Abstract
In this document, the Commission adopts final rules pursuant to the Preventing Illegal Radio Abuse Through Enforcement Act (PIRATE Act). Section 2 of the PIRATE Act adds a new section to the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the Communications Act), enumerated as section 511 and entitled "Enhanced Penalties for Pirate Radio Broadcasting; Enforcement Sweeps; Reporting." This Order amends the Commission's rules to implement that provision.
