Title: Amendment of Part 73 Rules to Update Television and Class A Television Broadcast Station Rules, and Rules Applicable to All Broadcast Stations (MB Docket No. 22-227) 
Abstract:

In this proceeding, the Commission seeks to adopt revisions to rules in part 0, part 27, subparts E, H, I, J, and L of part 73, and certain parts of parts 74 and 90 in light of the fact that all television services have ceased analog operations. The Commission proposes to amend section headings and language in rules to remove references to DTV, digital, and analog television service, as these distinctions are no longer necessary. The Commission also propose to delete outdated rules that are no longer valid given changes in Commission-adopted policy. The Commission also proposes other non-substantive, technical revisions. The Commission also proposes to update rules to reference the current designation for form numbers (e.g., FCC Form 2100) and by requiring electronic filing in the Commission's Licensing and Management System. The Commission also propose to make corrections or updates, inter alia, to section headings, spelling, contact information, and rule cross-references, or to language inadvertently omitted from a rule.
