In the Public Notice, the Video Division of the Media Bureau provided a list of all proposals received during the filing window that are not mutually exclusive with any other proposal submitted in the filing window. Since these proposals are not mutually exclusive with any other proposal (and are therefore deemed ‘‘singletons’’), they will not be subject to the Commission’s auction procedures.

In addition, the Public Notice reminded applicants proposing digital companion channels on channels 52–59 that they must certify in their long form application the unavailability of any suitable in-core channel. ‘‘Suitable incore channel’’ is defined as one that would enable the station to produce a digital service area comparable to its analog service area. In addition, § 74.786(d) of the Commission’s rules provides that applicants proposing digital companion channels on channels 52–59 must notify all potentially affected 700 MHz band wireless licensees of the spectrum comprising the proposed TV channel and the spectrum in the first adjacent channels thereto not later than 30 days prior to the submission of their long form application.
