What changed

The FCC deleted Item 6 from the March 26, 2026 Open Meeting agenda. The item would have addressed updates to broadcast radio and television station rules under Parts 1, 73, 74, and 76 of the Commission's Rules to modernize application processing requirements and remove references to outdated procedures. MB Docket No. 24-626 and GN Docket No. 25-133 are the relevant proceedings.

No immediate action is required by regulated entities. This notice is purely procedural—it documents that a previously announced agenda item was removed from the Open Meeting. The underlying broadcast rulemaking proceedings may continue separately or be rescheduled for a future meeting. Regulated parties should monitor MB Docket No. 24-626 and GN Docket No. 25-133 for further developments.
