Summary

Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications Ordinance No. 90 of 2026 amends the Basic Standards for Establishing Radio Stations (Excluding Core Broadcasting Stations) and related rules. The listing identifies the Radio Station Operation Regulations (Radio Regulatory Commission Rule No. 17 of 1950) as an amended instrument and gives both the promulgation and effective dates as 2026-07-23.

Business Impact

Radio station operators may be affected by changes to the Radio Station Operation Regulations; the amending ordinance's title also concerns establishment standards for radio stations excluding core broadcasting stations. The metadata does not identify the specific operational or establishment requirements changed.

Recommended Action

Review of the official Japanese ordinance and amended Radio Station Operation Regulations could clarify the affected provisions and the scope of the changes effective on 2026-07-23.
