On October 31, 1997, the above listed applications, proposing to construct and operate ITFS facilities to serve Roanoke Rapids, South Carolina were amended. The amendments propose changes in location, EIRP and polarization. While amendments of this nature constitute a major change and require the assignment of new file numbers, the subject amendments were filed to accommodate a settlement agreement among applicants that have previously achieved cut-off status. Consequently, the cut-off rules are waived for the amended applications, and no competing applications may be filed.
