Reading Time:about a minute or two
The Federal Communications Commission has issued a final rule to update its FM Table of Allotments by reinstating certain vacant FM allotments. These allotments became vacant due to cancellations of authorizations and licenses, or the dismissal of applications, and their reinstatement is intended to enable licensing processes. The Commission determined that further notice and comment are unnecessary, as this action is considered ministerial. This rule is effective as of February 16, 2021.
Simple Explanation
The Federal Communications Commission decided to put back some radio spots that were empty, so people can use them to broadcast on the radio again. They didn't ask the public for more opinions because they thought it was a simple task.
