What Conditions apply to the use of the extraordinary form of Mass?
Since the 1962 Missal was never abrogated, the rules for its use are largely the same as for the newer Missal. Any qualified priest may say the extraordinary form privately, and the faithful may attend this private Mass (SP, Art. 2, 4, 5.4). The pastor of a parish may add the extraordinary form to the parish schedule, and the bishop may establish parishes or appoint chaplains devoted to its use (SP, Art. 5, 10).
