Changes in an International,
Experimental Television, Experimental
Facsimile, or a Developmental
Broadcast Station—The FCC Form 309
is filed on occasion when the applicant
is requesting authority to construct or
make modifications to the international
broadcast station.
FCC Form 310—Application for an
International, Experimental Television,
Experimental Facsimile, or a
Developmental Broadcast Station
License—The FCC Form 310 is filed on
occasion when the applicant is
submitting an application for a new
international broadcast station.
FCC Form 311—Application for
Renewal of an International or
Experimental Broadcast Station
License—The FCC Form 311 is filed by
applicants who are requesting renewal
of their international broadcast station
licenses.
47 CFR 73.702(a) states that six
months prior to the start of each season,
licensees and permittees shall by
informal written request, submitted to
the Commission in triplicate, indicate
for the season the frequency or
frequencies desired for transmission to
each zone or area of reception specified
in the license or permit, the specific
hours during which it desires to
transmit to such zones or areas on each
frequency, and the power, antenna gain,
and antenna bearing it desires to use.
Requests will be honored to the extent
that interference and propagation
conditions permit and that they are
otherwise in accordance with the
provisions of section 47 CFR 73.702(a).
47 CFR 73.702(b) states that two
months before the start of each season,
the licensee or permittee must inform
the Commission in writing as to
whether it plans to operate in
accordance with the Commission’s
authorization or operate in another
manner.
47 CFR 73.702(c) permits entities to
file requests for changes to their original
request for assignment and use of
frequencies if they are able to show
good cause. Because international
broadcasters are assigned frequencies on
a seasonal basis, as opposed to the full
term of their eight-year license
authorization, requests for changes need
to be filed by entities on occasion.
47 CFR 73.702 (note) states that
permittees who during the process of
construction wish to engage in
equipment tests shall by informal
written request, submitted to the
Commission in triplicate not less than
30 days before they desire to begin such
testing, indicate the frequencies they
desire to use for testing and the hours
they desire to use those frequencies.

licensee or permittee must file a report
with the Commission stating whether
the licensee or permittee has operated
the number of frequency hours
authorized by the seasonal schedule to
each of the zones or areas of reception
specified in the schedule.
47 CFR 73.782 requires that licensees
retain logs of international broadcast
stations for two years. If it involves
communications incident to a disaster,
logs should be retained as long as
required by the Commission.
47 CFR 73.759(d) states that the
licensee or permittee must keep records
of the time and results of each auxiliary
transmitter test performed at least
weekly.
47 CFR 73.762(b) requires that
licensees notify the Commission in
writing of any limitation or
discontinuance of operation of not more
than 10 days.
47 CFR 73.762(c) states that the
licensee or permittee must request and
receive specific authority from the
Commission to discontinue operations
for more than 10 days under extenuating
circumstances.
47 CFR 1.1301–1.1319 cover
certifications of compliance with the
National Environmental Policy Act and
how the public will be protected from
radio frequency radiation hazards.
