Abstract: On March 19, 2012, the FCC released a Fifth Report and Order, Fourth Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking and Third Order on Reconsideration, Creation of a Low Power Radio Service, MM Docket No. 99-25, FCC 12-28. In the Fourth Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking ("Fourth Further Notice"), the FCC proposes to revise Section 73.853(b) of the Commission's rules ("rules") to permit federally recognized Native American Tribes and Alaska Native Villages ("Tribes") and entities owned or controlled by Tribes to hold LPFM licenses ("Tribal Organizations"). We note that the overall number of respondents may increase because this proposed rule change would expand the universe of applicants eligible to apply for an LPFM station. We have revised the Form 318 to reflect this proposal. We also have revised the Form 318 to specify a new information collection requirement applicable to Tribes and Tribal Organizations, and to specify new information collection requirements applicable to the other categories of applicants eligible to seek LPFM licenses.
