There is no need to go back to Congress for any additional legislation. No new application forms need to be constructed. The existing application forms, applicable to NCE stations, are sufficient. Yet, the regulations are broad enough to allow the establishment of new Class D stations by community groups, as well as schools. No new technical requirements need to be adopted.
Adequate regulations are already on the books.
By requiring Class D stations to operate non-commercially, LPFM stations established pursuant to the School District's proposal will present no threat to the existing system of free commercial broadcasting which, obviously, needs to be preserved. Yet, it meets the apparent need, reflected by the other rule making proponents and by the many inquiries which the Commission receives each year for an LPFM service.
