Silent stations
Article Abstract:
Silent broadcast stations off the air for twelve consecutive months will lose their licenses under a change made by the 1996 Telecom Act. In order to get back on the air, silent stations should file a Request to Expedite Application of Silent Station transmittal letter with the FCC. The 12-month time limit will not be tolled by pending applications; since applications can take from 45 days to four months to process, stations should act expeditiously in order to get on the air.

Ex parte communications
Article Abstract:
The FCC has revised its rules governing ex parte communications. Ex parte presentations and lobbying efforts can be made during exempt and permit-but-disclose procedures. However, only formal communications are allowed in conjunction with restricted proceedings. The guidelines for each of these three types of proceedings, proceeding status changes, Sunshine Agenda prohibitions on presentations, and other ex parte rules are also discussed.
