FCC Finalizes Reimbursement Form For Incentive Auction, Adopts Catalog of Expenses

The Federal Communications Commission announces the final version of the Reimbursement Form, FCC Form 2100, Schedule 399, will be submitted to the Office of Management and Budget for approval under the Paperwork Reduction Act. The FCC also adopts a catalog of expenses. The catalog of expenses is not intended to be a definitive list of all reimbursable expenses. Rather, it is a means of facilitating the reimbursement process of claiming reimbursement by setting forth categories of expenses that are most likely to be commonly incurred by relocated broadcasters and multichannel video programming distributors (MVPDs). The form itself provides broadcasters and MVPDs with the ability to seek reimbursement for expenses other than those listed in the catalog. Finally, the FCC provides additional information clarifying how the Form will be used during the reimbursement period.
