Title: Public Telecommunications Facilities Program | |
Abstract: The Public Telecommunications Facilities Program (PTFP) is authorized under Public Telecommunications Financing Act of 1978, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 390-393, 397. PTFP supports the planning and construction of public telecommunications facilities in order to: (a) extend delivery of services to as many citizens as possible by the most cost-effective means, including use of broadcast as well as nonbroadcast technologies; (b) increase public telecommunications services and facilities available to, operated by, and controlled by minorities and women; and (c) strengthen the capability of existing public TV and radio stations to provide public telecommunications services to the public. The program awards approximately $13 million in grants annually and operates under rules established in 15 CFR part 2301. FY 1996 funds were appropriated pursuant to the Department of Commerce, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act 1995, P.L. 104-134. | |
