chanical record used, i.e., where a transcription is used it shall be announced as a "transcription" or an "electrical transcription" and where a phonograph is used it shall be announced as a "record." Rebroadcast Programs (a) The term "rebroadcast" means reception by radio of the program of a radio station, and the simultaneous or subsequent retransmission of such program by a broadcast station. (In case a program is transmitted from its point of origin to a broadcast station entirely by telephone facilities in which a section of such transmission is by radio ,the broadcasting of this program is not considered a rebroadcast.) (b) The licensee of a standard broadcast station may, without further authority of the Commission, rebroadcast the program of a United States standard broadcast station, provided the Commission is notified of the call letters of each station rebroadcast and the licensee certifies that express authority has been received from the licensee of the station originating the program. (The notice and certification of consent shall be given within three (3) days of any single rebroadcast, but in case of the regular practice of rebroadcasting certain programs of a standard broadcast station several times during a license period, notice and certification of consent shall be given for the ensuing license period with the application for renewal of license, or at the beginning of such rebroadcast practice if begun during a license period). (c) The licensee of a standard broadcast station may, without further authority of the Commission, rebroadcast a noncommercial program of an international broadcast station, provided the Commission is notified of the call letters of each station rebroadcast and the licensee certifies that express authority has been received from the licensee of the station originating the program. (d) No licensee of a standard broadcast station shall rebroadcast the program of any other class of United States radio station without written authority having first been obtained from the Commission upon application accompanied by written consent or certification of consent of the licensee of the station originating the program. (e) In case of a program rebroadcast by several standard broadcast stations such as a chain rebroadcast, the person legally responsible for distributing the program or the network facilities may obtain the necessary authorization for the entire rebroadcast both from the Commission and from the person or licensee of station originating program. Attention is directed to Section 325 (b) of the Communications Act of 1934, which reads as follows: "No person shall be permitted to locate, use or maintain a radio broadcast studio or other place or apparatus from which or whereby sound waves are converted into electrical energy, or mechanical or physical reproduction of sound waves produced, and caused to be transmitted or delivered to a radio station in a foreign country for the purpose of being broadcast from any radio station there having a power output of sufficient intensity and/or being so located geographically that its emissions may be received consistently in the United States, without first obtaining a permit from the Commission upon proper application thereof." Political Broadcasting No station licensee is required to permit the use of its facilities by any legally qualified candidate for public office, but if any licensee shall permit any such candidate to use its facilities, it shall afford equal opportunities to all other such candidates for that office to use such facilities, provided that such licensee shall have no power of censorship over the material broadcast by any such candidate. The following definitions shall apply for the purpose of this rule: a. 'A legally qualified candidate' means any person who has met all the requirements prescribed by local, state or federal authority, as a candidate for the office which he seeks, whether it be municipal, county, state or national, to be determined according to the applicable local laws. b. 'Other candidates for that office' means all other legally qualified candidates for the same public office. The rates, if any, charged all such candidates for the same office, shall be uniform and shall not be rebated by any means, directly or indirectly; no licensee shall make any discriminations in charges, practices, regulations, facilities or services for or in connection with service rendered pursuant to these rules, or make or give any preference to any candidate for public office or subject any such candidate to any prejudice or disadvantage; nor shall any licensee make any contract or other agreement which shall have the effect of permitting any legally qualified candidate for any public office to broadcast to the exclusion of other legally qualified candidates for the same public office. Every licensee shall keep and permit public inspection of a complete record of all requests for broadcast time made by or on behalf of candidates for public office, together with an appropriate notation showing disposition of such requests. 836
