Abstract:
On January 19, 2021, the Commission released Rules Governing the Use of Distributed Transmission System Technologies, Report and Order, FCC 21-21. The Commission adopted these rules to allow Class A television stations to seek authority to construct Distributed Transmission System (DTS) operations. Pursuant to new section 73.6023 of the rules, Class A stations may now propose DTS operations by filing an application for construction permit for minor modification – FCC Form 2100, Schedule E. This submission is also being made to OMB for approval of the modified FCC Form 2100, Schedule E.

Short Statement:
The Incentive Auction was concluded in April 2017 and the post-auction repacking transition process in July 2020. This resulted in a decrease in the numbers of estimated filings per year. There are program changes to the total annual burden cost, which are due to the changes to the rules to allow Class A stations to seek DTS operations adopted in FCC 21-21. Therefore, the program changes are as follows: -685 to the number of respondents, -685 to the annual number of responses, -5,651 to the annual burden hours and -$4,076,902 to the annual cost.
