Creation of Low Power Radio Service

This document the Commission affirmed most of the Report and Order creating a new low power FM radio service. It affirmed the LP100 and LP10 classes created in the Report & Order and the 3rd adjacent channel protection for most stations. The Commission did change certain aspects of the rules created by the Report & Order, however, it created a procedure to resolve complaints from listeners of full power radio stations claiming unexpected interference from LPFM stations. The complaint procedures are intended to ensure that if any unexpected, significant 3rd adjacent channel interference problems are caused by the operation of a particular LPFM station, they can be resolved expeditiously. The Commission also preserved existing protection for those stations providing radio reading services for blind or low vision listeners. The Commission made other minor changes to ownership rules involving public safety and transportation organizations and schools.
