The Third NPRM for the Low Power FM Radio Service (MM Docket 99-25) and the Scope of Translators proceeding (MB Docket 07-172) has been published in the Federal Register. This will start the clock on the comment period.
Comments are due: August 29, 2011.
Reply comments due: September 12, 2011.
Comments may be filed electronically through the FCC's Electronic Comment Filing System (ECFS).
REC will be issuing opinions on the aspects of the NPRM at a later time.
In a separate move, REC Networks has issued a formal Motion for Supplemental Information in this proceeding. In the motion, REC is asking the FCC to release the geographic coordinates that they used to evaluate the "study areas" for each of the 150 media markets in order to determine LPFM availability which is being used to determine whether translators in a particular market will be granted or dismissed.
