The Commission adopted on April 17,
2023, the Report and Order (R&O), In the Matter of Amendment of
Parts 73 and 74 of the Commission’s Rules to Establish Rules for
Digital Low Power Television and Television Translator Stations,
Update of Parts 74 of the Commission’s Rules Related to Low Power
Television and Television Translator Stations, MB Docket Nos.
03-185 and 22-261. FCC 23-25. The Report and Order adopted a number
of revisions to the Commission’s rules to specify electronic rather
than paper submission in the following instances: 47 CFR Section
74.734(a)(4) requires that a notification must be made with the
Commission via a Change of Control Point Notice in the Commission’s
Licensing and Management System (LMS) providing the name, address,
and telephone number of person(s) who may be called to secure
suspension of operation of a transmitter promptly should the FCC
deem such action necessary. 47 CFR Section 74.735(c)(4) requires
that all azimuth plane patterns be plotted in a PDF attachment to
the application in LMS in a size sufficient to be easily viewed. 47
CFR Section 74.735(c)(6) requires that all azimuth plane patterns
be plotted in a PDF attachment to the application in LMS in a size
sufficient to be easily viewed. 47 CFR Section 74.735(c)(7)
requires that if a matrix pattern is submitted in the LMS
application form, similar tabulations must be provided as necessary
in the form of a spreadsheet attachment to the application in LMS
to accurately represent the pattern. 47 CFR Section 74.763(b)
provides that in the event that causes beyond the control of the
low power or translator station licensee make it impossible to
continue operating, the licensee may discontinue operation for a
period of not more than 30 days without further authority from the
FCC. 47 CFR Section 74.763(b) requires that no later than the tenth
day of discontinued operation, notification must be sent
electronically via a Suspension of Operations Notice filing in the
Commission’s LMS database. In the event normal operation is
restored before the end of the 30 day period, the licensee must
notify the FCC of the date that normal operations resumed by filing
a Resumption of Operations Notice filing in LMS. Finally, Section
74.763(b) requires that if causes beyond the control of the
licensee make it impossible to comply within the allowed period, a
licensee may make a request for Special Temporary Authority via LMS
no later than the 30th day for such additional time as may be
necessary.
