## Abstract

This document continues the Commission's wide-ranging reform of the Mass Media Bureau's radio technical rules. These rule modifications were proposed as part of a broad-based initiative, undertaken in conjunction with the Commission's 1998 biennial regulatory review, to streamline the Mass Media Bureau radio technical rules, and are intended to speed the introduction of new and improved broadcast services to the public, provide greater flexibility to broadcasters to improve existing services, and reduce regulatory burdens on applicants.
