This publication requirement also applies to major amendments as defined in 47 C.F.R. Sections 73.3572(b) (television), and 73.3573(b) (FM).

For noncommercial stations not yet on the air publication generally must be in a newspaper of general circulation in the community to which the station is licensed.
