Abstract: The Commission released a Report and Order, Amendment of Parts 0, 1, 5, 73, and 74 of the Commission’s Rules Regarding Posting of Station Licenses and Related Information, MB Docket No. 18-121, FCC 18-174, on December 11, 2018. In this Report and Order, the Commission eliminated rule sections 47 CFR Sections 73.1230, 74.564, 74.664, 74.765 and 74.1265 to remove the posting information requirements from the Commission’s rules. This collection is being revised to remove these rule sections from this information collection. Also, the posting information requirements are being removed from Sections 74.432 and 74.832 with this revision to the Office of Management and Budget. The remaining information collection requirements for this collection are as follows: 47 CFR 74.165 requires that the instrument of authorization for an experimental broadcast station be available at the transmitter site. 47 CFR 74.432(j) requires that the license of a remote pickup broadcast/low power auxiliary station shall be retained in the licensee's files and the address shown on the authorization. 47 CFR 74.832(j) (low power auxiliary stations) requires that the license shall be retained in the licensee’s files at the address shown on the authorization.
