§  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
   § 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 § 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 § 22.131(c)(3)(ii) and
   § 22.131(c)(4).
