FM Broadcast Translator Stations and
FM Broadcast Booster Stations
47 CFR Part 74

The FCC itself does not keep a public database of its rule sections. That task is performed by the Government Printing Office for most agencies. These rules and regulations are compiled in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). After October 1 of each year, the GPO compiles all the changes to, additions to, and deletions to the rules and republishes the Code of Federal Regulations with the updates. This page links to the 2008 edition of the CFR. When the 2009 edition is available electronically in spring 2010, this page will be updated

Telecommunications falls under Title 47 of the CFR. FM translator and booster broadcast stations fall under Part 74 of Title 47. Additional rule sections pertaining to radio broadcasting are contained in Parts 0 and 1 of Title 47. We have listed the individual rule sections in Subpart L of Part 74, which pertain to FM translator and booster stations. Click on the TEXT or PDF icon preceding the rule section to retrieve it. Related items on the FCC Web site may be listed in brackets [ ] to the right of the rule title.

Part 73 AM, FM, and TV broadcast station rules are not included here but are contained on a separate rules page.
