The Commission is seeking a
non-substantive change request for this information collection.
This submission seeks to update FCC Form 1876. The Commission
inadvertently omitted a field labeled “account type” (a drop down
menu with a choice of “savings or checking”) in CORES for vendors
who request through the regular FCC Accounts Payable process to
become a vendor in our accounting system, Genesis which is not a
new requirement to vendors. The information for the Auction
Participant vendors will be collected in CORES vs. the other vendor
set-up mechanism “SAM” which is used for our regular accounts
payable vendors. FCC is conducting a reverse auction to determine
the amount of compensation that each broadcast television licensee
would accept in return for voluntarily relinquishing some or all of
its broadcast television spectrum usage rights in order to make
spectrum available for assignment through a system of competitive
bidding. This information collection is a standardized form for
successful bidders in the reverse auction to submit additional
information to facilitate incentive payments.
The Federal
Communications Commission (Commission) requests OMB to authorize
emergency processing of a submission of a collection of
information, in accordance with 5 CFR 1320.13. The collection of
information is a new collection entitled “Payment Instructions from
the Eligible Entity Seeking Reimbursement from The TV Broadcaster
Relocation Fund”. This information collection is necessary to carry
out the Incentive Auction program, which is a high priority and
time-sensitive program. Therefore, the Commission requests that OMB
approve this information collection by January 17, 2017.
This is a new information
collection which resulted in a program change/increase of 1,000
respondents, 2,000 responses and 6,000 burden hours. These
estimates will be added to OMB’s Active Inventory.
