When Station Establishment Permit or Station License are lost or ineligible for use due to severe damage, an announcement should be immediately put up on newspapers proclaiming invalidity and report to the authority to re-issue a new permit or license.

When information recorded on the Station Establishment Permit or the Station license has been altered, a report should be made to the authority to re-issue a new permit or license.

Re-issued Station Establishment Permits and Station Licenses based on the two Articles mentioned above have the same validity and expiration period as the original permits and licenses.

The Station Establishment License and Station License is non-transferable nor can be rented or given to a third party.

The over-all engineering technology and facility maintenance is to be carried out by one engineering supervisor appointed by the station, and assisting technicians can be appointed as needed to support for station equipment.
