A grant of the license renewal application is not materially related to the grant of Williamson's major modification application. The pending major modification application is mutually exclusive with several other proposals filed in the AM Auction 84 filing window and will be considered independently under Section 73.3571(h) of the Rules. Should GEMB wish to oppose Williamson's major modification application, it should file an objection in that proceeding in connection with the filing of a Williamson ``long form'' application. 7.

- facilities of SRC's station KTCT(AM), San Mateo, California, should be deemed ``cut off'' from competition with subsequently filed mutually exclusive applications. For the reasons discussed below, we deny the application for review. 2. Background. On August 30, 1996, SRC filed an application seeking to change the nighttime antenna system of KTCT (``KTCT Application''), a minor modification as defined by Section 73.3571(a) of our Rules. At that time, AM minor change applications remained subject to mutually exclusive proposals until the staff disposed of the application. On August 29, 1997, Royce filed an application for a major modification to its construction permit for AM Station KIOQ, Folsom, California (``Royce Application''), seeking to move KIOQ to a new site. The Royce Application and the

- all other AM and FM protection standards, this rule is asymmetrical. It permits a new station or modification applicant to accept the existing level of interference but generally prohibits any such applicant from entering into, i.e., raising, the twenty-five percent limit of any other station. Petitioners are incorrect, however, when they claim that the rules protect only existing ``stations.'' Section 73.3571(h)(4)(iii) requires an applicant to protect previously filed applications and establishes cut-off rights against subsequently filed applications. 10. It is well established that mutual exclusivity arises when grant of one application would preclude grant of a second. In the instant case, the staff analyzed the daytime, critical hours, and nighttime facilities specified in each application against every other application filed in

- ensure that the new station will meet critical safety and informational needs of Rockland County residents. I. BACKGROUND 2. On November 6, 2003, the Media Bureau (``Bureau'') and the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau announced an auction filing window. The window was available for construction permit applications for new AM stations and major modifications to authorized AM facilities, as defined in Section 73.3571(a)(1) of the Commission's Rules. The public notice specifically stated that the window ``will not be available for frequencies in the AM expanded band or for major changes in existing AM expanded band stations,'' citing a previously released February 1, 2002, public notice, which instituted a freeze on the filing of all AM expanded band major change applications. 3.

Section 73.1690 is amended by revising paragraph (b) and adding sub-paragraph (9) to read as follows: 73.1690 Modification of transmission systems. ***** (b) ***** (9) Any change in the community of license, where the proposed new facilities are the same as, or would be mutually exclusive with, the licensee's or permittee's present assignment. 6. Section 73.3571 is amended by revising paragraph (a)(1), and adding new paragraph (j) to read as follows: 73.3571 Processing of AM broadcast station applications. (a) Applications for AM broadcast facilities are divided into three groups. (1) In the first group are applications for new stations or for major changes in the facilities of authorized stations. A major change for an AM

- of LPFM service in numerous areas across the United States. This Second Order addressed technical, operational, and ownership issues necessary for the further development of the service. Licensing Procedures Under Section 73.1695 of the Commission's rules, the Commission considers whether a proposed change or modification of a transmission standard for a broadcast station would be in the public interest. Sections 73.3571 and 73.3573 of the Commission's rules discuss the processing of AM and FM broadcast station applications, respectively. In the DAB FNPRM, we sought comment on what, if anything, the Commission should do to amend or replace these procedural requirements in the context of DAB.

- (14.3 percent) were ineligible for further processing. The staff also found significant technical deficiencies in 68 of the 230 singleton applicants (29.5 percent) that filed long-form applications, and, to this point, has dismissed 55 singletons altogether, with only 20 original singleton applications still pending. 28. In light of this unacceptably high percentage of defective filings, we tentatively conclude that Section 73.3571(h)(1)(ii) should be modified to require that applicants in future AM broadcast auctions must at the time of filing meet basic technical eligibility criteria, including community of license coverage (day and night), and protection of co- and adjacent-channel stations and prior-filed applications (day and night). We also tentatively conclude that the rules should be modified to prohibit the amendment of applications

Moreover, applicants failed to submit long-form applications for 91 of the 321 Form 175 singleton proposals. Finally, the staff found technical deficiencies in 68 of the 230 singleton long-form applications. 33. Given the high percentage of defective filings, the Commission tentatively concluded that Section 73.3571(h)(1)(ii) should be modified to require that applicants in future AM broadcast auctions must, at the time of filing, meet the following basic technical eligibility criteria: (1) community of license coverage (day); (2) community of license coverage (night); (3) daytime protection of existing AM facilities and prior-filed proposed AM facilities; and (4) nighttime protection of existing AM facilities and prior-filed proposed

- community merits a dispositive Section 307(b) preference, but is not so low as to undermine the statute's general preference for awarding new commercial stations primarily through competitive bidding. An applicant receiving a dispositive Section 307(b) preference under Priority (4) will, of course, be subject to the prohibition on reducing service set forth in the First R&O and codified in Section 73.3571(k)(i) of the Rules. 33. Except under the circumstances outlined above, dispositive Section 307(b) preferences will not be granted under Priority (4). Thus, as is currently the practice, mutually exclusive application groups in which no applicant receives a Section 307(b) preference will proceed to competitive bidding. We will not, however, apply these new procedures to pending applications for new AM stations

In addition, the Commission now classifies as "minor" any changes to the hours of authorized operation of AM stations or the addition of nighttime service to daytime only AM stations. See 47 C.F.R. 73.3571(a)(1); 74.1233(a)(1). Because minor modification applications may be filed at any time and are governed by first come/first served processing procedures (see supra 27 n.39), the relief accorded through this technical rulemaking proceeding should significantly assuage petitioners' concerns about restrictions on the filing of modification applications. 2.

On November 6, 2003, the Media Bureau (``Bureau'') and the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau announced an auction filing window. The window was available for construction permit applications for new AM stations and major modifications to authorized AM facilities, as defined in Section 73.3571(a)(1) of the Commission's Rules. The public notice specifically stated that the window ``will not be available for frequencies in the AM expanded band or for major changes in existing AM expanded band stations,'' citing a previously released February 1, 2002, public notice, which instituted a freeze on the filing of all AM expanded band major change applications. 3.

Section 73.1690 is amended by revising paragraph (b) and adding sub-paragraph (9) to read as follows: 73.1690 Modification of transmission systems. ***** (b) ***** (9) Any change in the community of license, where the proposed new facilities are the same as, or would be mutually exclusive with, the licensee's or permittee's present assignment. 6. Section 73.3571 is amended by revising paragraph (a)(1), and adding new paragraph (j) to read as follows: 73.3571 Processing of AM broadcast station applications.
