CHAPTER I--FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION (CONTINUED)
PART 74_EXPERIMENTAL RADIO, AUXILIARY, SPECIAL BROADCAST AND OTHER PROGRAM
Subpart L_FM Broadcast Translator Stations and FM Broadcast Booster
Stations
Sec. 74.1201 Definitions.
Source: 35 FR 15388, Oct. 2, 1970, unless otherwise noted.
(a) FM translator. A station in the broadcasting service operated
for the purpose of retransmitting the signals of an FM radio broadcast
station or another FM broadcast translator station without significantly
altering any characteristics of the incoming signal other than its
frequency and amplitude, in order to provide FM broadcast service to the
general public.
(b) Commercial FM translator. An FM broadcast translator station
which rebroadcasts the signals of a commercial FM radio broadcast
station.
(c) Noncommercial FM translator. An FM broadcast translator station
which rebroadcasts the signals of a noncommercial educational FM radio
broadcast station.
(d) Primary station. The FM radio broadcast station radiating the
signals which are retransmitted by an FM broadcast translator station or
an FM broadcast booster station.
(e) FM radio broadcast station. When used in this Subpart L, the
term FM broadcast station or FM radio broadcast station refers to
commercial and noncommercial educational FM radio broadcast stations as
defined in Sec. 2.1 of this chapter, unless the context indicates
otherwise.
(f) FM broadcast booster station. A station in the broadcasting
service operated for the sole purpose of retransmitting the signals of
an FM radio broadcast station, by amplifying and reradiating such
signals, without significantly altering any characteristic of the
incoming signal other than its amplitude.
(g) Translator coverage contour. The coverage contour for an FM
translator

providing ``fill-in'' service is congruent with its parent station: For
a fill-in translator for a commercial Class B station it is the
predicted 0.5 mV/m field strength contour; for a fill-in translator for
a commercial Cass B1 station it is the predicted 0.7 mV/m field strength
contour; and for a fill-in translator for all other classes of
commercial stations as well as all noncommercial educational stations it
is the predicted 1 mV/m field strength contour. A fill-in FM
translator's coverage contour must be contained within the primary
station's coverage contour. The protected contour for an FM translator
station is its predicted 1 mV/m contour.
(h) Fill-in area. The area where the coverage contour of an FM
translator or booster station is within the protected contour of the
associated primary station (i.e., predicted 0.5 mV/m contour for
commercial Class B stations, predicted 0.7 mV/m contour for commercial
Class B1 stations, and predicted 1 mV/m contour for all other classes of
stations).
(i) Other area. The area where the coverage contour of an FM
translator station extends beyond the protected contour of the primary
station (i.e., predicted 0.5 mV/m contour for commercial Class B
stations, predicted 0.7 mV/m contour for commercial Class B1 stations,
and predicted 1 mV/m contour for all other classes of stations).
