Communications Commission (FCC or Commission) invites the general

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

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.

modified FCC Form 2100, Schedule D.

    Needs and Uses: On December 19, 2025, the Commission released a 
Report and Order, FCC 25-84, concerning the advancement of the Class A, 
LPTV and TV translator services (LPTV Service). Two of the rules 
adopted included the requirement that Class A stations file an 
application for modification of license (FCC Form 2100, Schedule F)--
73.6002(b)(2) when seeking to change their community of license. In 
addition, Class A stations requesting to downgrade to low power 
television station status file a modification of license (FCC Form 
2100, Schedule F) rather than a letter--73.6001(d). Finally, an 
administrative change is being made to rule 73.6002(a)(2) that provides 
that Class A station licenses are filed on FCC Form 2100, Schedule F 
and not FCC Form 302-CA. The form changes were already approved and 
this just change the language of the rule to refer to the correct form. 
This submission is being made to OMB for approval of the modified FCC 
Form 2100, Schedule F.
