Dear Mr. Huang:
This letter concerns the Chinese Culture and Art Heritage Foundation’s (“CCAHF”) Form 318 
application for a construction permit for a low power broadcast FM (“LPFM”) station in San Francisco, 
CA, File No. BNPL-20140130ADE (“LPFM Application”) and CCAHF’s amended Form 318 
application, BNPL-20140130ADK (“Amendment”).  For the reasons discussed below, the Media Bureau 
(“Bureau”) will accept the LPFM Application as timely filed, but will return the Amendment.
Following the close of the LPFM window on November, 15, 2013,1 CCAHF contacted the 
Bureau to request the acceptance of the LPFM Application and Amendment.  CCAHF contends that it 
had successfully filed an application on November 14, 2013 (“November Application”).  It also claims 
that it attempted to amend the November Application on November 15, 2013, by first deleting the 
November Application and then creating and filing a replacement application (“Amended Application”) 
which incorporated the amendment.  CCAHF was unable to complete and file the Amended Application 
prior to the close of the LPFM window.    
The Bureau’s internal Consolidated Database System’s (“CDBS”) records confirm that the 
Bureau timely received the November Application.2 The Bureau has also confirmed that due to CDBS 
limitations, the November Application could not be routinely amended on November 15, 2013.  In these
circumstances, CCAHF’s only option for amending the November Application on the last day of the 
LPFM window was to create and file a replacement application and delete the November Application.  
  
1 See Media Bureau Extends Low Power FM Filing Window, Public Notice, 28 FCC Rcd 15763 (2013). 
2 According to the Bureau’s CDBS records, the November Application was assigned the file number 
20131114BQQ.
2Because there is clear evidence the November Application had been timely filed, the Bureau accepted the 
LPFM Application on January 30, 2014.3  
However, there is no evidence that the Amendment, which the Bureau also provisionally accepted 
on January 30, 2014, was timely filed.  Accordingly, the Amendment will be returned.  We note, though, 
under the rules, LPFM applicants are now allowed to file minor amendments to their Form 318 
applications.4  Accordingly, CCAHF may resubmit the Amendment, but CCAHF may not rely on any 
post-window amendment to improve its comparative qualifications.5
Sincerely,
Peter H. Doyle
Chief, Audio Division
Media Bureau
  
3 The LPFM Application will be reassigned its original file number in the near future.
