FCC Form 303-S can also be used in seeking the joint renewal of licenses for an FM or TV translator station and its co-owned primary FM, TV, or LPTV station. 47 CFR Section 73.3580 requires local public notice when filing the license renewal application. For AM, FM, and TV stations, these announcements are made on-the-air. For FM/TV translators and AM/FM/TV station that are silent, the public notice should be published in a newspaper of general circulation. The FCC staff uses the data to assure that the necessary reports connected with the renewal application have been filed and that the licensee meets the basic statutory requirements to remain a broadcast station licensee.
