On June 29, 2009, the Commission adopted a Report and Order, Amendment of Service and Eligibility Rules for FM Broadcast Translator Stations, MB Docket No. 07-172, FCC 09-59. In the Report and Order, the Commission adopted changes to the FM translator rules that would allow AM stations to use authorized FM translator stations to rebroadcast the AM signal locally, retransmitting their AM programming as a “fill-in” service. The adopted cross service translating rules limit FM translators to providing “fill-in” service only, specifically within the AM primary station’s authorized service area. In addition, the Commission limited the cross-service rule changes to “currently authorized FM translators,” that is, those translators with licenses or permit in effect as of May 1, 2009. Consistent with actions taken by the Commission in the Report and Order, the following changes are made to Form 303-S: Section V of Form 303-S, to be completed by FM and TV Translator and Low Power TV licensees only, includes a new certification concerning compliance with the AM station “fill-in” service requirements. Specifically, in the AM service, applicants certify that the coverage contour of the FM translator station is contained within the lesser of: (a) the 2 mV/m daytime contour of the AM primary station being rebroadcast, or (b) a 25-mile radius centered at the AM station’s transmitter site. The instructions for Section V have been revised to assist applicants with completing the new question. FCC Form 303-S will be used in applying for renewal of license of such FM translator stations. The Commission is revising the Form 303-S to reflect the changes in the rules applicable to FM translator stations used by AM stations to rebroadcast their AM signals.
