Notice to Entities Delinquent in Debt Owed to the FCC
As a reminder, effective November 1, 2004, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)

The new rule, found at 47 C.F.R. ยง1.1910 and commonly referred to as the "red light rule," provides that anyone filing an application or seeking a benefit from the Commission or one of its components who is delinquent in debts owed to the Commission, will be barred from receiving a license or other benefit until the delinquency has been resolved. The Pooling Administrator has been advised by the FCC that the term "other benefit" includes thousands-blocks.
