to construct a new FM translator or FM booster broadcast station,
or to make changes in existing facilities. FCC staff use the data

FNPRM”), the Commission proposes to make the following rule (and
Form) changes to this information collection: modify Section

station as its primary station must be contained within the greater
of either the 2 mV/m daytime contour of the AM station, or a
25-mile radius centered at the AM station’s transmitter site, but
that in no event may the FM translator’s 1 mV/m coverage contour
extend beyond a 40-mile (64 km) radius centered at the AM station’s
transmitter site.
