KAB/FCC Alternative Inspection Program
KAB/FCC Alternative Inspection Program
The KAB/FCC Alternative Broadcast Inspection Program is a cooperative program of the Kansas Association of Broadcasters and the Federal Communications Commission Enforcement Bureau.
Review KAB's agreement with the FCC
.
The Program
The Kansas Association of Broadcasters, in cooperation with the Federal Communications Commission, provides a service to the broadcasters of Kansas to assist them in FCC compliance, and to provide for a three-year exemption from routine FCC inspections.
Here is how it works...
• KAB has contracted with an independent inspector who will do an FCC inspection of your station(s). If no problems are found to exist, KAB will report compliance to the FCC Kansas City Office and issue you a Certificate of Compliance.
• If problems exist, the inspector will provide you with a confidential report outlining any problems or FCC violations. You correct the problems to the inspector's satisfaction and KAB will notify the FCC of your compliance and provide you with a Certificate of Compliance.
• The FCC then agrees NOT to perform a random inspection on your station for a period of THREE YEARS.
The Procedure
Complete the Request for Inspection Agreement and send it to the KAB with the appropriate inspection fee. An inspection will occur soon after receipt of your request. The inspector will call to schedule a time.
The Cost
The fee to participate in the KAB's Alternative Inspection Program is designed to be affordable to everyone. In addition to the inspection fee payable to the KAB, each station agrees to pay the travel expenses for the inspector. Mileage will be charged at the federal rate (cents per mile) and hotel and meal charges will be billed at actual cost. When the inspector visits more than one station in an area, the expenses will be divided among the participating stations in the area.
Fees (Non-Members ADD 50%)
Single, non-directional AM station: $250
Directional AM - 5 monitoring pts: $425 plus $25 for each additional monitoring point above 5
Single FM: $250
AM/FM combo with AM non-directional: $350
AM/FM combo with AM directional - 5 montoring points: $500, plus $25 for each additional monitoring point above 5

Television station: $400 (Duopoly in same market - $600, then $200 for each station after 2)
Re-inspection: 50% of original fee plus travel expenses; except if non-compliance involves AM directional system, which will be the full fee
