DA 97- 537
Released: March 17, 1997
MASS MEDIA BUREAU ANNOUNCES REVISED AM EXPANDED BAND
ALLOTMENT PLAN AND FILING WINDOW FOR ELIGIBLE STATIONS
The Commission today is releasing a Memorandum Opinion and Order,
Implementation of the AM Expanded Band Allotment Plan, FCC 97-68 which grants in
part and denies in part petitions for reconsideration of Comments in Response to
Reconsideration of Implementation of the AM Expanded Band and Allotment Plan, 11
FCC Rcd 12444 (1996) and Public Notice, Mass Media Bureau Announces Revised
Expanded AM Broadcast Band Improvement Factors and Allotment Plan, DA 96-408
(released March 22, 1996). The Memorandum Opinion and Order also rescinds the
allotment plan set forth in the March 22, 1996 Public Notice. This Public Notice
announces a revised Expanded Band allotment plan that provides for eighty-eight AM
radio stations in the frequency band between 1605 and 1705 kHz. The attached "Revised
Expanded Band Allotment Plan" identifies the stations that are eligible to apply for
authorizations and the specific allotments for which they may apply.
The Mass Media Bureau will contact each licensee and permittee selected for an
Expanded Band authorization. Stations will be afforded 90 days from the date of this
Public Notice to file an application for construction permit on the allotted channel.
Applications should be filed on FCC Form 301 and must be submitted with the filing fee
for a new AM station construction permit (Payment Type Code MUR). The Commission
will place these applications on a cut-off list following their acceptance for filing to permit
the filing of petitions to deny. Competing applications will not be accepted. Following
grant of a construction permit application and construction of the authorized facilities,
each Expanded Band permittee will be required to file an application for covering license
on FCC Form 302. Expanded Band licensees will receive authorizations permitting dual
frequency operations for a period not to exceed five years.
For additional information, please contact Peter Doyle at pdoyle@fcc.gov or
(202) 418-2780.
