make changes to the existing facilities of
such a station. They 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.
Form 2100, Schedule 301–FM also
accommodates commercial FM

Qualifications Window (TQ Window) or
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 2100, Schedule 301–FM 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

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.

Communications Act of 1934, as
amended.
Total Annual Burden: 6,603 hours.
Total Annual Cost: $30,039,119.
Needs and Uses: Schedule 340 is used
by licensees and permittees to apply for
authority to construct a new
noncommercial educational (NCE) FM
and DTV broadcast station (including a
DTS facility), or to make changes in the
existing facilities of such a station.
Schedule 340 is only used if the station
will operate on a channel that is
reserved exclusively for NCE use, or in
the situation where applications for
NCE stations on non-reserved channels
are mutually exclusive only with one
another. Also, Schedule 340 is used by
Native American Tribes and Alaska
Native Villages (Tribes), tribal consortia,
or entities owned or controlled by
Tribes when qualifying for the ‘‘Tribal
Priority’’ under 47 CFR 73.7000,
73.7002. Additionally, Schedule 340
contains a third party disclosure
requirement, pursuant to section
73.3580. This rule requires local public
notice of the filing of all applications to
construct a new full-service NCE FM or
DTV broadcast station. Notice is given
by an NCE applicant by posting notice
of the application filing on its station’s
website, its licensee’s website, its parent
entity’s website, or on a publicly
accessible, locally targeted website, for
30 consecutive days beginning within
five business days of acceptance of the
application for filing. Furthermore, the
