DA 00-2802
Released:  December 13, 2000


AM Auction No. 32 Mutually Exclusive Applicants 

Settlement Period and Section 307(b) Filing Period
 Extended to February 28, 2001


Report No. AUC 00-32 - F   (Auction No. 32)
	
	On October 27, 2000, the Mass Media Bureau and the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau 
(collectively the "Bureaus") released a Public Notice, DA 00-2416, listing all AM applications received 
during the AM auction filing window that are mutually exclusive with other applications filed in the 
window.   The Public Notice established a December 29, 2000 deadline for the filing of settlement 
agreements and technical solutions for application groups involving at least one major modification 
proposal.  It also established a December 29, 2000 deadline for each applicant to file a Section 307(b) 
submission where competing applicants propose to serve different communities.   

	Numerous applicants have requested that the Bureaus extend the December 29, 2000 deadline so 
that they could fully pursue settlement opportunities and technical solutions and prepare complete 
Section 307(b) submissions.  The Bureaus find that an extension of  these filing periods would serve the 
public interest.  Therefore, by this Public Notice, we extend the deadline for the filing of settlement 
agreements, engineering proposals to resolve the  mutual exclusivity, and Section 307(b) submissions, to 
February 28, 2001.  All other filing requirements remain unchanged.

	For further information, contact Edward DeLahunt or Lisa Scanlan of the Audio Services 
Division at (202) 418-2700.
