the notice and the
application must be placed in the
station’s public inspection file, pursuant
to Section 73.3526.

Annual Cost Burden: $62,444,288.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for
confidentiality with this collection of information.
Needs and Uses: FCC Form 301 is used to apply for authority to
construct a new commercial AM or FM broadcast station and to make
changes to existing facilities of such a station. It may be used to
request a change of a station's community of license by AM and non-
reserved band FM permittees and licensees. In addition, FM licensees or
permittees may request, by filing an application on FCC Form 301,
upgrades on adjacent and co-channels, modifications to adjacent
channels of the same class, and downgrades to adjacent channels. All
applicants using this one-step process must demonstrate that a suitable
site exists that would comply with allotment standards with respect to
minimum distance separation and principal community coverage and that
would be suitable for tower construction. For applicants seeking a
community of license change through this one-step process, the proposed
facility must be mutually exclusive with the applicant's existing
facility, and the new facility must comply with the Commission's
standards with respect to minimum distance separation and principal
community coverage. Applicants availing themselves of this procedure
must also attach an exhibit demonstrating that the proposed community
of license change comports with the fair, efficient, and equitable
distribution of radio service, pursuant to Section 307(b) of the
Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the Act).
FCC Form 301 also accommodates commercial FM applicants applying in
a Threshold Qualifications Window (TQ Window) for a Tribal Allotment. A
commercial FM applicant applying in the TQ Window, who was not the
original proponent of the Tribal Allotment at the rulemaking stage,
must demonstrate that it would have qualified in all respects to add
that particular Tribal Allotment for which it is applying.
Additionally, a petitioner seeking to add a new Tribal Allotment to the
FM Table of Allotments must file Form 301 when submitting its Petition
for Rulemaking. The collection also accommodates applicants applying in
a TQ Window for a Tribal Allotment that had been added to the FM Table
of Allotments using the Tribal Priority under the ``threshold
qualifications'' procedures.
Similarly, to receive authorization for commencement of Digital
Television (DTV) operations, commercial broadcast licensees must file
FCC Form 2100, Schedule A for a construction permit. The application
may be filed any time after receiving the initial DTV allotment and
before mid-point in the applicant's construction period. The Commission
will consider the application as a minor change in facilities.
Applicants do not have to provide full legal or financial
qualifications information.
In the first phase of the ``Licensing and Management System'' roll-
out, Form 2100, Schedule A replaced FCC Form 301 only for the filing of
full-service digital television construction permits. Subsequently, the
Commission received OMB approval for FM Auxiliary Stations to
transition from CDBS to LMS using Form 2100, Schedule 301-FM. FCC Form
301 is still being used through CDBS to apply for authority to
construct a new full-service commercial AM or FM commercial broadcast
station and to make changes to the existing facilities of such
stations.
This collection also includes the third-party disclosure

confidentiality with this collection of information.
Needs and Uses: FCC Form 2100, Schedule E (formerly FCC Form 301-
CA) is to be used in all cases by a Class A television station
licensees seeking to make changes in the authorized facilities of such
station. FCC Form 2100, Schedule E requires applicants to certify
compliance with certain statutory and regulatory requirements. Detailed
instructions on the FCC Form 2100, Schedule E provide additional
information regarding Commission rules and policies. FCC Form 2100,
Schedule E is presented primarily in a ``Yes/No'' certification format.
However, it contains appropriate places for submitting explanations and
exhibits where necessary or appropriate. Each certification constitutes
a material representation. Applicants may only mark the ``Yes''
certification when they are certain that the response is correct. A
``No'' response is required if the applicant is requesting a waiver of
a pertinent rule and/or policy, or where the applicant is uncertain
that the application fully satisfies the pertinent rule and/or policy.
FCC Form 2100, Schedule E filings made to implement post-auction
channel changes will be considered minor change applications.
