Creation of a Low Power Radio Service

This document amends our Low Power Radio Service ("LPFM") regulations to implement section 632(a) of the "Making Appropriations for the Government of the District of Columbia for FY 2001" Act (the "Act"). Specifically, the Second Report and Order codifies the Act's requirements that the Commission prescribe LPFM station third adjacent channel interference protection standards and prohibit the grant of an LPFM station license if the applicant has engaged in the unlicensed operation of a station in violation of section 301 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended. This document also defines the scope of permissible minor amendments that may be filed by LPFM applicants outside window filing periods.
