Needs and Uses: On October 27, 2020, the Commission released the All-Digital AM Broadcasting Report and Order, FCC 20154, MB Dkts. 19311, 13249, where it adopts rules to allow AM radio stations, on a voluntary basis, to broadcast an all-digital signal using the HD radio in-band on-channel IBOC
mode name MA3. This action benefits AM stations and their listeners by improving reception quality and listenable signal coverage in stations service areas and by advancing the Commissions goal of improving the AM
service, thereby helping to ensure the future of the service. AM broadcast station licensees are required to notify the Commission of a change to alldigital operations using Digital Notification Form, FCC Form 335AM.
Specifically pertaining to this Information Collection, in the AllDigital AM Broadcasting Report and Order, the Commission requires AM
broadcast stations to electronically file a digital notification using the existing FCC Form 335AM Digital Notification or any successor notification form to notify the Commission of the following changes: 1 The commencement of new

all-digital operation; 2 an increase in nominal power of an all-digital AM
station; or 3 a transition from core-only to enhanced operating mode. Although we direct broadcasters to use the current Form 335AM for all-digital notifications, additional information is required for notification of AM alldigital operations specifically.
Therefore, until the Form 335AM is updated to display the new all-digital operation requirements, we direct filers to select N/A as appropriate within the form and submit an attachment containing the following information.
These new all-digital AM notification requirements have been added to new section 73.406 of the Commissions rules.
a The type of notification all-digital notification, increase in nominal power, reduction in nominal power, transition from core-only to enhanced, transition from enhanced to core-only, reversion from all-digital to hybrid or analog operation;
b the date that new or modified alldigital operation will commence or has ceased;
c a certification that the all-digital operations will conform to the relevant nominal power and spectral emissions limits;
d the nominal power of the alldigital station;
e a certification that the all-digital station complies with all EAS
requirements; and f if a notification of commencement of new all-digital service or a nominal power change, whether the station is operating in core-only or enhanced mode.
The All-Digital AM Broadcasting Report and Order also revises and reorganizes the digital notification requirements formally contained in section 73.404e of the rules by removing paragraph 73.404e and adding new section 73.406 Notification.
The Notification Requirements Contained Under 47 CFR 73.406 Are as Follows Hybrid AM and FM licensees must electronically file a digital notification to the Commission in Washington, DC, within 10 days of commencing IBOC
digital operation. All-digital licensees must file a digital notification within 10
days of the following changes: 1 Any reduction in nominal power of an alldigital AM station; 2 a transition from enhanced to core-only operating mode;
or 3 a reversion from all-digital to hybrid or analog operation. All-digital licensees will not be permitted to commence operation sooner than 30
calendar days from public notice of
