How this list works

  • Documents shown are Federal Communications Commission items in the Federal Register (federalregister.gov), the government's official daily record of federal rules and notices. Every title opens the official document.
  • Broadcast covers documents in any Media Bureau (MB) docket, plus any document that cites or amends part 11 of 47 CFR (EAS), part 73 (AM, FM and television broadcast) or part 74 (translators and boosters, LPTV and auxiliary).
  • Deadlines to comment are as the Federal Register lists them. For petitions for reconsideration, the opposition and reply dates appear below the title. A proceeding may set other deadlines, and the document itself controls.

Neither the FCC nor the Office of the Federal Register produces this.
