§  74.16   Temporary extension of station licenses.

   Where there is pending before the Commission any application,
   investigation, or proceeding which, after hearing, might lead to or
   make necessary the modification of, revocation of, or the refusal to
   renew an existing auxiliary broadcast station license or a television
   broadcast translator station license, the Commission in its discretion,
   may grant a temporary extension of such license: Provided, however,
   That no such temporary extension shall be construed as a finding by the
   Commission that the operation of any radio station thereunder will
   serve public interest, convenience, and necessity beyond the express
   terms of such temporary extension of license: And provided further,
   That such temporary extension of license will in no wise affect or
   limit the action of the Commission with respect to any pending
   application or proceeding.
