Jkt 250001
that the license of a remote pickup
broadcast/low power auxiliary station
shall be retained in the licensee’s files,
posted at the transmitter, or posted at
the control point of the station. These
sections also require the licensee to
forward the station license to the FCC in
the case of permanent discontinuance of
the station.
47 CFR 74.564 (aural broadcast

Needs and Uses: The information
collection requirement contained in 47
CFR 73.213 requires licensees of
grandfathered short-spaced FM stations
seeking to modify or relocate their
stations to provide a showing
demonstrating that there is no increase
in either the total predicted interference
area or the associated population
(caused or received) with respect to all
grandfathered stations or increase the
interference caused to any individual
stations. Applicants must demonstrate
that any new area predicted to lose
service as a result of interference has
adequate service remaining. In addition,
licensees are required to serve a copy of
any application for co-channel or firstadjacent channel stations proposing
predicted interference caused in any
area where interference is not currently
predicted to be caused upon the
licensee(s) of the affected short-spaced
station(s). Commission staff uses the
data to determine if the public interest
will be served and that existing levels of
interference will not be increased to
other licensed stations. Providing copies
of application(s) to affected licensee(s)
will enable potentially affected parties
to examine the proposals and provide
them an opportunity to file informal
objections against such applications.

Needs and Uses: The information collection requirement contained in
47 CFR 73.213 requires licensees of grandfathered short-spaced FM
stations seeking to modify or relocate their stations to provide a
showing demonstrating that there is no increase in either the total
predicted interference area or the associated population (caused or
received) with respect to all grandfathered stations or increase the
interference caused to any individual stations. Applicants must
demonstrate that any new area predicted to lose service as a result of
interference has adequate service remaining. In addition, licensees are
required to serve a copy of any application for co-channel or first-
adjacent channel stations proposing predicted interference caused in
any area where interference is not currently predicted to be caused
upon the licensee(s) of the affected short-spaced station(s).
Commission staff uses the data to determine if the public interest will
be served and that existing levels of interference will not be
increased to other licensed stations. Providing copies of
application(s) to affected licensee(s) will enable potentially affected
parties to examine the proposals and provide them an opportunity to
file informal objections against such applications.
