About this list

  • Documents come straight from the Federal Register (federalregister.gov), the official daily publication of federal rules and notices, for the Federal Communications Commission. Each title links to the official document.
  • Broadcast means the document amends or cites 47 CFR part 11 (Emergency Alert System), part 73 (AM, FM and TV broadcast) or part 74 (translators, boosters, low power TV and auxiliary), or is in a Media Bureau (MB) docket.
  • Comment deadlines are the Federal Register's own. Petitions for reconsideration list their opposition and reply dates under the title. Proceedings can set other deadlines; the document itself is the final word.

Not a product of the FCC or the Office of the Federal Register.
