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 minimize the burden of the collection of information on the respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology; and ways to further reduce the information collection burden on small business concerns with fewer than 25 employees. The FCC may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid 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 Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number.

approval to share a single television channel. Stations interested in 
terminating operations and sharing another station's channel must 
submit FCC Form 2100 Schedule C in order to have the channel sharing 
arrangement approved. If the sharing station is proposing to make 
changes to its facility to accommodate the channel sharing, it must 
also file FCC Form 2100 Schedule C.

digital-to-digital replacement translator to replace service areas lost 
as a result of the incentive auction and repacking processes. Stations 
submit FCC Form 2100 Schedule C to obtain a construction permit for the 
new replacement translator.
