Sec. 74.734  Attended and unattended operation.

    (a) Low power TV, TV translator, and TV booster stations may be 
operated without a designated person in attendance if the following 
requirements are met:
    (1) If the transmitter site cannot be promptly reached at all hours 
and in all seasons, means shall be provided so that the transmitting 
apparatus can be turned on and off at will from a point that readily is 
accessible at all hours and in all seasons.

[[Page 437]]

    (2) The transmitter also shall be equipped with suitable automatic 
circuits that will place it in a nonradiating condition in the absence 
of a signal on the input channel or circuit.
    (3) The transmitting and the ON/OFF control, if at a location other 
than the transmitter site, shall be adequately protected against 
tampering by unauthorized persons.
    (4) The FCC shall be supplied with the name, address, and telephone 
number of a person or persons who may be called to secure suspension of 
operation of the transmitter promptly should such action be deemed 
necessary by the FCC. Such information shall be kept current by the 
licensee.
    (5) In cases where the antenna and supporting structure are 
considered to be a hazard to air navigation and are required to be 
painted and lighted under the provisions of part 17 of the Rules, the 
licensee shall make suitable arrangements for the daily observations, 
when required, and lighting equipment inspections required by 
Secs. 17.37 and 17.38 of the FCC rules.
    (b) An application for authority to construct a new low power TV 
station (when rebroadcasting the programs of another station) or TV 
translator station or to make changes in the facilities of an authorized 
station, and that proposes unattended operation, shall include an 
adequate showing as to the manner of compliance with this section.
