  • license application. Discussion. In its objection, Susquehanna states that Central's proposal is 35 kilometers short-spaced to WABZ-FM's authorized modified facilities, which will result in interference within WABZ-FM's 70 and 60 dBu contours. tion was properly accepted for filing on September 3, 2003. Susquehanna's modification application was granted on January 6, 2004. Thus, pursuant to the requirements of Sections 73.807 and 73.809 specified above, WABZ-FM's modified facilities were ``subsequently authorized'' and the grant of the WABZ-FM modification application does not result in Central's proposal becoming noncompliant with the Commission's distance separation requirements. The change in WABZ-FM's facility, however, does result in Central's application causing predicted interference within WABZ-FM's principal community contour at its currently permitted site for Indian Trail.

Under Section 73.809 of the Commission's rules, LPFM stations are responsible for resolving all allegations of actual interference to the reception of a co-channel or first-, second-, or third-adjacent channel full service station within the full service station's 70 dBu contour. This rule requires an LPFM station to cease operations if the LPFM station cannot demonstrate that interference is unlikely to occur. Although

Section 73.809 of the Rules sets forth detailed complaint procedures to resolve disputes over the likelihood of actual interference and the sufficiency of actions taken by LPFM stations to eliminate that interference.

Section 73.809 is modified as follows: � 73.809 Interference protection to full service FM stations. (a) It shall be the responsibility of the licensee of an LPFM station to correct at its expense any condition of interference to the direct reception of the signal of any subsequently authorized commercial or NCE FM station that operates on the same channel, first-adjacent channel, second-adjacent

In its objection, Susquehanna states that Central's proposal is 35 kilometers short-spaced to WABZ-FM's authorized modified facilities, which will result in interference within WABZ-FM's 70 and 60 dBu contours. tion was properly accepted for filing on September 3, 2003. Susquehanna's modification application was granted on January 6, 2004. Thus, pursuant to the requirements of Sections 73.807 and 73.809 specified above, WABZ-FM's modified facilities were ``subsequently authorized'' and the grant of the WABZ-FM modification application does not result in Central's proposal becoming noncompliant with the Commission's distance separation requirements. The change in WABZ-FM's facility, however, does result in Central's application causing predicted interference within WABZ-FM's principal community contour at its currently permitted site for Indian Trail. Such overlap would

This procedural change is a reasonable exercise of the Commission's administrative discretion. Accordingly, we conclude that the imposition of a cap in these circumstances is lawful. Interference Protection from Subsequently Authorized Full-Service FM Stations ference is unlikely to occur. Section 73.809 of the Rules sets forth detailed complaint procedures to resolve disputes over the likelihood of actual interference and the sufficiency of actions taken by LPFM stations to eliminate that interference. In September 2000, the Commission dismissed a motion to reconsider the regulatory status of LPFM stations. In the FNPRM, however, the Commission stated that ``it would be useful to consider
