  • the Staff Decision, it included an amendment to the application that Proctor characterized as a ``minor modification'' of the construction permit. The amendment proposed to move the transmitter site and claimed to eliminate the prohibited overlap. According to Proctor, this rendered the application acceptable for filing. Staff analysis determined that the amendment constituted a major change application pursuant to Section 74.1233(a)(1) of the Commission's rules. As the staff explained in its Reconsideration Decision, the rule defines as a major change ``any change in antenna location [of an FM translator] where the station would not continue to provide 1 mV/m service to some portion of its previously authorized 1 mV/m service area.'' Having found that Proctor's proposed service from the new antenna

Rather, ICRC is attempting to move its translator station to a channel that will not be mutually exclusive with Petitioners' proposal to operate on Channel 230B1 at Lawrence, Indiana. ICRC may file an application to move to a new channel pursuant to Section 74.1233(a)(1) of our Rules, but such an application is not appropriately filed in this proceeding. Second, the Section 73.512 channel change procedures on which ICRC relies are limited to Class D noncommercial educational (NCE) FM stations. Accordingly, ICRC's reliance on this rule to propose a new channel for an FM translator station is misplaced. Third, the Commission's Rules provide no basis

SMCCD argued that the application should be dismissed pursuant to Section 74.1204(f) of the rules because, if implemented, the Association's translator station would cause interference to reception of KCRW(FM).

  • as of the date of the filing of the amendment. 47 C.F.R. 1.918(b); see also 47 C.F.R. 90.165(d)(1) (1997). EEC cites to a number of scattered provisions, many of which do not involve private radio services, to make the point that a change in frequency constitutes a substantial amendment to an application. See 47 C.F.R. 1.962(c)(1), 73.3571(a)(1), 73.3572(a)(1)(i), 73.3573(a)(1), 74.911(a)(1), 74.1233(a)(1); see also 22.123(e)(6), 90.164(a), 90.165(d) (1997). EEC concludes from these provisions that PCIA's changes to PageMart's applications amounted to substantial amendments, which moved PageMart's applications to the end of the queue and thus behind the application submitted by EEC. Like the argument about the signature requirement, this argument fails because the rules cited by EEC apply to applications that have
