Needs and Uses: This submission is

to 44 U.S.C. 3507. This submission
contains revised FCC Form 2100,
Schedule 316 (Schedule 316) and its
accompanying instructions.
Schedule 316 is used to apply for
Commission consent to a pro forma
assignment of a broadcast station license
or construction permit, or a pro forma
transfer of control of an entity holding
a broadcast station license or
construction permit. Specifically, filing
of the Schedule 316 is required when
applying for consent to assignment of a
broadcast station construction permit or
license, or for consent to transfer control
of an entity holding a broadcast station
construction permit or license where
there is little change in the relative
interest or disposition of its interests;
where transfer of an interest is not a
controlling one; where there is no
substantial change in the beneficial
ownership of the corporation; where the
assignment is less than a controlling
interest in a partnership; where there is
an appointment of an entity qualified to
succeed to the interest of a deceased or
legally incapacitated individual
permittee, licensee or controlling
stockholder; and, in the case of LPFM
stations, where there is a voluntary
transfer of a controlling interest in the
licensee entity. In addition, the
applicant must notify the Commission
when an approved assignment or
transfer of control of a broadcast station
construction permit or license has been
consummated.
In October 2020, the Commission
submitted a non-substantive change
request to the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for approval of minor
non-substantive changes made to thenFCC Form 316.

The Media Bureau is transitioning to
a new on-line electronic licensing
database system called the ‘‘Licensing
Management System’’ (LMS) in which
all Media Bureau broadcast applications
and reporting forms will eventually be
filed. This database transition requires a
corresponding design conversion of all
existing forms previously filed in the
legacy CDBS database. The Media
Bureau has developed electronic, LMScompatible versions of various
broadcast station application and
reporting forms, such as this Schedule
316, as part of the database transition.
To accommodate the database transition
from CDBS to LMS in the 2020 phase of
the LMS roll-out, the new LMS-filed
Schedule 316 replaced the old CDBSfiled Form 316 for applications for
consent to a pro forma assignment or
pro forma transfer of control of a
broadcast license or construction permit
for TV, AM, and FM full-service
stations, TV and FM translator stations,
Low Power FM stations, Class A
Television stations, and Low Power
Television stations.
The substance, respondents, burden
hours and costs of this Information
Collection were not impacted by the
minor non-substantive changes. The
certification-based questions and
explanatory exhibit format on the
application remained the same.
OMB approved the non-substantive
change request on October 27, 2020.
