In re: K2O6DR, Shelton, WA
Facility ID No. 91130
Silent since September 28, 2012
Request for Special Temporary
Authority to Remain Silent
Dear Mr. Tepper:
This letter concerns the request you filed on October 1, 2012, on behalf of Calvary Chapel of
Twin Falls, Inc. ("Calvary"), for Special Temporary Authority to permit FM Translator Radio Station
K2O6DR to remain silent.
Calvary's request states that Station K2O6DR went silent on September 28, 2012, due to technical
problems. The request includes the appropriate certification regarding Section 5301 of the Anti-Drug
Abuse Act of 1988.1
Calvary's request is granted. Accordingly, Special Temporary Authority is granted to permit
Station K2O6DR to remain silent not to exceed 180 days from the date of this letter. Notwithstanding
the grant of this Special Temporary Authority, the broadcast license for Station K2O6DR will
automatically expire as a matter of law if broadcast operations do not commence by 12:01 a.m.,
September 29, 2013.2 See Section 312(g) of the Communications Act, 47 U.S.C. § 312(g).
The station's silent status does not suspend the licensee's obligation to comply with all other
relevant Commission rules, including the filing, when appropriate, of applications for renewal of
broadcast license. Finally, we note that it is imperative to the safety of air navigation that any prescribed
painting and illumination of the station's tower shall be maintained until removed. See 47 C.F.R. § 17.6
and 73. 1740(a)(4).
Sincerely,

s)

Lisa Scanlan
Assistant Chief, Audio Division
Media Bureau

In the event extension of special temporary authority is sought, please renew the certification in this matter.
2 In addition to filing electronically with the Coinniission on the date operations resume, notification of resumption
of broadcast operations must be emailed to Denise.Williams@FCC.gov.
