Information Collection Being Reviewed by the Federal 
Communications Commission Under Delegated Authority

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, 
and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), the 
Federal Communications Commission (FCC or Commission) invites the 
general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to 
comment on the following information collections. Comments are 
requested concerning: whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the 
Commission, including whether the information shall have practical 
utility; the accuracy of the Commission's burden estimate; ways to 
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; 
ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on the 
respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology; and ways to further reduce the 
information collection burden on small business concerns with fewer 
than 25 employees. The FCC may not conduct or sponsor a collection of 
information unless it displays a currently valid Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) control number. No person shall be subject to any 
penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information subject 
to the PRA that does not display a valid OMB control number.

DATES: Written comments shall be submitted on or before January 27, 
2023. If you anticipate that you will be submitting comments but find 
it difficult to do so within the period of time allowed by this notice, 
you should advise the contacts below as soon as possible.

ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to Cathy Williams, FCC, via email: 
[email protected] and to [email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For additional information about the 
information collection, contact Cathy Williams at (202) 418-2918.

amended; the Community Broadcasters Protection Act of 1999, Public Law

(Spectrum Act).
    Total Annual Burden: 750 hours.
    Annual Cost Burden: $208,220.
    Needs and Uses: FCC Form 2100, Schedule B (formerly FCC Form 302-
DTV) is used by licensees and permittees of full power broadcast 
stations to obtain a new or modified station license and/or to notify 
the Commission of certain changes in the licensed facilities of those 
stations. It may be used: (1) To cover an authorized construction 
permit (or auxiliary antenna), provided that the facilities have been 
constructed in compliance with the provisions and conditions specified 
on the construction permit; or (2) To implement modifications to 
existing licenses as permitted by 47 CFR 73.1675(c) or 73.1690(c).
    The information collection requirements contained in section 
73.3700(b)(3) require the licensee of each channel sharee station and 
channel sharer station to file an application for a license for the 
shared channel using FCC Form 2100 Schedule B (for a full power 
station) or F (for a Class A station) within six months of the date 
that the channel sharee station licensee receives its incentive payment 
pursuant to section 6403(a)(1) of the Spectrum Act.
    The information collection requirements contained in section 
73.3700(h)(2) state that, upon termination of the license of a party to 
a CSA, the spectrum usage rights covered by that license may revert to 
the remaining parties to the CSA. Such reversion shall be governed by 
the terms of the CSA in accordance with paragraph (h)(4)(E) of this 
section. If upon termination of the license of a party to a CSA only 
one party to the CSA remains, the remaining licensee may file an 
application to change its license to non-shared status using FCC Form 
2100, Schedule B (for a full power licensee) or F (for a Class A 
licensee).
    Lastly, section 73.3800 allows full power television stations to 
channel share with other full power stations, Class A, LPTV and TV 
translator stations outside of the incentive auction context. Full 
power stations file FCC Form 2100, Schedule B in order to complete the 
licensing of their shared channel.
