issued to any qualified individual, organized group of individuals, 
broadcast station licensee, or local civil governmental body.
    (b) More than one low power TV or TV translator station may be

translator stations, for changes in facilities of existing stations, or 
for changes in output channel tendered by displaced stations pursuant to 
Sec. 73.3572(a)(1), when such changes will result in a major change 
until the applicable time for filing a petition to deny has passed 
pursuant to Sec. 73.3584(c).
    (e) A proposal to change the primary TV station being retransmitted 
or an application of a licensed translator station to include low power 
TV station operation, i.e., program origination or subscription service 
will be subject only to a notification requirement.
    (f) Applications for transfer of ownership or control of a low power 
TV or TV translator station will be subject to petitions to deny.

to the licensee or permittee of the television station whose signals the 
booster will rebroadcast, to areas within the Grade B contour of the 
primary station.
    (h) No numerical limit is placed on the number of booster stations 
that may be licensed to a single licensee. A separate license is 
required for each television broadcast booster station.
