'In a decision issued last week , the FCC ruled on 6 applications for LPFM stations from the last LPFM window, dismissing all of them, and warning potential applicants in the upcoming LPFM window to pay attention to the decision so that they can avoid similar issues with their applications. The dismissal of four applicants was the result of those applicants not being legally registered as nonprofit corporations in their states at the time of the FCC filing of their FCC applications.
On August 21, CCCL released a new white paper that evaluates the legal workability and constitutionality of regulating imports into the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, or “RGGI” (for background on RGGI, the Northeastern states’ cap-and-trade program for carbon dioxide, see prior posts ). RGGI is currently in an exciting period of reform. In February 2013, participating states announced plans to lower RGGI’s cap on carbon dioxide emissions by 45% in 2014.
In law, the procedure of requesting that a formal change be made to an official decision is termed as an appeal. In a broad sense, there are two types of appeals that are common in the process. A paralegal?s role in litigation, particularly in the appellate process can be broadly classified in three categories. They are.
'The FCC has just issued a Public Notice announcing that all Regulatory Fees will be due on or before September 20. The FCC Website on the fees, where broadcasters can look up the fees owned for each of their stations, is now live. That page gives the September 20 deadline. The main fee webpage can be found here: [link]. Broadcasters can look up the fees for their specific stations on a webpage that is linked to from the main fee page.

With innovative, AI-powered contract data analytics, you can solve the mystery of trends faster and with greater accuracy, making informed decisions base
'No one ever claimed that music royalties are easy to understand, especially in the digital age when nice, neat definitions that had grown up over many years in the physical world no longer necessarily make sense. The complexity of the world of digital music licensing is clear from many sources, but the Commerce Department’s “Green Paper” on Copyright Policy, Creativity, and Innovation in the Digital Economy does a good job discussing many of the music royalty issues that have
'The rules for determining when construction of a new tower may cause a distortion of the pattern of a nearby AM station , and when the party building the new tower has a financial obligation to remedy any interference caused , were clarified by the Commission in an order released late last week. The order makes clear that all towers used by FCC licensees must abide by these rules, putting into formal rules the existing general obligation that all “ newcomers” that create interferenc

'The FCC has finalized its regulatory fees for this year, though they have not announced the actual filing date , other than to say that the fees will be paid during a window to be announced sometime in September. In the Order announcing the new fees , in addition to setting the fees (which represent an increase for broadcasters of approximately 3.5% over past years), the FCC addressed several issues that it had raised in its Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on the fees, about which we wrote here.
A pleading, in legal terms, is used to explain the purpose of the documents that contain the claims or defense filed by the parties with the court. In layman?s terminology, it is a formal statement that sets out the issues that have to be tried. These are short and plain statements that set the grounds upon which a party has a basis to the claim.
'The FCC has just announced that the Form 323 Biennial Ownership Reports for commercial broadcasters, due to be filed on or before November 1 of this year, will now be due instead by December 2. This is the third straight time that the obligation to file these reports has been extended, due to the complexity and confusion that surrounds the completion of the information that is required on the form.
'In a lawsuit filed last week (see the complaint here ), Flo and Eddie, the artists who were behind the 1960''s band The Turtles, claim that Sirius XM has infringed on the copyrights in their songs by allowing copies of these recordings to be made by the satellite radio service and in certain Internet offerings that Sirius XM makes available. The article in THR.esq (the Hollywood Reporter''s legal blog) that first announced the lawsuit talks much about the ambiguous status of pre-1972 sound reco

Artificial intelligence is reshaping the legal industry, and paralegals are at the forefront of this transformation. As AI becomes more integrated into legal workflows, paralegals can streamline their daily tasks, enhance efficiency, and add greater value to their firms and organizations. But what exactly does AI mean for paralegals today—and how can you leverage it to your advantage?
'Another month is upon us, along with all of the FCC regulatory obligations that accompany it. August brings a host of license renewal obligations , along with EEO public file obligations in a number of states, as well as noncommercial Biennial Ownership Report filings in several states. We also expect that the FCC will notify stations of the date for the payment of their regulatory fees (which will either be due late this month or early next).
