Instrument of authorization

The United States Federal Communications Commission uses the term instrument of authorization with its broadcast licensees. It may refer to:

  • Any license or permit issued
  • Information relating to items on the station license
  • Copies of the original documents

In most cases, licensees are required to post the instrument of authorization at the primary point of control.[1] The public is permitted to see such authorizations and licensees are required to give the public access to those documents.[2]
