Commission (FCC or Commission) invites the general public and other

broadcasters and MVPDs (``eligible entities'') will be reimbursed for 
their reasonable costs incurred as a result of relocation from the TV 
Broadcaster Relocation Fund. Eligible entities will use the TV 
Broadcaster Relocation Fund Reimbursement Form (FCC Form 2100, Schedule 
399) to submit an estimate of their eligible relocation costs; to 
submit actual cost documentation (such as receipts and invoices) 
throughout the construction period, as they incur expenses; and to
