    Needs and Uses: The Alternative Broadcast Inspection Program (ABIP) 
is a series of agreements between the Federal Communications 
Commission's (FCC) Enforcement Bureau and a private entity, usually a 
state broadcast association, whereby the private entity agrees to 
facilitate inspections (and re-inspections, where appropriate) of 
participating broadcast stations to determine station compliance with 
FCC regulations. Broadcast stations participate in ABIP on a voluntary 
basis. The private entities notify their local FCC District Office or 
Resident Agent Office in writing of those stations that pass the ABIP 
inspection and have been issued a Certificate of Compliance by the ABIP 
inspector. The FCC uses this information to determine which broadcast 
stations have been certified in compliance with FCC Rules and will not 
be subject to certain random FCC inspections.
