a particular matter that came before the

at least one specific party. See also 18

There is no need for confidentiality with 

this collection of information. 

Privacy Impact Assessment(s): No 

impact(s). 

Needs and Uses: 47 CFR Section 

73.1870 requires that the licensee of an 

AM, FM, or TV broadcast station 

designate a chief operator of the station. 

Section 73.1870(b)(3) requires that this 

designation must be in writing and 

posted with the station license. Section 

73.1230 requires that all licensees post 

station licenses ‘‘at the place the 

licensee considers the principal control 

point of the transmitter’’ generally at the 

transmitter site. Agreements with chief 

operators serving on a contract basis 

must be in writing with a copy kept in 

the station files. Section 73.1870(c)(3) 

requires that the chief operator, or 

personnel delegated and supervised by 

the chief operator, review the station 

records at least once each week to 

determine if required entries are being 

made correctly, and verify that the 

station has been operated in accordance 

with FCC rules and the station 

authorization. Upon completion of the 

review, the chief operator must date and 

sign the log, initiate corrective action 

which may be necessary and advise the 

station licensee of any condition which 

is repetitive. The posting of the 

designation of the chief operator is used 

by interested parties to readily identify 

the chief operator. The review of the 

station records is used by the chief 

operator, and FCC staff in 

investigations, to ensure that the station 

is operating in accordance with its 

station authorization and the FCC rules 

and regulations.
