§ 73.878 Station inspections by FCC; availability to FCC of station logs
and records.
(a) The licensee of a broadcast station shall make the station
available for inspection by representatives of the FCC during the
station's business hours, and at any time it is in operation. In the
course of an inspection or investigation, an FCC representative may
require special equipment or program tests.
(b) Station records and logs shall be made available for inspection or
duplication at the request of the FCC or its representatives. Such logs
or records may be removed from the licensee's possession by an FCC
representative or, upon request, shall be mailed by the licensee to the
FCC by either registered mail, return receipt requested, or certified
mail, return receipt requested. The return receipt shall be retained by
the licensee as part of the station records until such records or logs
are returned to the licensee. A receipt shall be furnished when the
logs or records are removed from the licensee's possession by an FCC
representative and this receipt shall be retained by the licensee as
part of the station records until such records or logs are returned to
the licensee. When the FCC has no further need for such records or
logs, they shall be returned to the licensee. The provisions of this
rule shall apply solely to those station logs and records that are
required to be maintained by the provisions of this part.
(1) Where records or logs are maintained as the official records of a
recognized law enforcement agency and the removal of the records from
the possession of the law enforcement agency will hinder its law
enforcement activities, such records will not be removed pursuant to
this section if the chief of the law enforcement agency promptly
certifies in writing to the FCC that removal of the logs or records
will hinder law enforcement activities of the agency, stating insofar
as feasible the basis for his decision and the date when it can
reasonably be expected that such records will be released to the FCC.
