Alternative Broadcast Inspection Program (ABIP) Compliance Notification

The ABIP is a series of agreements between the FCC's Enforcement Bureau and a private entity, usually a state broadcast association, whereby the private entity agrees to facilitate inspections of participating broadcast stations to determine compliance with FCC Rules. Broadcast stations participate in ABIP on a voluntary basis. The private entities notify their local FCC office in writing of those stations that pass the ABIP inspection, and the FCC uses this information to determine which broadcast stations have been certified in compliance with FCC Rules and will not be subject to certain random FCC inspections.
