[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version="4.25.0" _module_preset="default" locked="off" global_colors_info="{}"]KAB has contracted with an independent inspector who will do an FCC inspection of your station(s). If no problems are found to exist, KAB will report compliance to the FCC Kansas City Office and issue you a Certificate of Compliance.If problems exist, the inspector will provide you with a confidential report outlining any problems or FCC violations. You correct the problems to the inspector’s satisfaction and KAB will notify the FCC of your compliance and provide you with a Certificate of Compliance.The FCC then agrees NOT to perform a random inspection on your station for a period of TWO TO THREE YEARS.[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type="1_2" _builder_version="4.24.3" _module_preset="default" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_image src="https://2026.kab.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/broadcast-4-1004×1024.png" title_text="broadcast" _builder_version="4.25.0" _module_preset="default" custom_margin_tablet="" custom_margin_phone="30px||||false|false" custom_margin_last_edited="on|phone" hover_enabled="0" global_colors_info="{}" sticky_enabled="0"][/et_pb_image][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built="1" custom_padding_last_edited="on|phone" _builder_version="4.25.0" _module_preset="default" background_enable_image="off" custom_padding="0px||90px||false|false" custom_padding_tablet="0px||90px||false|false" custom_padding_phone="40px||40px||false|false" custom_css_before="content:%22%22;||position:absolute;||background-image:url('/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/cropped-blue-shapes-accent.png');||width:132px;||height:445px;||right:0;||top:150px;" locked="off" global_colors_info="{}" custom_css_before_last_edited="on|phone" custom_css_before_tablet="content:%22%22;||position:absolute;||background-image:url('/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/cropped-blue-shapes-accent.png');||background-size:cover;||background-repeat:no-repeat;||width:80px;||height:300px;||right:0;||top:50px;" custom_css_before_phone="content:%22%22;||position:absolute;||background-image:url('/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/cropped-blue-shapes-accent.png');||background-size:cover;||background-repeat:no-repeat;||width:30px;||height:120px;||right:0;||top:50px;"][et_pb_row column_structure="1_2,1_2" custom_padding_last_edited="on|phone" _builder_version="4.25.0" _module_preset="default" custom_padding_tablet="" custom_padding_phone="0px||0px||false|false" global_colors_info="{}" custom_css_main_element_last_edited="on|phone" custom_css_main_element_phone="display:flex;||flex-direction:column-reverse;"][et_pb_column type="1_2" _builder_version="4.25.0" _module_preset="default" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_image src="https://2026.kab.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/broadcast-1004×1024.png" title_text="broadcast" _builder_version="4.25.0" _module_preset="default" custom_margin_tablet="" custom_margin_phone="30px||||false|false" custom_margin_last_edited="on|phone" hover_enabled="0" global_colors_info="{}" sticky_enabled="0"][/et_pb_image][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type="1_2" _builder_version="4.25.0" _module_preset="default" custom_padding="80px||||false|false" custom_padding_tablet="0px||||false|false" custom_padding_phone="0px||||false|false" custom_padding_last_edited="on|phone" global_colors_info="{}"][et_pb_text _builder_version="4.25.0" _module_preset="default" header_2_text_color="#00285A" header_2_font_size="40px" header_2_line_height="1.2em" custom_margin="||10px||false|false" header_2_font_size_tablet="40px" header_2_font_size_phone="30px" header_2_font_size_last_edited="on|phone" global_colors_info="{}"]The Procedure
