pshs services sta.html FCC STA page DEFAULTSORT Special Temporary Authority Category American broadcasting ...unref date April 2009 In U.S. broadcast law , a special temporary authorization or special temporary authority STA is a type of broadcast license which temporarily allows a broadcast station to operate outside of its normal technical or legal parameters. In the Federal Communications Commission FCC station database CDBS , broadcast STA applications have a prefix of BSTA general , BLSTA legal , BESTA engineering , or BLESTA both . STAs can also be issued for other telecommunication services under FCC regulation . Often an STA is necessary due to an unforeseen event. While one is no longer needed to replace a particular transmitter, it is necessary to replace a radio antenna with another one that has different characteristics. STAs are often issued for a particular mode of operation while a full application for a construction permit is pending. Station licensees must exhibit why the STA is necessary and serves the public good . For example, WANN LD has a permit to use an omnidirectional antenna for digital TV , but received an STA to diplex into the same antenna used by analog WANN CA, which has a slightly directional antenna . This obviously served the public good by getting the station on the air earlier before the original full power analog cutoff in June 2009 , than waiting for the new antenna, even though broadcast range coverage is somewhat less in some directions. In some cases, an STA can allow a station to operate at low power, often to avoid losing its broadcast license after a year off the air . The one year limit was written into law by the U.S. Congress , without regard to extenuating circumstances any station might have, after it was determined that a large number of nominally licensed broadcast stations had remained off the air for years, preventing other applicants ... for special events as a Restricted Service Licence is in the U.K. , however this is rare.
