As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, as

Paperwork Relief Act of 2002, Public Law 107-198, see 44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(4), the FCC seeks specific comment on how it might ``further
reduce the information collection burden for small business concerns

stat. 156 (2012) (Spectrum Act).
Needs and Uses: The following information collection requirements
are covered under this collection: Section 73.3700(e)(2) requires all
broadcast television station licensees and MVPDs that are eligible to
receive payment of relocation costs to file an estimated cost form
providing an estimate of their reasonably incurred relocation costs no
later than three months following the release of the Channel
Reassignment Public Notice. If a broadcast television station licensee
or MVPD seeks reimbursement for new equipment, it must provide a
justification as to why it is reasonable under the circumstances to
purchase new equipment rather than modify its corresponding current
equipment in order to change channels or to continue to carry the
signal of a broadcast television station that changes channels.
Entities that submit their own cost estimates, as opposed to the
predetermined cost estimates provided in the estimated cost form, must
submit supporting evidence and certify that the estimate is made in
good faith. Entities must also update the form if circumstances change
significantly.
Section 73.3700(e)(3) requires all broadcast television station
licensees and MVPDs that received an initial allocation from the TV
Broadcaster Relocation Fund, upon completing construction or other
reimbursable changes, or by a specific deadline prior to the end of the
Reimbursement Period to be established by the Media Bureau, whichever
is earlier, to provide the Commission with information and
documentation, including invoices and receipts, regarding their actual
expenses incurred as of a date to be determined by the Media Bureau. If
a broadcast television station licensee or MVPD has not yet completed
construction or other reimbursable changes by the Final Allocation
Deadline, it must provide the Commission with information and
documentation regarding any remaining eligible expenses that it expects
to reasonably incur.
Section 73.3700(e)(4) requires broadcast television station
licensees and MVPDs that have received money from the TV Broadcaster
Relocation Fund, after completing all construction or reimbursable
changes, to submit final expense documentation containing a list of
estimated expenses and actual expenses as of a date to be determined by
the Media Bureau. Entities that have finished construction and have
submitted all actual expense documentation by the Final Allocation
Deadline will not be required to file at the final accounting stage.
Section 73.3700(e)(6) requires broadcast television station
licensees and MVPDs that receive payment from the TV Broadcaster
Relocation Fund to retain all relevant documents pertaining to
construction or other reimbursable changes for a period ending not less
than 10 years after the date on which it receives final payment from
the TV Broadcaster Relocation Fund and to make available all relevant
documentation upon request from the Commission or its contractor.
