The Commission also reinterprets the application to permit noncommercial educational stations (NCEs) to devote the substantial majority of their spectrum not just to free over-the-air television but also ancillary and supplementary services; lowers the ancillary and supplementary service fee for certain NCE services; and clarifies that NCEs may offer limited Broadcast internet services to donors without transforming those donations into feeable ancillary and supplementary service revenue.","document_number":"2020-28615","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2021/02/23/2020-28615/promoting-broadcast-internet-innovation-through-atsc-30","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2021-02-23/pdf/2020-28615.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2020-28615.pdf?1614001516","publication_date":"2021-02-23","agencies":[{"raw_name":"FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION","name":"Federal Communications Commission","id":161,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/federal-communications-commission","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/161","parent_id":null,"slug":"federal-communications-commission"}],"excerpts":"Governmental Affairs Bureau at (202) 418-0530 (voice), (202) 418-0432 (TTY).\n \n Synopsis \n \n 1.
