Summary

Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications Ordinance No. 90 of 2026 amends the Fundamental Standards for Establishing Radio Stations (excluding Core Broadcasting Stations) and other provisions. The update identifies the Regulations for Enforcement of the Radio Act (Radio Regulatory Commission Rules No. 14 of 1950) as the amended instrument and gives both the promulgation and effective dates as 2026-07-23.

Business Impact

Those establishing radio stations other than core broadcasting stations, and operators subject to the Regulations for Enforcement of the Radio Act, may be affected; the metadata does not identify the specific requirements changed.

Recommended Action

Reviewing the official Japanese ordinance and amended regulations would help confirm the affected provisions, their scope, and any transitional arrangements.
