Sec.  97.27  FCC modification of station license grant.



    (a) The FCC may modify a station license grant, either for a limited 

time or for the duration of the term thereof, if it determines:

    (1) That such action will promote the public interest, convenience, 

and necessity; or

    (2) That such action will promote fuller compliance with the 

provisions of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, or of any 

treaty ratified by the United States.

    (b) When the FCC makes such a determination, it will issue an order 

of modification. The order will not become final until the licensee is 

notified in writing of the proposed action and the grounds and reasons 

therefor. The licensee will be given reasonable opportunity of no less 

than 30 days to protest the modification; except that, where safety of 

life or property is involved, a shorter period of notice may be 

provided. Any protest by a licensee of an FCC order of modification will 

be handled in accordance with the provisions of 47 U.S.C. 316.
