          MASS MEDIA BUREAU, VIDEO SERVICES DIVISION,
              ANNOUNCES NEW FCC FORMS 305 AND 306


The new FCC Form 305, Application for Assignment of a Multipoint Distribution Service
Authorization, and FCC Form 306, Application for Transfer of Control of a Multipoint Distribution
Service Authorization, are available for use.  Both FCC Forms (September 2000 Edition) have been
approved for use by the Office of Management and Budget.  

The new FCC Forms 305 and 306 are effective immediately and will replace the FCC Form 702,
Application for Consent to Assignment of Radio Station Construction Authorization or License 
(for Stations in Services other than Broadcast), and FCC Form 704, Application for Consent to
Transfer of Control (under 47 C.F.R. 21, 23 or 25).  Since some applicants may be far along in
completing FCC Form 702 or FCC Form 704, we will continue to accept applications filed on the
FCC Form 702 or FCC Form 704 through September 29, 2000.  Thereafter, in the Multipoint
Distribution Service, applicants requesting consent to an assignment of license must submit FCC
Form 305 and applicants requesting consent to a transfer of control must submit FCC Form 306.  

The new FCC Forms 305 and 306 are available through the Internet.  To retrieve the new forms by
using the Internet, access the FCC's home page, http://www.fcc.gov, and click on the Forms link. 
Printed copies of the new FCC Forms 305 and 306 (September 2000 Edition) will be available later
this month at the Commission, Room TW-B200, Forms Distribution, or by calling (202) 418-
FORM or 1 (800) 418-FORM.

The FCC Forms 305 and 306 are also available using the Mass Media Bureau Broadband Licensing
System (BLS).  This electronic filing system provides the MDS licensee with the ability to fill out
FCC Forms 305 and 306 on-line via the Internet from the Mass Media Bureau's Web Site,
http://www.fcc.gov/mmb, and to file them electronically with the Commission.  Internet access to
the BLS requires a user to have, at a minimum, a browser such as Netscape version 3.04 or Internet
Explorer version 3.51.  

For further information, please contact Stephen Svab or Kim Varner at (202) 418-1600.
