73.807: Difference between revisions

Proposals for LPFM facilities located within 320 kilometers (198.8 miles) of the Canadian and Mexican borders will be coordinated with  [[wikipedia:Innovation,_Science_and_Economic_Development_Canada|Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada]] (ISED) or Mexico's [[wikipedia:Federal_Telecommunications_Institute|Instituto Federal de Telecomunicaciones]] (IFT) in accordance with the appropriate international agreements.  Normally, those countries will reply with either an acceptance or a objection of the proposed facility.  As a result, a grant of an LPFM construction permit in a border zone may take longer than the time it takes for a proposal not involving international coordination. In some cases, the foreign administration may not timely reply to the Commission's proposal.  In those cases, the FCC may grant the LPFM construction permit application with a condition that the proposal is still awaiting concurrence from the foreign administration, which can still object to the LPFM proposal.  In those cases, the three years allowed to complete construction can be extended under the FCC's [[tolling]] policy.
