 PUBLIC  NOTICE  Federal  Communications  Commission  445  12th  St.,  S.  W.  Washington,  D.  C.  20554  News  Media  Information  202  /  418-  0500  Internet:  http://  www.  fcc.  gov  TTY:  1-  888-  835-  5322 
 DA  04-  3495  November  4,  2004 
 ELECTRONIC  MAILBOX  ESTABLISHED  FOR  FCC  FORM  381 
 The  Media  Bureau  hereby  announces  that  it  has  established  an  electronic  mailbox  for  use  by  TV  station  licensees  and  permittees  that  wish  to  submit  correspondence  in  conjunction  with  FCC 
 Form  381.  Form  381  must  be  filed  with  the  FCC  no  later  than  November  5,  2004.  FCC  Form  381  is  to  be  used  by  full  power  TV  broadcast  licensees  and  permittees  participating  in  the  digital 
 television  channel  election  process  to  provide  and  certify  the  technical  information  that  will  be  used  to  evaluate  elections  made  during  the  channel  election  process. 


 The  electronic  mailbox  address  is  form381@  fcc.  gov.  If  TV  station  licensees  wish  to  file  by  U.  S.  mail,  please  address  correspondence  to:  Federal  Communications  Commission,  Media  Bureau, 
 Attn:  Form  381  correspondence,  Washington,  DC  20554. 
 Any  correspondence  filed  in  conjunction  with  the  Form  381  will  not  affect  a  station’s  service  area  that  will  be  protected  during  the  channel  election  process.  That  service  area  will  be 
 determined  solely  by  reference  to  the  certification  in  the  Form  381  itself.  Thus,  when  the  Media  Bureau  issues  a  Public  Notice  after  November  5,  2004  announcing  a  revised  Table  of  Station 
 Assignment  and  Service  Information  based  on  the  Form  381  filings,  any  correspondence  filed  will  not  be  reflected  in  that  Table.  In  addition,  any  correspondence  submitted  will  not 
 necessarily  excuse  or  affect  the  legal  force  and  effect  of  the  certifications  made  in  Form  381.  Nevertheless,  in  the  exceptional  case  that  a  licensee  or  permittee  wishes  to  describe  special 
 circumstances  surrounding  their  Form  381  certifications,  this  provides  a  mechanism  to  do  so. 
 For  additional  information,  contact  Nai  Tam  of  the  Video  Services  Division,  Media  Bureau,  at  (202)  418-  1600  or  nai.  tam@  fcc.  gov  or  Kim  Matthews  of  the  Policy  Division,  Media  Bureau,  at 
 (202)  418-  2120.  TTY:  (202)  418-  7172.
