WASHINGTON, D.C.—The FCC has issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking seeking comments on the rules it is proposing for the implementation of the Low Power Protection Act (LPPA), which was signed into law by President Biden in January.
U.S. Senators Roy Blunt (Mo.) and Ron Wyden (Ore.) introduced the Low Power Protection Act to strengthen spectrum rights for certain low power television (LPTV) stations. It requires the FCC to open a new filing window during which qualifying LPTV stations could apply for and receive Class A status that would protect LPTV stations from being bumped off-air by harmful interference.
