What are the FCC requirements regarding leakage monitoring?

The FCC requirements regarding leakage monitoring specify that licensees must conduct quarterly monitoring of their systems for any sign of leakage. This is essential for ensuring compliance with regulations designed to minimize interference and maintain signal integrity. Additionally, the findings from these quarterly monitoring efforts need to be summarized and reported annually. This system of monitoring and reporting helps to ensure that any potential issues are identified and addressed in a timely manner, safeguarding the communication infrastructure and reducing the risk of service disruptions.

This framework balances the frequency of monitoring with the practicality of reporting, allowing operators to maintain oversight while also managing operational resources effectively.
