MONDAY DEADLINE

Stations that intend to shut-off on Feb. 17 must alert the FCC by midnight on Monday, Feb. 9. 

HOW TO NOTIFY FCC

The FCC has prepared a new form for this notification.  The new form does not have a number because it is considered an "informal application."

This application must be filed using the FCC's electronic CDBS system. Once logged into CDBS, the form may be located by clicking on the "additional non-form filings" link.

At that point, the user should select the option for "notification of analog service."

This model was generated from the CDBS system given that the form is not available publicly on the FCC's website at this time.
