FCC Form 396 is required to be filed at the time of renewal of license by all AM, FM, TV, Low Power TV and International stations.                 

The Commission is revising this collection to remove the information collection requirements associated with OMB control number 3060-0120 (FCC Form 396-A) from the collection. Collection 3060-0120 was previously consolidated into information collection 3060-0113. The collections (3060-0113 and 3060-0120) are really different in nature and should not be consolidated. Therefore, we are requesting that they remain as two separate collections.
