Sec. 74.532  Licensing requirements.

    (a) An aural broadcast STL or an aural broadcast intercity relay 
station will be licensed only to the licensee or licensees of broadcast 
stations, other than international broadcast stations, and for use with 
broadcast stations owned entirely by or under common control of the 
licensee or licensees. An aural broadcast intercity relay station also 
will be licensed for use by noncommercial educational FM translator 
stations assigned to reserved channels (Channels 201-220) and owned and 
operated by their primary station, by FM translator stations operating 
within the coverage contour of their primary stations, and by FM booster 
stations.
    (b) More than one aural broadcast STL or intercity relay station may 
be licensed to a single licensee upon a satisfactory showing that the 
additional stations are needed to provide different program circuits to 
more than one broadcast station, to provide program circuits from other 
studios, or to provide one or more intermediate relay stations over a 
path which cannot be covered with a single station due to terrain or 
distance.
    (c) If more than one broadcast station or class of broadcast station 
is to be served by a single aural broadcast auxiliary station, this 
information must be stated in the application for construction permit or 
license.
    (d) Licensees of aural broadcast STL and intercity relay stations 
may be authorized to operate one or more aural broadcast microwave 
booster stations for the purpose of relaying signals over a path that 
cannot be covered with a single station.

    Note: Applications for aural broadcast microwave booster stations 
will not be accepted for filing prior to January 1, 1985.

    (e) Each aural broadcast auxiliary station will be licensed at a 
specified transmitter location to communicate with a specified receiving 
location, and the direction of the main radiation lobe of the 
transmitting antenna will be a term of the station authorization.
    (f) In case of permanent discontinuance of operation of a station 
licensed under this subpart, the licensee shall forward the station 
license to the Federal Communications Commission,
