 | | FCC, the court ruled that the Doctrine was not codified as part of the 1959 Amendment to the Communications Act as previously assumed. | | | The United States Federal Communications Commission, created by an act of Congress on 19 June 1934, merged the administrative responsibilities for regulating broadcasting and wired communications under the rubric of one agency. | | | The courts remanded the case back to the commission to determine whether the Doctrine was constitutional and in the public interest. |

| | Federal Communications Commission - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | In 1934 Congress passed the Communications Act, which abolished the Federal Radio Commission and transferred jurisdiction over radio licensing to a new Federal Communications Commission. | | | The Federal Communications Commission has one major regulatory weapon, revoking licenses, but short of that has little leverage over broadcast stations (see FCC MB Docket 04-232). | | | Low-power broadcasting has also been a source of contention, as the FCC has set the power limits on it extremely low, while making it nearly impossible for anyone except large corporations or large nonprofit organizations to obtain a license. |

| | Red Lion v Federal Communications Commission |
| | The Federal Communications Commission has for many years imposed on radio and television broadcasters the requirement that discussion of public issues be presented on broadcast stations, and that each side of those issues must be given fair coverage. | | | It is an obligation whose content has been defined in a long series of FCC rulings in particular cases, and which is distinct from the statutory requirement of § 315 of the Communications Act that equal time be allotted all qualified candidates for public office. | | | A license permits broadcasting, but the licensee has no constitutional right to be the one who holds the license or to monopolize a radio frequency to the exclusion of his fellow citizens. |

| | While a petition for declaratory ruling or waiver is pending with the Commission or a court, the restriction in question may not be enforced unless it is necessary for safety or historic preservation. | | | If a person believes a restriction is preempted, but the local government, community association, or landlord disagrees, either the person or the restricting entity may file a Petition for Declaratory Ruling with the FCC or a court of competent jurisdiction. | | | The local government, community association or landlord requesting the waiver must demonstrate "local concerns of a highly specialized or unusual nature." The petition must also specify the restriction for which the waiver is sought, or the petition will not be considered. |

| | According to FCC rules, you must construct and operate the system for a year before you are permitted to apply to transfer or assign the license. | | | Soon after the Project Roadblock cases were filed, both the Commission and the FCC took further action to stem fraud involving paging licenses. | | | Although the majority of the Commission's cases in the FCC license area have involved application mills, the Commission also has brought cases against build-out telemarketers that sold consumers interests in partnerships that supposedly would operate telecommunications systems using licenses acquired through auction. |
