Needs and Uses: By Public Notice released January 10, 2017, The
Incentive Auction Task Force and Media Bureau Release Transition
Progress Report Form and Filing Requirements for Stations Eligible for
Reimbursement from the TV Broadcast Relocation Fund and Seek Comment on
the Filing of the Report by Non-Reimbursable Stations, MB Docket No.
16-306, Public Notice, 32 FCC Rcd 256 (IATF/Med. Bur. 2017). The
Incentive Auction Task Force and Media Bureau described the information
that must be provided in the adopted FCC Form 2100, Schedule 387
(Transition Progress Report Form) to be filed by Reimbursable Stations
and when and how the Transition Progress Reports must be filed. We also
proposed to require broadcast television stations that are not eligible
to receive reimbursement of associated expenses from the Reimbursement
Fund (Non-Reimbursable Stations), but must transition to new channels
as part of the Commission's channel reassignment plan, to file progress
reports in the same manner and on the same schedule as Reimbursable
Stations, and sought comment on that proposal. By Public Notice
released May 18, 2017. The Incentive Auction Task Force and Media
Bureau Adopt Filing Requirements for the Transition Progress Report
Form by Stations That Are Not Eligible for Reimbursement from the TV
Broadcast Relocation Fund, MB Docket No. 16-306, Public Notice, DA 17-
484 (rel. May 18, 2017) (referred to collectively with Public Notice
cited above as Transition Progress Report Public Notices). We concluded
that Non-Reimbursable Stations will be required to file Transition
Progress Reports following the filing procedures adopted for
Reimbursable Stations.
The Commission is seeking a three-year extension for this
information collection from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
approval for FCC Form 2100, Schedule 387 (Transition Progress Report).
