Needs and Uses: On September 24,

Second Report and Order and Second 

Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 

In the Matter of An Inquiry Into the 

Commission’s Policies and Rules 

Regarding AM Radio Service Directional 

Antenna Performance Verification, MM 

Docket No. 93–177, FCC 08–228. The 

Second Report and Order permits AM 

stations using directional antennas to 

use computer modeling techniques to 

verify AM directional antenna 

performance, thereby reducing the 

regulatory burden on these stations. 

Directional AM stations use antennas 

which suppress radiated field in some 

directions and enhance it in others. 

Under our current rules, an AM licensee 

operating with a directional antenna 

must perform a proof of performance to 

demonstrate that the antenna pattern 

conforms to the station’s authorization. 

An AM station must perform a full proof 

to verify the pattern shape when a new 

directional antenna system is 

authorized. Partial proofs, which require 

fewer measurements, are occasionally 

necessary to show that an array 

continues to operate properly. 

Typically, a full proof requires 

measurement of the AM station’s field 

strength on six to 12 critical bearings, 

ranging to distances of 15 kilometers or 

more from the antenna. Subsequent 

graphical analysis of proof 

measurements also requires substantial 

time and expense. In contrast, the 

computer modeling techniques 

authorized in the Second Report and 

Order are based on internal 

measurements, making the proof 

process less time-consuming and 

expensive for AM licensees. 

In order to control interference 

between stations and assure adequate 

community coverage, AM stations must 

conduct various engineering 

measurements to demonstrate that the 

antenna system operates as authorized. 

The following rule sections are included 

in this collection. 

The revised information collection 

requirements are as follows: 

47 CFR 73.61(a) states each AM 

station using a directional antenna with 

monitoring point locations specified in 

the instrument of authorization must 

make field strength measurements at the 

monitoring point locations specified in 

the instrument of authorization, as often 

as necessary to ensure that the field at 

those points does not exceed the values 

specified in the station authorization. 

Additionally, stations not having an 

approved sampling system must make 

the measurements once each calendar 

quarter at intervals not exceeding 120 

days. The provision of this paragraph 

supersedes any schedule specified on a 

station license issued prior to January 1, 

1986. The results of the measurements 

are to be entered into the station log 

pursuant to the provisions of 

§§ 73.1820. 

47 CFR 73.61(b) states if the AM 

license was granted on the basis of field 

strength measurements performed 

pursuant to Sec. 73.151(a), partial proof 

of performance measurements using the 

procedures described in Sec. 73.154 

must be made whenever the licensee 

has reason to believe that the radiated 

field may be exceeding the limits for 

which the station was most recently 

authorized to operate. 

47 CFR 73.68(c) states a station having 

an antenna sampling system constructed 

according to the specifications given in 

paragraph (a) of this section may obtain 

approval of that system by submitting 

an informal letter request to the FCC in 

Washington, DC, Attention: Audio 

Division, Media Bureau. The request for 

approval, signed by the licensee or 

authorized representative, must contain 

sufficient information to show that the 

sampling system is in compliance with 

all requirements of paragraph (a) of this 

section. 

47 CFR 73.68(d) states in the event 

that the antenna monitor sampling
