Sec. 73.712 Equipment tests.
(a) During the process of construction of an international broadcasting
station, the permittee, having obtained authorization for frequencies and
hours as set forth in the Note to Sec. 73.702(d) may, without further authority
of the FCC, conduct equipment tests for the purpose of such adjustments and
measurements as may be necessary to assure compliance with the terms of the
construction permit, the technical provisions of the application therefor
and the rules and regulations. Such tests shall use voice identification and
test tones only. No programming shall be conducted during equipment tests.
(b) The Commission may notify the permittee to conduct no tests or may
cancel, suspend, or change the date for the beginning of equipment tests
when and if such action may appear to be in the public interest,
convenience, and necessity.
(c) Equipment tests may be continued so long as the construction permit
shall remain valid: Provided, however, That the procedure set forth in
paragraph (a) of this section must be repeated prior to the conducting of
such tests in each season after the season in which the testing began.
(d) The authorization for tests embodied in this section shall not be
construed as constituting a license to operate but as a necessary part of
construction.
