The [https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs/search/search-filings/filing/207135 CDC/NLG concept] called for a noncommercial service with only one station per owner and stations shall be locally programmed. Stations would be limited to 50 watts in urban areas and 100 watts in rural areas (no HAAT standard was provided) with the ability to also use 87.5, 87.7 and 87.9 MHz. Microstations would be "registered" with the FCC with a filing fee and would use a "voluntary body set up by the local or regional micropower broadcast community to oversee micropower stations".
