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. Furthermore, a licensee must send a 
written request to the FCC if causes beyond the control of the licensee 
prevent restoration of normal operations within 30 days. The FCC staff 
use the data 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.
