areas:
(1) Guam and Northern Mariana Islands;
(2) Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands;
(3) American Samoa, and
(4) the Gulf of Mexico. The Gulf of Mexico EA extends from 12 nautical miles
off the U.S. Gulf coast outward into the Gulf. See 62 FR 9636 (March 3,
1997), in which the Commission created an additional four economic area-like
areas for a total of 176 EA service areas. Maps of the EAs and theFederal

for public inspection and copying at the FCC Reference Center, Room CY

rules, the SMSA portion will be excluded from auction and the incumbent
licensee will retain the exclusive right to those channels within the SMSA.
