Application for Consent to
Assignment of Broadcast Station Construction Permit or License or
Transfer of Control of Corporation Holding Broadcast Station
Construction Permit or Permit or License, FCC
On January 28, 2010, the Commission
adopted a First Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking (the Order) in MB Docket No. 09-52, FCC 10-24. The
Order adopts rule changes designed to streamline and clarify
certain procedures associated with the award of broadcast radio
construction permits by competitive bidding. To prevent unjust
enrichment by parties that acquire broadcast construction permits
through the use of a bidding credit in an auction, Section
73.5007(c) of the Rules requires reimbursement to the Commission of
all or part of the bidding credit upon a subsequent assignment or
transfer of control, if the proposed assignee or transferee is not
eligible for the same percentage of bidding credit. The rule is
routinely applied to long form assignment or transfer
applications filed on FCC Forms 314 and 315. In the Order, the
Commission also sought to clarify, in Section 73.5007(c) of the
Rules, that the unjust enrichment payments to the government must
be made even when an assignment or transfer is pro forma in nature
and therefore filed on FCC Form 316.
January 28, 2010, the
Commission adopted a First Report and Order and Further Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking in MB Docket No. 09-52, FCC 10-24, in this
proceeding. This Order will revise FCC Form 316 to add the
broadcast auction-based questions presently included on FCC Forms
314 and 315, specifically asking the applicants to certify that the
proposed assignment or transfer complies with the unjust enrichment
provisions of the Commissions competitive bidding rules. The
annual burden hours have increased by +376 (program change) and the
annual costs have increased by +$286,000 ($178,750 of this amount
is an adjustment to this collection based on an increase in
consulting fees and $107,250 of the amount is a program change
based on the information collection requirements adopted in FCC
10-24).
