transfer of control of a corporation 

holding an AM, FM, or TV broadcast 

station construction permit or license. 

In addition, the applicant must notify 

the Commission when an approved 

transfer of control of a broadcast station 

construction permit or license has been 

consummated. 

This collection also includes the third 

party disclosure requirement of 47 CFR 

73.3580. This section requires local 

public notice in a newspaper of general 

circulation of the filing of all 

applications for transfer of control of 

license/permit. This notice must be 

completed within 30 days of the 

tendering of the application. This notice 

must be published at least twice a week 

for two consecutive weeks in a threeweek period. A copy of this notice must 

be placed in the public inspection file 

along with the application.

control of license must broadcast the 

same notice over the station at least 

once daily on four days in the second 

week immediately following the 

tendering for filing of the application. 

On June 24, 2004, the U. S. Court of 

Appeals for the Third Circuit (the 

‘‘Court’’) issued an Opinion and 

Judgment (‘‘Remand Order’’) in which it 

upheld certain aspects of the new 

Commission’s ownership rules adopted 

on June 2, 2003 (See 18 FCC Rcd 13620 

(2003)), specifically those dealing with 

local radio ownership, while requiring 

further explanation for all other aspects 

of the new rules. The Court stated that 

its prior stay of all the new rules would 

remain in effect pending the outcome of 

the remand proceeding. The 

Commission filed a petition for 

rehearing requesting that the Court lift 

the stay partially—i.e., with respect to 

the radio ownership rules which the 

Court’s Remand Order upheld. In the 

Rehearing Order, the Court granted the 

petition, thus partially lifting the stay. 

As a result of the Rehearing Order, the 

new radio ownership rules took effect 

September 3, 2004.
