§  73.762   Time of operation.

   (a) All international broadcasting stations shall operate in accordance
   with the times indicated on their seasonal schedules.

   (b) In the event that causes beyond a licensee's control make it
   impossible to adhere to the seasonal schedule or to continue operating,
   the station may limit or discontinue operation for a period of not more
   than 10 days, without further authority from the FCC. However, in such
   cases, the FCC shall be immediately notified in writing of such
   limitation or discontinuance of operation and shall subsequently be
   notified when the station resumes regular operation.

   (c) In the event that causes beyond a licensee's control make it
   impossible to adhere to the seasonal schedule or to continue operating
   for a temporary period of more than 10 days, the station may not limit
   or discontinue operation until it requests and receives specific
   authority to do so from the FCC. When the station subsequently resumes
   regular operation after such limited operation or discontinuance of
   operation, it shall notify the FCC in Washington, DC. The license of a
   broadcasting station that fails to transmit broadcast signals for any
   consecutive 12-month period expires as a matter of law at the end of
   that period, notwithstanding any provision, term, or condition of the
   license to the contrary.
