{"abstract":"In this document, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC or Commission) eliminates rules that require certain broadcast and cable entities to maintain paper copies of the Commission's regulations. As set forth below, we conclude that eliminating these requirements, which apply to low power TV, TV and FM translators, TV and FM booster stations, cable television relay station (CARS) licensees, and certain cable operators, will advance the Commission's goal of reducing outdated regulations and unnecessary regulatory burdens that can impede competition and innovation in media markets.","action":"Final rule.","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"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2018/03/30/2018-06029.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":74,"title":47},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":76,"title":47},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":78,"title":47}],"citation":"83 FR 13679","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Effective March 30, 2018.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["MB Docket No. 17-231","FCC 18-16"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"2018-06029","effective_on":"2018-03-30","end_page":13684,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2018/03/30/2018-06029.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2018/03/30/2018-06029/maintenance-of-copies-of-fcc-rules","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2018-06029?publication_date=2018-03-30","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2018-03-30/2018-06029/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":6,"page_views":{"count":388,"last_updated":"2026-10-23 02:15:04 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2018-03-30/pdf/2018-06029.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2018-06029.pdf?1522327519","publication_date":"2018-03-30","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2018/03/30/2018-06029.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{},"regulation_id_numbers":[],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2018-04-19T10:00:15Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":13679,"subtype":null,"title":"Maintenance of Copies of FCC Rules","toc_doc":"Maintenance of Copies of FCC Rules","toc_subject":null,"topics":["Administrative practice and procedure","Cable television","Education","Radio","Reporting and recordkeeping requirements","Television"],"type":"Rule","volume":83}
