Abstract: The Commission is revising this information collection to eliminate the information collection requirements necessitated by the DTV transition. After the June 12, 2009 nationwide transition deadline, there will be no further need for these DTV transition-related collections. In addition, the Commission is revising this collection to update the specific Informal Application filing forms that may be filed electronically through the Commission’s Consolidated Database System (“CDBS”).
