Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012, Public Law 112-96, 6402 (codified

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.
