On May 26, 1999, the Commission
released an Order on Reconsideration

adopting a standardized evidence

concern the definitions applicable to the
must carry rules and the specific
information submission requirements
for the market modification process.

Needs and Uses: FCC Form 302–TV is
used by licensees and permittees of TV
broadcast stations to obtain a new or
modified station license and/or to notify
the Commission of certain changes in
the licensed facilities of these stations.
FCC staff use the data to confirm that
the station has been built to terms
specified in the outstanding
construction permit.
FCC Form 340 is used to apply for
authority to construct a new
noncommercial educational FM and TV
stations or to make changes in the
existing facilities of such a station. The
FCC Form 340 is to be used for channels
that are reserved exclusively for
noncommercial educational use and on
non-reserved channels if the applicant
proposes to build and operate a
Noncommercial Educational Broadcast
Station.
Existing authorized noncommercial
educational analog stations seeking to
receive authorization for
commencement of Digital TV (DTV)
operation must file FCC Form 340 for a
construction permit. This application
may be filed anytime after receiving the
initial DTV channel allotment, but must
be filed before the mid-point in a
particular applicant’s required
construction period. The Commission
will consider these applications as
minor changes in facilities. Applicants
do not have to supply full legal or
financial qualification information. In
addition, applicants for a newly allotted
DTV channel reserved for
noncommercial educational use(s) must
also file the FCC Form 340.
FCC Form 349 is used to apply for
authority to construct a new FM
translator or FM booster broadcast
station, or to make changes in the
existing facilities of such stations. This
form also includes the third party
disclosure requirement of 47 CFR

public notice in a newspaper of general
circulation of all application filings for
new or major change in facilities. This
notice must be completed within 30

petition for declaratory ruling that USA
Datanet (Datanet) and any similarly
situated carriers must pay tariffed

originating interstate access charges for
Feature Group A calls from Frontier’s
end users. Frontier filed its petition after
the United States District Court for the
Western District of New York stayed
Frontier’s case seeking payment of
access charges from Datanet for
originating Feature Group A access
services. The court found it appropriate
to stay the case pending the FCC’s
resolution of the issues raised by
Frontier. In its petition, Frontier seeks a
declaratory ruling that it is owed
originating access charges for IP-
transported Feature Group A calls for
the following interstate access rate
elements: (1) End office common trunk
port; (2) end office local switching; (3)
local transport tandem transmission—
fixed; and (4) local transport tandem
transmission facility. Frontier asks for
consolidation of its petition with
existing WC Docket No. 05–276, which
is examining petitions for declaratory
rulings filed by SBC and VarTec on
similar IP access charge issues. We will
include Frontier’s petition in WC
Docket No. 05–276 due to the similarity
of the issues raised in the petition and
in that docket.
