Abstract:
On December 11, 2023, the Commission adopted a Report and Order, FCC 23-112, to implement the Low Power Protection Act (LPPA or Act), which was enacted on January 5, 2023. The LPPA provides certain low power television (LPTV) stations with a limited window of opportunity to apply for primary spectrum use status as Class A television stations. The Report and Order establishes the period during which eligible stations may file applications for Class A status, eligibility and interference requirements, and the process for submitting applications. The Report and Order provides that applications to convert to Class A status under the Low Power Protection Act must be filed using FCC Form 2100, Schedule F. The application form requires certifications by the applicant as prescribed by the LPPA. This submission is being made to OMB for approval of the modified FCC Form 2100, Schedule F. In addition, LPTV stations that file an application to convert to Class A status must provide local public notice of the filing of the application pursuant to 47 CFR 73.3580(c). Specifically, the station must both broadcast on-air announcements and give online notice. This submission also reflects the burden associated with that information collection and is also being made to request Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval of that collection.

Short Statement:
The LPPA was adopted in January 2023 and the Report and Order implementing the statute was adopted in December 2023. Once OMB approves the collections associated with the LPPA, the one-time, one-year window for stations to file an application to convert to Class A status pursuant to the LPPA will be opened. The program changes to this collection as a result of the LPPA are: + 50 to the number of respondents, +100 to the number of one-time responses, +200 one-time burden hours, and + $21,250.00 to the one-time “in house” costs. There are no adjustments to this collection.
