FCC Announces Upcoming Filing Window for Applications for Low Power FM Radio New Station Construction Permits
Closes November 8, 2023

The Federal Communications Commission released a Public Notice announcing the opening of an application filing window for new Low Power FM (LPFM) radio stations. This upcoming filing window provides Tribes, among others, the opportunity to apply for a new LPFM station that can cover a localized service area in need of radio service.

The Public Notice<https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001CqjQ9oB9jZYe5lvRwk4E_GDID10Ps2oqnzO_ss2gEe4iLBYwUb9kj5159SlgMl15hMfnZsegjJmleknOH8qHn3rnDcfYXgbSKvvDWAUtyj5qkyIaXy5KcgDszygP1KJ7h9ttsPWxHsNMp2VNxR6VOkQJmYcdxVT56J8FT92_yVobzyjBp5AdRVCdxUz6kX5P&c=ZoPNCDBncOy_dFAzPWLdKbHOwmF6RgvNA8jI9kJ57jzw7En6lTf9Dw==&ch=7QNxHVeNFRiQ00Ca09CJg7tvlouDqPdyGTDUuhud0_tYUQXRga-QmQ==> provides an overview of the application procedures, filing requirements, and comparative selection process that will apply to the upcoming filing window for LPFM new station construction permits. A construction permit is required before an applicant is allowed to construct an LPFM station and a license is required before operation of an LPFM station can begin. This will be the first LPFM filing window since 2013. Potential applicants should carefully review the application procedures and filing requirements in the Public Notice.

The FCC will accept LPFM applications for the entire FM band (channels 201-300) during the filing window, which opens at 12:01am ET on November 1, 2023, and closes at 6:00 pm ET on November 8, 2023. Applicants must file their applications electronically through the FCC Media Bureau’s Licensing and Management System<https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001CqjQ9oB9jZYe5lvRwk4E_GDID10Ps2oqnzO_ss2gEe4iLBYwUb9kj3jsEujm55-Yp1QwWiWLppPVC_xGqqGINsdAuyjWEnQPCe-Bkgpm0tAD8JmWH0NUcPk955uLzF5nsgoW8I97AkFcfr7QJjfZndZ2Z0a909NB-iGwQMVELxQf37fHBAtl4xqPIuWhIjhU&c=ZoPNCDBncOy_dFAzPWLdKbHOwmF6RgvNA8jI9kJ57jzw7En6lTf9Dw==&ch=7QNxHVeNFRiQ00Ca09CJg7tvlouDqPdyGTDUuhud0_tYUQXRga-QmQ==>.

Digital Equity in Tribal Communities Guide

Digital equity is the goal of the Digital Equity Act Programs and the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) Programs. The term Digital Equity means “the condition in which individuals and communities have the information technology capacity that is needed for full participation in the society and economy of the United States.

Digital inclusion refers to the activities “necessary to ensure that all individuals and communities, including the most disadvantaged, have access to and use of Information and Communication Technologies.” 2 Investing in digital inclusion includes providing Internet access, teaching digital skills, and providing devices.

Tribal Libraries Eligible for Hands-On Support Through E-Rate Application and Funding Process

USAC and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced that the E-Rate Tribal Libraries Pilot Program will return for Funding Year 2024, providing one-on-one assistance to Tribal libraries applying for the E-Rate program.
The E-Rate Tribal Libraries Pilot Program provides hands-on assistance to participating Tribal libraries in all aspects of applying for and receiving E-Rate support during the upcoming funding year. This includes sharing information about program rules and requirements, providing training on how to use the E-Rate Productivity Center (EPC), and walking through the competitive bidding and application processes. The pilot will also support participants during the invoicing and other post-commitment processes, including the service confirmation, the Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA) certification, or service substitution requests.

Expanded E-Rate Tribal Library Eligibility
Tribal college and university (TCU) libraries are eligible for E-Rate funding if they also serve as public libraries for their community and meet the E-Rate definition of a library – specifically having regularly scheduled hours, staff, and materials for library users. On July 20, 2023, the FCC adopted a  Report and Order<https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001CqjQ9oB9jZYe5lvRwk4E_GDID10Ps2oqnzO_ss2gEe4iLBYwUb9kj3jsEujm55-YJ8e8riKvNr4EJgXC5_8NKAs4Z4o1tByTtVRnHaxF2s8ZqFygEAnxsAE6KroA2nVn7_2ZskG8oJOEaJmnhMgr1ker_EBMN5KTtdpFzIDDw0o7sus4OuXw3XUK7yIwXoUhvZPw3l7DllAspHRWhPAoPJ050N3SAueQ31GWPK8FKPSAQESoxqAlkvPmexCbby8eJ1-WSJ3UJ8yRYU72iCXJK9AyJQvQMeNR_mSkrgTL3e7-Is8Wd9PdmyiNN43uaQSl&c=ZoPNCDBncOy_dFAzPWLdKbHOwmF6RgvNA8jI9kJ57jzw7En6lTf9Dw==&ch=7QNxHVeNFRiQ00Ca09CJg7tvlouDqPdyGTDUuhud0_tYUQXRga-QmQ==> amending program rules to enhance TCU applicants’ access to the E-Rate program.
