You excluded one word on subparagraph (a)(2) and the rest of the paragraph if read in whole:
(b) Only local applicants will be permitted to submit applications and to hold authorizations in the LPFM service. For the purposes of this paragraph, an organization will be deemed local if it can certify at the time of application, that it meets the criteria listed below and if it continues to satisfy the criteria at all times thereafter. For the purposes of this paragraph, an applicant will be deemed local if it can certify that:
(1) The applicant, its local chapter or branch is physically headquartered or has a campus within 16.1 km (10 miles) of the proposed site for the transmitting antenna for applicants in the top 50 urban markets, and 32.1 km (20 miles) for applicants outside of the top 50 urban markets;
(2) It has 75% of its board members residing within 16.1 km (10 miles) of the proposed site for the transmitting antenna for applicants in the top 50 urban markets, and 32.1 km (20 miles) for applicants outside of the top 50 urban markets; or
(3) In the case of any applicant proposing a public safety radio service, the applicant has jurisdiction within the service area of the proposed LPFM station.
(4) In the case of a Tribal Applicant, as defined in paragraph (c) of this section, the Tribal Applicant’s Tribal lands, as that term is defined in Section 73.7000 of this Part, are within the service area of the proposed LPFM station.
They key word is "or". The localism rule is either a headquarters/campus or 75% of the board within 10/20 miles. It does not have to be both. This is one of the most common myths of LPFM.
It is also a common myth that applicant corporations must be two years old to apply. This article describes and debunks both myths:

"or" too bad it's that.
KFFI-LP will still get clobbered by the co-channel translator for KTRP Notus.
