In a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking released today, the FCC said the purpose of the proposed relaxed field test requirements is to materially reduce the regulatory, compliance and financial burdens on the more than 1900 AM stations, (40% of all AM stations), that operate directionally during either daytime or nighttime hours. The Commission said the reduced requirements would not jeopardize its ability to maintain the technical integrity of the AM broadcast service. Directional antennas are utilized to control interference between stations and to assure adequate community coverage. Today's Notice is the latest in a series of Commission orders and notices to streamline broadcast policies and licensing procedures. Previously the Commission adopted an Order that provided for electronic filing of applications and introduced simpler certificationbased application forms. The Commission also has a pending proceeding to change its technical rules to provide more flexibility to both AM and FM broadcasters. Today's Notice proposes substantial reductions in the "proofs of performance" tests AM operators are required to make to verify that their directional antennas are operating as required. For stations required to undertake "full proof" measurements to establish the shape of its directional antenna radiation patterns, the verification requirements would be reduced from 30 measurement points in each of 8 radials (240 measurements) to a minimum of 15 measurement points in each of 6 radials (90 measurements). The minimum length of the radial would be reduced from 34 to 15 km, which would eliminate those measurements most subject to seasonal variations.   "!,,#,#| | "ԌFor stations required to undertake "partial proof" measurements, triggered by an indication that the antenna system is not operating properly, the number of field strength measurements within 316 kilometers would be reduced from 10 to 8 points per radial. The Commission is also proposing to eliminate partial proof measurement requirements following replacement or modification of sampling system components, provided, among other conditions, that the new components are mounted in the exact location of the old components. Other modifications proposed in today's NPRM include: * Delete the required use of base current ammeters; * Substantially reduce required technical specifications for antenna monitors; * Discontinue reliance on petitions and objections as a means of identifying critical antenna arrays; * Categorically exclude two and three tower antenna systems, as well as daytime systems, from being classified as critical arrays; and * Discontinue requiring specially built expensive precision monitors for critical antenna systems. The Commission declined to propose, as had been suggested, to eliminate altogether the requirement for proofs of performance for directional antenna systems adjusted pursuant to computer modeling programs. It said it had concerns that computer modeling methodology might not always limit radiation in critical directions toward other stations, and that such a procedure could draw the Commission into controversial issues relating to the adequacy of adjustment programs and procedures which could lead to delays in authorizing new service.
