§ 73.878 Station inspections by FCC; availability to FCC of station logs and
records.
(a) The licensee of a broadcast station shall make the station available for
inspection by representatives of the FCC during the station's business
hours, and at any time it is in operation. In the course of an inspection or
investigation, an FCC representative may require special equipment or
program tests.
(b) Station records and logs shall be made available for inspection or
duplication at the request of the FCC or its representatives. Such logs or
records may be removed from the licensee's possession by an FCC
representative or, upon request, shall be mailed by the licensee to the FCC
by either registered mail, return receipt requested, or certified mail,
return receipt requested. The return receipt shall be retained by the
licensee as part of the station records until such records or logs are
returned to the licensee. A receipt shall be furnished when the logs or
records are removed from the licensee's possession by an FCC representative
and this receipt shall be retained by the licensee as part of the station
records until such records or logs are returned to the licensee. When the
FCC has no further need for such records or logs, they shall be returned to
the licensee. The provisions of this rule shall apply solely to those
station logs and records that are required to be maintained by the
provisions of this part.
(1) Where records or logs are maintained as the official records of a
recognized law enforcement agency and the removal of the records from the
possession of the law enforcement agency will hinder its law enforcement
activities, such records will not be removed pursuant to this section if the
chief of the law enforcement agency promptly certifies in writing to the FCC
that removal of the logs or records will hinder law enforcement activities
of the agency, stating insofar as feasible the basis for his decision and
the date when it can reasonably be expected that such records will be
released to the FCC.
