Communications Commission

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, 
and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), the Federal 
Communications Commission (FCC or Commission) invites the general 
public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment 
on the following information collections. Comments are requested 
concerning: Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary 
for the proper performance of the functions of the Commission, 
including whether the information shall have practical utility; the 
accuracy of the Commission's burden estimate; ways to enhance the 
quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; ways to

    The FCC may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information

(OMB) control number. No person shall be subject to any penalty for 
failing to comply with a collection of information subject to the PRA 
that does not display a valid OMB control number.

If you anticipate that you will be submitting comments, but find it 
difficult to do so within the period of time allowed by this notice,

    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).

Federal Communications Commission.
