LPFM applications also must protect pending broadcast applications in these services that were filed prior to the date of this Notice, along with LPFM applications filed in the previous filing windows. Finally, LPFM applications must protect existing vacant FM allotments. See 47 C.F.R. �� 73.807 and 73.825. An LPFM application that fails to protect these authorizations, applications, and allotments will be dismissed with no opportunity to correct the deficiency. Each applicant must be a nonprofit educational organization, a nonprofit educational institution or must propose a noncommercial public safety radio service. Please note, when completing FCC Form 318, the name of the organization or institution must

However, to accommodate those applicants for states and territories originally included in Window 5, we are providing 60 days, rather than the typical 30, to prepare applications. Applicants should be aware that the Commission recently codified two Congressionally-mandated rule changes. Section 73.807, as modified, now requires that LPFM stations meet prescribed minimum distance separations to full service FM and FM translator stations operating on third adjacent channels. Section 73.854 now prohibits an applicant from obtaining an LPFM license if that applicant, or any party to the application has engaged in any manner in the unlicensed operation of any station in violation of

  • Channel 257A at Cridersville will force Station WBWH-LP to cease operation because the LPFM station would cause interference to the Cridersville allotment. Bluffton University recognizes that LPFMs are secondary to FM commercial stations. Bluffton University states that preliminary inquiry reveals that two other channels are available at Station WBWH-LP's authorized site that may meet the minimum spacing requirements of Section 73.807 of the Commission's rules. As such, the entity requests that we set forth the procedures to follow in the context of this proceeding. 4. Discussion. We find that the public interest would be served by allotting Channel 257A at Cridersville, Ohio, as its first local service. As discussed in the Notice, Channel 257A can be allotted consistent with the Commission's

Susquehanna's modification application was granted on January 6, 2004. Thus, pursuant to the requirements of Sections 73.807 and 73.809 specified above, WABZ-FM's modified facilities were ``subsequently authorized'' and the grant of the WABZ-FM modification application does not result in Central's proposal becoming noncompliant with the Commission's distance separation requirements. The change in WABZ-FM's facility, however, does result in Central's application causing predicted interference within WABZ-FM's principal community contour at its currently permitted site for Indian Trail.

Thin Air proposes to change operations from Channel 237 to Channel 210 at its licensed site. Background. The proposed facility is short-spaced to second-adjacent channel Station KEWU-FM, Cheney, WA, licensed to Eastern Washington University (``EWU''), in violation of Section 73.807 of the Commission's Rules. Thin Air recognizes this violation and requests waiver of the minimum distance separation provisions of Section 73.807. The waiver is requested so KYRS can modify its facilities prior to commencement of program test operations by co-channel Station KPND(FM), Sandpoint, ID.

The Act, at section 632(2)(1)(A), required the FCC to modify its LPFM rules to ``prescribe minimum distance separations for third adjacent channels as well as for co-channels and first- and second-adjacent channels.'' To implement the Act, the FCC has revised Section 73.807 to include minimum distance separations between LPFM stations and full power FM and FM translator stations operating on channels third adjacent to any new LPFM stations. These third adjacent spacings are standard consistent with current full power FM station third adjacent channel protection levels.

In its objection, RTN alleges that the grant of Iglesia's application would cause interference to FM translator station W244BE. LPFM applications must meet the minimum spacing requirements set forth in Section 73.807(d) with respect to FM translators. According to Section 73.807(d), the required spacing between an LPFM and a first-adjacent translator with a 60 dBu distance of less than 7.3 kilometers is 15 kilometers. The actual distance between Iglesia's LPFM application and W244BE is 15 kilometers. Therefore, the application is in compliance with Section 73.807(d). Accordingly, we find RTN's informal objection to

In its objections, FMEMA argues that the CCG, Faith Presbyterian, and Civic Media applications should be denied, pursuant to Section 73.807, for failing to meet separation requirements for all new LPFM applications. Each of these applicants specifies the same transmitter site. FMEMA argues that because only one LPFM proposal can be authorized at those coordinates, only applicants applying for the same channel with differing transmitting site locations, ``within the same 5.6 contour area,'' are to be considered ``mutually exclusive.'' FMEMA argues

In December of 2000, Congress passed the ``Making Appropriations for the Government of the District of Columbia for FY 2001'' Act (``the Act''), which required the Commission to modify its rules to prescribe LPFM station third-adjacent channel interference protection standards. In response to this mandate, the Commission amended Section 73.807 of the Commission's Rules (the ``Rules''). It also modified the Commission-developed ``Channel Finder'' tool prior to the opening of the third LPFM window to include third-adjacent channel protection standards. Applicants using that tool - as suggested by the Public Notice announcing the third LPFM filing window -- were advised of the third-adjacent channel protection requirements.

Only those translator applications in conflict with LPFM filings would ultimately be dismissed under this approach. However, for the reasons stated above, we may implement this approach only if we conclude that Section 5(3) does not bar the Commission from waiving Section 73.807(d). We seek comment on the lawfulness of this licensing procedure. This approach also would necessarily delay further the processing of translator applications, filed in the 2003 window and now frozen for six years, until after the close of the next LPFM window.

The Act, at section 632(2)(1)(A), required the FCC to modify its LPFM rules to prescribe minimum distance separations for third adjacent channels as well as for co-channels and first- and second-adjacent channels. To implement the Act, the FCC has revised Section 73.807 to include minimum distance separations between LPFM stations and full power FM and FM translator stations operating on channels third adjacent to any new LPFM stations. These third adjacent spacings are standard consistent with current full power FM station third adjacent channel protection levels.

It essentially lays the groundwork for Section 3(a) of the LCRA, which requires the Commission to ``modify its rules to eliminate third-adjacent minimum distance separation requirements between-(1) low-power FM stations; and (2) full service FM stations, FM translator stations, and FM booster stations.'' Section 73.807 of the Commission's rules currently sets forth these spacing requirements.

  • Order (Second R&O) adopts modifications to the LPFM service rules implementing provisions of the FY 2001 Appropriations Act (Act). The Act, at section 632(2)(1)(A), required the FCC to modify its LPFM rules to prescribe minimum distance separations for third adjacent channels as well as for co-channels and first- and second-adjacent channels. To implement the Act, the FCC has revised Section 73.807 to include minimum distance separations between LPFM stations and full power FM and FM translator stations operating on channels third adjacent to any new LPFM stations. These third adjacent spacings are standard consistent with current full power FM station third adjacent channel protection levels. The Act required the FCC to modify its rules to prohibit any applicant from obtaining a

This rule establishes a minimum distance separation between stations operating on the same frequency (also called co- channel) and also between those stations operating on first- adjacent channels. For example, if an LPFM station application specifies a frequency of 94.7 MHz, the Commission will determine whether co-channel proposals on 94.7 and first-adjacent channel proposals on 94.5
