Abstract: Form 302-TV is used by licensees/ permittees of TV stations to obtain a new/modified license and/or notify the FCC of changes. Form 302-DTV is used by licensees/ permittees of DTV stations to obtain a new/modified station license, and/or to notify the FCC of certain changes in the licensed facilities of those stations. Form 340 is used to apply for authority to construct a new NCE FM, TV, and DTV station, or to make changes in the existing facilities. Form 349 is used to apply for authority to construct a new FM translator/booster station, or make changes in existing facilities. On April 7, 2009, the Commission adopted a Notice of Proposed Rule Making in the Matter of Policies to Promote Rural Radio Service and to Streamline Allotment, and Assignment Policies, MB Docket No. 09-52, FCC 09-30. In this Notice of Proposed Rule Making, the Commission proposes a number of changes to its policies and procedures in comparing mutually exclusive applications pursuant to Section 307(b). Among those changes is a new priority directed toward federally recognized Native American and Alaska Native tribes and tribal consortia.
