Federal Communications Commission DA 19-148 DA 19-481 Released: May 29, 2019 MEDIA BUREAU ANNOUNCES PROCEDURES FOR RELEASING PUBLIC NOTICE OF APPLICATIONS FILED 2019-2022 RADIO LICENSE RENEWAL CYCLE By this Public Notice, the FCC’s Media Bureau announces revisions to the procedures for releasing Public Notice of the acceptance for filing and disposal of license renewal applications filed during the upcoming 2019-2022 radio license renewal cycle. As part of the transition to the Licensing and Management System (LMS), the Bureau will release Public Notice of the acceptance for filing of all license renewal applications filed in May 2019 during the first week of June 2019. This will not impact the deadline for interested parties to file petitions to deny or informal objections. Petitions to deny must be filed no later than 30 days before the expiration of the current license, and informal objections must be filed prior to the grant of the renewal application. See 47 CFR § 73.3516(e). The deadline for filing petitions to deny late-filed renewal applications is 90 days after public notice of the application. See 47 CFR § 73.3516(e)(1). Public Notice of the acceptance for filing of license renewal applications filed after June 3, 2019, the disposal of renewal applications filed in LMS, and the filing and disposal of renewal-related pleadings filed in LMS will be released within two to three days after filing or Commission action. License renewal applications filed during the upcoming license renewal cycle will appear in a Report titled “Applications” included in the Commission’s Daily Digest release; they will not appear in the CDBS-generated “Broadcast Applications” Report. Similarly, action on license renewal applications filed during the upcoming license renewal cycle will appear in a Report titled “Actions” in the Daily Digest release; they will not appear in the CDBS-generated “Broadcast Actions” Report. Finally, renewal-related pleadings filed or disposed of in LMS will appear in a Report titled “Pleadings” in the Daily Digest release; they will not appear in the CDBS-generated Report. New LMS users may find additional guidance on the Audio Division’s LMS Help Center page, which can be found at https://www.fcc.gov/media/radio/lms-help-center.
