Abstract: The Commission adopted on September 18, 2023, the Report and Order (R&O), Amendment of Part 73 of the Commission’s Rules to Update Television and Class A Television Broadcast Station Rules, and Rules Applicable to All Broadcast Stations, MB Docket No. 22-227, FCC 23-72. The R&O adopted a number of revisions to the Commission’s rules to reorganize and clarify the Commission’s technical licensing, operating, and interference rules for full power and Class A television, including revisions to 47 CFR Section 73.1675 and 73.1690. The revisions to this information collection are only with respect to 47 C.F.R. 73.1675 and 47 C.F.R. 73.1690, and are made for informational purposes only, and do not create new or modify existing burdens. 47 C.F.R. 73.1675(c)(1) continues to state that where an FM, TV, or Class A TV licensee or permittee proposes to mount an auxiliary facility on an AM tower, it must also demonstrate compliance with § 1.30003 in the license application. The R&O revises paragraph (b) to note that the application for a construction permit is now made electronically via the Commission’s Licensing and Management System using Form 2100, but this change does not modify any existing paperwork burdens or establish any new ones. 47 C.F.R. 73.1690(c) continues to require FM, TV, or Class A TV station applicants to submit an exhibit demonstrating compliance with § 1.30003 or § 1.30002, as applicable, with a modification of license application, except for applications solely filed pursuant to paragraphs (c)(6) or (c)(9) of this section, where the installation is located on or near an AM tower, as defined in § 1.30002. The R&O revises paragraph (b) to indicate that certain changes can be made on FCC Form 2100, but this change does not modify any existing paperwork burdens or establish new ones, and similarly, paragraph (c)(3) is revised to note that the modification of license application is now made on Form 2100, but this change does not modify any existing paperwork burdens or establish any new ones.
