Abstract
In this document, the Federal Communications Commission (Commission) grants in part and denies in part Prometheus Radio Project's Petition for Reconsideration of the Sixth Report and Order (Sixth R&O) in this proceeding. In particular, the Commission makes minor revisions to the rule that protects the input signals of FM translator and FM booster stations from interference by low power FM ("LPFM") stations. The Commission also denied the remaining four petitions for reconsideration for the reasons set forth below. These actions will provide clarification of the LPFM rules for entities preparing for the upcoming LPFM filing window.
