§ 73.23 AM broadcast station applications affected by international
agreements.
(a) Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this section, no application for
an AM station will be accepted for filing if authorization of the facilities
requested would be inconsistent with international commitments of the United
States under treaties and other international agreements, arrangements and
understandings. (See list of such international instruments in § 73.1650(b)).
Any such application that is inadvertently accepted for filing will be
dismissed.
(b) AM applications that involve conflicts only with the North American
Regional Broadcasting Agreement (NARBA), but that are in conformity with the
remaining treaties and other international agreements listed in § 73.1650(b)
and with the other requirements of this part 73, will be granted subject to
such modifications as the FCC may subsequently find appropriate, taking
international considerations into account.
(c) In the case of any application designated for hearing on issues other
than those related to consistency with international relationships and as to
which no final decision has been rendered, whenever action under this
section becomes appropriate because of inconsistency with international
relationships, the applicant involved shall, notwithstanding the provisions
§ § 73.3522 and 73.3571, be permitted to amend its application to achieve
consistency with such relationships. In such cases the provisions of
§ 73.3605(c) will apply.
(d) In some circumstances, special international considerations may require
that the FCC, in acting on applications, follow procedures different from
those established for general use. In such cases, affected applicants will
be informed of the procedures to be followed.
