Abstract: On December 19, 2025, the Commission released a Report and Order, FCC 25-84, concerning the advancement of the Class A, LPTV and TV translator services (LPTV Service). The Commission eliminated the requirement in section 73.3700(g)(4) that wireless licensees assigned to frequencies in the 600 MHz band under 47 C.F.R. part 27 notify low power TV and TV translator stations of their intent to commence wireless operations and the likelihood of receiving harmful interference from the low power TV or TV translator station to such operations within the wireless licensee’s licensed geographic service area. This change will result in a decrease in the burden hours/responses associated with this rule.
