Sec.  22.717   Procedure for mutually exclusive applications in the Rural
Radiotelephone Service.

   Mutually  exclusive  applications in the Rural Radiotelephone Service,
   including those that are mutually exclusive with applications in the Paging
   and Radiotelephone Service, are processed in accordance with  Sec. 22.131 and
   with this section.

   (a)  Applications  in the Rural Radiotelephone Service may be mutually
   exclusive with applications in the Paging and Radiotelephone Service if they
   seek authorization to operate facilities on the same channel in the same
   area, or the technical proposals are otherwise in conflict. See  Sec. 22.567.

   (b) A modification application in either service filed on the earliest
   filing date may cause all later-filed mutually exclusive applications of any
   type in either service to be “cut off” (excluded from a same-day filing
   group) and dismissed, pursuant to  Sec. 22.131(c)(3)(ii) and  Sec. 22.131(c)(4).
