Abstract:
This submission is being made to the Office of Management (OMB) for the approval of information collection requirements contained in the Commission’s All-Digital AM Broadcasting Report and Order adopted October 27, 2020, and released on October 28, 2020, FCC 20-154, where the Commission adopts rules to allow AM radio stations, on a voluntary basis, to broadcast an all-digital signal using the HD radio in-band on-channel (IBOC) mode name MA3. This action will benefit AM stations and their listeners by improving reception quality and listenable signal coverage in stations’ service areas and by advancing the Commission’s goal of improving the AM service, thereby helping to ensure the future of the service. AM broadcast station licensees are required to notify the Commission of a change to all-digital operations using Digital Notification Form, FCC Form 335-AM.
