The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is asking for public comments on reducing the paperwork burden for small businesses with fewer than 25 employees, as part of its efforts under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 and the Small Business Paperwork Relief Act of 2002. The FCC is introducing a new form that will allow FM and low power FM broadcasters to use FM booster stations to originate program content. This will enable these stations to customize broadcasts for local needs. The FCC requires that all program originating FM boosters report their activities to track and manage the new broadcasting capabilities. Public comments are due by June 2, 2025.
Simple Explanation
The FCC wants to make it easier for small radio stations to fill out forms so they can use special helpers to make radio shows for different local areas, and they are asking people to tell them how. They need help figuring out how to keep track of everything without making it too hard or expensive, especially for tiny radio stations with only a few people working there.
