That is correct, if the ID is aural. There are two ways to ID an FM translator:

1) Aurally, over-the-air, three times each day:
      a) Between 7 AM and 9 AM,
      b) Between 12:55 PM and 1:05 PM, and
      c) Between 4 PM and 6 PM

2) By Morse code hourly, by one of two methods:
      a) Frequency-shift-keying the carrier, or
      b) Amplitude modulating the carrier
