REC Networks requests that we refrain from changing our Low Power FM (``LPFM'') rules relating to ownership caps and assignment of stations because these rules are consistent with our intentions in establishing LPFM. LPFM ownership and assignment rules are addressed in Sections 73.855, 73.858, 73.860, and 73.865 of the Commission's rules, adopted in 2000, and are not addressed in the context of this proceeding. These are non-commercial stations and therefore a consideration of ownership limits for these stations is outside the scope of this proceeding. REC also asks that we impose new ownership restrictions on non-commercial educational stations. We dismiss that request as such limits
