Download as PDF ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 116 / Friday, June 16, 2023 / Notices Bureau licensees were renamed as FCC Form 314–IBFS, FCC Form 315–IBFS and FCC Form 316–IBFS. These forms will only be used by the International Broadcast stations in IBFS. Under 47 CFR 73.3540, the filings of the FCC Forms 314–IBFS, 315–IBFS, and 316–IBFS are required when applying for consent for assignment of a broadcast station construction permit or license. 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. The FCC Forms 314, 315, and 316 were previously shared between the Media Bureau and the International Bureau. The forms were used by the International Bureau for International Broadcast stations and by the Media Bureau for other broadcast licenses. These FCC Forms were previously approved by Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for use by Media Bureau licensees under OMB 3060–0031 and OMB 3060–0009. Accordingly, the early forms included references to all broadcast services. The new version of the forms removes references to all services except for International Broadcast stations, since they are only used for these stations. The changes also remove references to rules that do not apply to International Broadcast stations and updates the instructions to comport with the new sections. Specifically, the Commission modified its rules to mandate the electronic filing of, among other things, applications for International Broadcast Stations, including applications for voluntary assignments and transfers of control. These mandatory electronic filing requirements will reduce costs and administrative burdens, result in greater efficiencies, facilitate faster and more efficient communications, and improve transparency to the public. The changes to section 73.3540 (c) and (d) state that ‘‘[f]or International Broadcast Stations, the application shall be filed electronically in the International Bureau Filing System (IBFS).’’ There are currently fewer than 20 International Broadcast stations subject to obligations in section 73.3540, and the International Bureau receives an average of one application involving voluntary transactions per year pursuant to section 73.3540. § 73.3540 Application for Voluntary Assignment or Transfer of Control (a) Prior consent of the FCC must be obtained for a voluntary assignment or transfer of control. VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:43 Jun 15, 2023 Jkt 259001 (b) Application should be filed with the FCC at least 45 days prior to the contemplated effective date of assignment or transfer of control. (c) Application for consent to the assignment of construction permit or license must be filed on FCC Form 314 ‘‘Assignment of license’’ or FCC Form 316 ‘‘Short form’’ (See paragraph (f) of this section). For International Broadcast Stations, the application shall be filed electronically in the International Bureau Filing System (IBFS). (d) Application for consent to the transfer of control of a corporation holding a construction permit or license must be filed on FCC Form 315 ‘‘Transfer of Control’’ or FCC Form 316 ‘‘Short form’’ (see paragraph (f) of this section). For International Broadcast Stations, the application shall be filed electronically in the IBFS. (e) Application for consent to the assignment of construction permit or license or to the transfer of control of a corporate licensee or permittee for an FM or TV translator station, a low power TV station and any associated auxiliary station, such as translator microwave relay stations and UHF translator booster stations, only must be filed on FCC Form 345 ‘‘Application for Transfer of Control of Corporate Licensee or Permittee, or Assignment of License or Permit for an FM or TV translator Station, or a Low Power TV Station.’’ (f) The following assignment or transfer applications may be filed on FCC ‘‘Short form’’ 316: (1) Assignment from an individual or individuals (including partnerships) to a corporation owned and controlled by such individuals or partnerships without any substantial change in their relative interests; (2) Assignment from a corporation to its individual stockholders without effecting any substantial change in the disposition of their interests; (3) Assignment or transfer by which certain stockholders retire and the interest transferred is not a controlling one; (4) Corporate reorganization which involves no substantial change in the beneficial ownership of the corporation; (5) Assignment or transfer from a corporation to a wholly owned subsidiary thereof or vice versa, or where there is an assignment from a corporation to a corporation owned or controlled by the assignor stockholders without substantial change in their interests; or (6) Assignment of less than a controlling interest in a partnership.

Form No.: FCC Form 308. Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved information collection. Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities. Number of Respondents and Responses: 26 respondents; 70 responses. Estimated Time per Response: 0.75 hours–1.5 hours. Obligation To Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits.

Needs and Uses: The Federal Communications Commission (‘‘Commission’’) is requesting that the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approve a revision of OMB Control No. 3060–1133 titled, ‘‘Application for Permit to Deliver Programs to Foreign Broadcast Stations FCC Form 308)—47 CFR 73.3545 and 73.3580.’’ The Commission has updated the International Bureau Filing System (IBFS) to allow for filing of electronic forms directly into the system through an integrated web-based program with fillable fields. The integrated web-based program requires the use of an FCC Registration Number (FRN) and includes support for Form 308. Applicants will be required to submit Form 308 through the integrated webbased program. Therefore, this information collection is being revised to reflect the new form format and the addition of a requirement to provide an FRN on the Form.
