there is no physical change in location
and no other licensed parameters are

47 CFR 74.763(b) provides that in the
event that causes beyond the control of
the low power or translator station
licensee make it impossible to continue

Television and Television Translator Stations, MB Docket Nos. 03-185
and 22-261, FCC 23-25. The Report and Order adopted the following
revision to 47 CFR 74.784(b):
47 CFR 74.784(b) states that a licensee of a low power television
or TV translator station shall not rebroadcast the programs of any
other TV broadcast station without obtaining prior consent of the
station whose signals or programs are proposed to be retransmitted.
Section 74.784(b) requires licensees of low power television and TV
translator stations to notify the Commission when rebroadcasting
programs or signals of another station. This notification shall include
the call letters of each station rebroadcast. The licensee of the low
power television or TV translator station shall certify that written
consent has been obtained from the licensee of the station whose
programs are retransmitted. This notification shall be provided by
email to [email protected], the Media Bureau, Video Division's
email box.
The information collection requirements contained in 47 CFR 73.1207
and 74.1284 remain the same. They are as follows:
47 CFR 73.1207 requires that licensees of broadcast stations obtain
written permission from an originating station prior to retransmitting
any program or any part thereof. A copy of the written consent must be
kept in the station's files and made available to the FCC upon request.
Section 73.1207 also specifies procedures that broadcast stations must
follow when rebroadcasting time signals, weather bulletins, or other
material from non-broadcast services.
47 CFR 74.1284 requires that the licensee of a FM translator
station obtain prior consent to rebroadcast programs of any broadcast
station or other FM translator. The licensee of the FM translator
station must notify the Commission of the call letters of each station
rebroadcast and must certify that written consent has been received
from the licensee of that station. Also, AM stations are allowed to use
FM translator stations to rebroadcast the AM signal. FM translator
stations are low power facilities licensed for the limited purpose of
retransmitting the signals of either a full power radio station or
another translator station. See 47 CFR 74.1201.

47 CFR 74.751(a) requires licensees of low power TV or TV

equipment changes which may be made at licensee's discretion without
the use of a formal application.
47 CFR 74.751(b)(4) requires low power TV or TV translator stations
to file an application in the Commission's Licensing and Management
System (LMS) on FCC Form 2100, Schedule C, requesting authorization for
all antenna relocations.
47 CFR 74.751(c) provides that notwithstanding the requirement in
47 CFR 74.751(b)(4), a station may file in LMS a correction of
geographic coordinates where the change is 3 seconds or fewer in
latitude and/or 3 seconds or fewer in longitude, provided there is no
physical change in location and no other licensed parameters are
changed. An exhibit should be attached to the application(s) specifying
it is a coordinate correction. Stations seeking to correct coordinates
by less than 3 seconds of latitude and/or longitude may do so without
paying a filing fee.
47 CFR 74.751(d) requires that licensees of low power TV or TV
translator stations place in the station records a certification that
the installation of new or replacement transmitting equipment complies
in all respects with the technical requirements of this section and the
station authorization.

the Commission's Rules Related to Low Power Television and Television
Translator Stations, MB Docket Nos. 03-185 and 22-261, FCC 23-25. The
Report and Order adopted a number of revisions to the Commission's
rules to specify electronic rather than paper submission in the
following instances:
47 CFR 74.734(a)(4) requires that a notification must be made with
the Commission via a Change of Control Point Notice in the Commission's
Licensing and Management System (LMS) providing the name, address, and
telephone number of person(s) who may be called to secure suspension of
operation of a transmitter promptly should the FCC deem such action
necessary.
47 CFR 74.735(c)(4) requires that all azimuth plane patterns be
plotted in a PDF attachment to the application in LMS in a size
sufficient to be easily viewed. 47 CFR 74.735(c)(6) requires that all
azimuth plane patterns be plotted in a PDF attachment to the
application in LMS in a size sufficient to be easily viewed. 47 CFR
74.735(c)(7) requires that if a matrix pattern is submitted in the LMS
application form, similar tabulations must be provided as necessary in
the form of a spreadsheet attachment to the application in LMS to
accurately represent the pattern.
47 CFR 74.763(b) provides that in the event that causes beyond the
control of the low power or translator station licensee make it
impossible to continue operating, the licensee may discontinue
operation for a period of not more than 30 days without further
authority from the FCC. 47 CFR 74.763(b) requires that no later than
the tenth day of discontinued operation, notification must be sent
electronically via a Suspension of Operations Notice filing in the
Commission's LMS database. In the event normal operation is restored
before the end of the 30-day period, the licensee must notify the FCC
of the date that normal operations resumed by filing a Resumption of
Operations Notice filing in LMS. Finally, Section 74.763(b) requires
that if causes beyond the control of the licensee make it impossible to
comply within the allowed period, a licensee may make a request for
Special Temporary Authority via LMS no later than the 30th day for such
additional time as may be necessary.
