            Subpart A_General Rules of Practice and Procedure

 

Sec. 1.6  Availability of station logs and records for Commission 

inspection.



    (a) Station records and logs shall be made available for inspection 

or duplication at the request of the Commission or its representative. 

Such logs or records may be removed from the licensee's possession by a 

Commission representative or, upon request, shall be mailed by the 

licensee to the Commission by either registered mail, return receipt 

requested, or certified mail, return receipt requested. The return 

receipt shall be retained by the licensee as part of the station records 

until such records or logs are returned to the licensee. A receipt shall 

be furnished when the logs or records are removed from the licensee's 

possession by a Commission representative and this receipt shall be 

retained by the licensee as part of the station records until such 

records or logs are returned to the licensee. When the Commission has no 

further need for such records or logs, they shall be returned to the 

licensee. The provisions of this rule shall apply solely to those 

station logs and records which are required to be maintained by the 

provisions of this chapter.

    (b) Where records or logs are maintained as the official records of 

a recognized law enforcement agency and the removal of the records from 

the possession of the law enforcement agency will hinder its law 

enforcement activities, such records will not be removed pursuant to 

this section if the chief of the law enforcement agency promptly 

certifies in writing to the Federal Communications Commission that 

removal of the logs or records will hinder law enforcement activities of 

the agency, stating insofar as feasible the basis for his decision and 

the date when it can reasonably be expected that such records will be 

released to the Federal Communications Commission.
