Sec. 74.16  Temporary extension of station licenses.

    Where there is pending before the Commission any application, 
investigation, or proceeding which, after hearing, might lead to or make 
necessary the modification of, revocation of, or the refusal to renew an 
existing auxiliary or experimental broadcast station license or a 
television broadcast translator station license, the Commission in its 
discretion, may grant a temorary extension of such license: Provided, 
however, That no such temporary extension shall be construed as a 
finding by the Commission that the operation of any radio station 
thereunder will serve public interest, convenience, and necessity beyond 
the express terms of such temporary extension of license: And provided 
further, That such temporary extension of license will in no wise affect 
or limit the action of the Commission with respect to any pending 
application or proceeding.
