The Consent Decree resolves issues arising from the Bureau’s review of the captioned license renewal applications for the Stations as to whether the Licensee violated Sections 73.3526 and 73.3527 of the Commission’s Rules (the “Rules”).1 2. The Consent Decree provides, among other things, that the Licensee will institute and maintain, for three years, a Compliance Plan for the Stations and make a $7,500 voluntary contribution to the United States Treasury.
