    Needs and Uses: When a permit is subject to tolling construction is 
encumbered due to an act of God, or when a construction permit is the 
subject of administrative or judicial review, 47 CFR Section 73.3598(c) 
requires a permittee to notify the Commission as promptly as possible 
and, in any event, within 30 days, and to provide supporting 
documentation. All notifications must also be filed in the station's 
local public file. On March 17, 2005, the Commission released a Second 
Order on Reconsideration and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, In 
the Matter of the Creation of a Low Power Radio Service, MM Docket NO. 
99.25, FCC 05-75. The Second Order on Reconsideration established an 
interim waiver policy to increase the likelihood that permittees will 
complete construction and commence operation. Therefore, the Commission 
delegated to the Media Bureau the authority to consider request for 
waivers of the construction period as specified in 47 CFR Section 
73.3598(a) even if the requirements under the tolling rules are not 
met. A Low Power FM permittee may request a waiver and the waiver may 
be granted if the permittee demonstrates that construction of its 
broadcast facilities cannot be completed within the allotted 18 months 
for reasons beyond its control, that the permittee expects to be able 
to complete

construction within the additional 18 months that the construction 
extension would provide, and that the public interest would be served 
by the extension.

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary.
