with the timing and carrier level tolerance requirements. If this 
operation at variance is expected to exceed 10 consecutive days, a 
notification must be sent to the FCC. The licensee must also notify the 
FCC upon restoration of normal operations. If causes beyond the control 
of the licensee prevent restoration of normal operations within 30 
days, a written request must be made to the FCC. The data is used by 
FCC staff to maintain accurate and complete technical information about 
a station's operation. In the event that a complaint is received from 
the public regarding a station's operation, this information is 
necessary to provide an accurate response.

Federal Communications Commission.
