Media Bureau Announces Completion of First Phase of Licensing and Management System
for Full Power TV Stations
As part of an ongoing effort to update the Commission’s application filing systems, the Media Bureau is 
pleased to announce the availability of the first phase of a new e-filing system, the Licensing and Management 
System (LMS). Although LMS will ultimately replace the Consolidated Data Base System (CDBS) as the e-filing 
system for all radio and TV broadcasters, this initial phase applies only to full-power TV stations that seek to file 
applications for construction permits (formerly Form 301) and applications for a license to cover a construction 
permit (formerly Form 302-DT).  
These applications will now be part of a new single form (FCC Form 2100) that will eventually replace 
all of the existing radio and TV services forms.  The main portion of Form 2100, which all the broadcaster 
applicants must fill out, requests general information common to all broadcast applications.  Information specific 
to particular applications will be completed on associated schedules for each type of authorization being 
requested, e.g., for a construction permit for a commercial broadcast station, for renewal of license, or for consent 
to assignment of broadcast station construction permit or license.  The first two schedules of FCC Form 2100 that 
will be available for TV broadcasters are Schedule A, to obtain a construction permit for a full power TV station 
(formerly known as FCC Form 301), and Schedule B, to obtain a license to cover construction permits (formerly 
known as FCC Form 302-DT ). Form 2100 is available at the Commission web site under forms at this link:
http://www.fcc.gov/forms.  
As of October 2, 2014, existing full power TV station permittees and licensees will be required to use the
LMS system to file applications for construction permits and licenses and any amendments to pending 
construction permit and license applications using Form 2100 Schedule A or Schedule B. These stations will no 
longer be able to use the CDBS e-filing system to file these applications. A link to the LMS system can be found 
at https://enterpriseefiling.fcc.gov/dataentry/login.html .
We will be adding more filing schedules on an ongoing basis to LMS. These new releases will be 
announced by subsequent public notices.
