Brazil to extend FM broadcast band

The FM Radio Data System (RDS) site reports that some countries are
planning to extend the FM broadcast band

It appears that Brazil intends to extend it down to 76 MHz while
Beijing is considering a lower limit of 64 MHz.

The RDS post says:
Question about FM Band extension in Brazil and elsewhere: On a
question raised by one of the Forum members, the Brazilian regulator
ANATEL was contacted, who confirmed the planned extension of the FM
band down to 76 MHz. This was in fact agreed already. It was remarked
that there will be a problem with RDS then in the range 76-87.5 MHz,
with no AF codes being defined for that range. With RDS 2.0 this
problem could be solved however. It was also remarked that China plans
to use FM radio down to 64 MHz, a matter also to be followed up for
RDS 2.0.
