FCC Chairman [[Wikipedia:William Kennard|William Kennard]] was very pleased that they have taken the next step in creating room on the dial for real community radio of, for, and by the people, noting that the FCC had already received close to 1,200 LPFM applications from the first 20 states to file. Addressing NPR's concerns, he stated that the FCC has established an enforcement procedure (which in a separate statement, Commissioner [[Wikipedia:Susan Ness|Susan Ness]] refers to as a "rocket docket") that will allow for the expedited resolution of any unexpected significant interference. According to Kennard, full-power and LPFM are "important to America" and he believes that these services can "co-exist and flourish to the benefit of American communities. | |||
== Rule sections | [[Wikipedia:Harold W. Furchtgott-Roth|Harold Furchtgott-Roth]] maintains his dissent, disagreeing with the FCC's decision to uphold the overall decision to not require third-adjacent channel protections. "In addition, I note that the Commission continues to forge relentless ahead on this issue, notwithstanding the expression of substantial Congressional disapproval of its approach to the creation of this service and the serious interference questions for existing broadcasters and their listeners that remain unresolved to this day. A higher regard for Congress, and those broadcasters who today serve their communities ably and well, would counsel a more serious reconsideration of this issue than that performed today." While [[Wikipedia:Michael Powell (lobbyist)|Michael Powell]] was approving of the addition of a third-adjacent complaint procedure, he remains concerned about the economic consequences to small broadcast stations resulting from the introduction of LPFM. | ||
