requires a construction permit, the file number of the application shall be given, or if a file number has not been assigned by the Commission, such identification as will permit of ready reference. If the notice of violation relates to some lack of attention or improper operation of the transmitter, the name and license number of the operator in charge shall be given. a. Broadcast station licenses will be issued for a normal license period of 6 months. BROADCAST SERVICE The band of frequencies extending from 550 to 1,500 kilocycles, both inclusive, is allocated for use by broadcast stations. This band of frequencies is referred to herein as the "broadcast band." CLASSES OF BROADCAST STATIONS For the purposes of allocation of frequencies, power, and time of operation, broadcast stations are classified as follows: A. FREQUENCY AND POWER DESIGNATIONS a. Clear channel. b. High power regional. c. Regional. d. Local. B. TIME DESIGNATION a. Unlimited time. b. Limited time. c. Daytime. d. Sharing time. e. Part time. f. Specified hours. SPECIAL BROADCAST STATIONS (a) The following frequencies are allocated for assignment to special broadcast stations on an experimental basis : 1530, 1550 and 1570 kilocycles. Two or more stations may be licensed for simultaneous operation on each frequency. (b) Licenses for special broadcast stations will be issued only after a satisfactory showing has been made in regard to the following, among others: 1. That the applicant has a program of research and experimentation which indicates reasonable promise of substantial contribution to the development and practical application of high fidelity broadcasting, and will be in addition to and advancement of the work done by regular broadcast stations. 2. That the program of research and experimentation includes a thorough study of advanced antenna design, field intensity surveys and plans for a comprehensive analysis of the response of listeners. 3. That the transmitter and all stu dios will be equipped so as to be capable of high fidelity transmission. 4. That the operation and experimentation will be under the direct supervision of a qualified engineer with an adequate staff of engineers qualified to carry on the program of research and experimentation. 5. That the programs transmitted, either sponsored or sustaining, will not interfere with the proper prosecution of the program of research and experimentation. 6. That the applicant is legally and financially qualified and possesses adequate technical facilities to carry forward the program of research and experimentation. 7.

That the public interest, convenience and necessity will be served through the operation of the proposed station. (c) The Commission may require from time to time a licensee of a special broadcast station to conduct experiments that are deemed desirable and reasonable for the development of the service. (d) The program of research and experimentation as offered in compliance with the requirements of obtaining a license for a special broadcast station, shall be adhered to in the main unless the licensee is authorized to do otherwise by the Commission. (e) The authorized power of a special broadcast station will not exceed 1 kilowatt. However, the licensee may operate at less than the authorized power where such operation facilitates experimentation. (f ) The licensee of a special broadcast station is not required to adhere to a regular schedule, but shall actively conduct a program of research and experimentation or transmission of programs. (g) A supplemental report shall be filed with and made a part of each application for a renewal of license of a special broadcast station and shall include statements of the following in the order designated: 1. Comprehensive summary of all research and experimentation conducted. 2. Conclusions and outline of proposed program for further research and development. 3. Number of hours operated, including percentage of sponsored programs. 402
