Initially the inventory for this auction was 237 construction permits. Due to the filing of settlement proposals which resolved the mutual exclusivity issue, several MX groups (4 AM, 43 FM, 4 FMT, 15 PST, and 52 SST) were removed from the auction. (See Public Notices DA99-1346 and DA99-1949) One other FM construction permit for Pahrump, Nevada was removed and auctioned separately under Auction No. 27. (See Public Notice DA99-2062)
