The LPTV service rules (Part 74, Subpart G) do not make reference to this rule section.

- 309(j)(14)(A) of the Communications Act provides that the Commission may not renew a television broadcast license for ``analog television service'' for a period extending beyond December 31, 2006. The term ``analog television service'' in Section 309(j)(14) is defined in Section 3 of the Communications Act as ``television service provided pursuant to the transmission standards prescribed by the Commission in Section 73.682(a) of its regulations,'' a rule that deals with full-service station transmission standards. In the Notice we sought comment on whether Section 309(j)(14)(A) applies to analog authorizations in the LPTV, TV translator, and Class A services.
