For the reasons provided in the application request, Special Temporary Authority IS GRANTED
for operation of the station above with the parameters specified in the STA request only.
The licensee is responsible for addressing any complaints of interference that may arise.
When operations pursuant to this STA commence, the licensee shall file a
Notice of Resumption of Operations in the FCC’s CDBS electronic filing system.
We remind the licensee that the station's license will expire as a matter of law upon twelve consecutive
months of silence [ending June 8, 2019], notwithstanding the grant of the present STA. See Pub.
Law No. 104-104, 110 Stat. 56, Section 403(1) (1996) and Order, Silent Station Authorizations, FCC 96-218
(released May 17, 1996). See also Public Notice, Expedited Processing of Applications Filed by Silent
Stations, DA 96-818 (May 22, 1996). Please be aware that unauthorized operations – operations with
facilities not authorized by a current STA or license – do not count as a resumption of operations within
one year for the purposes of Section 312(g) of the Communications Act, and cannot be used to avoid
the consequences of Section 312(g). See A-O Broadcasting Corporation, FCC 08-10, 23 FCC Rcd 603 (2008).
This STA authority expires November 13, 2019.

--------------------Considerations:
Licensee must take all steps to ensure that workers and the public are not exposed to radiofrequency exposure
In excess of the Commission’s exposure limit.
Requests for extension of STA may be granted only where the licensee can show that one or more of the following criteria have been
met:
• Restoration of licensed facilities is complete and testing is underway;
• Substantial progress has been made during the most recent STA period toward restoration of licensed operation; or
• No progress has been made during the most recent STA period for reasons clearly beyond the licensee's control, and the
licensee has taken all possible steps to expeditiously resolve the problem.
