transferee also qualifies for the Tribal
Priority. Pursuant to procedures set
forth in the Rural Third R&O, 26 FCC
Rcd at 17645–50, the Tribal Priority
Holding Period is now applied in the
context of authorizations obtained using
Tribal Priority Threshold Qualifications.
Consistent with actions taken by the
Commission in the Rural Third R&O,
the following changes are made to
Forms 314 and 315: Section I of each
form includes a question asking
applicants to indicate whether any of
the authorizations involved in the
subject transaction were obtained: after
award of a dispositive Section 307(b)
preference using the Tribal Priority;
through Threshold Qualification
procedures; or through the Tribal
Priority as applied before the NCE fair
distribution analysis. A subsequent
question then asks whether both the
assignor/transferor and assignee/
transferee qualify for the Tribal Priority
in all respects. Applicants not meeting
the Tribal Priority qualifications and
proposing an assignment or transfer
during the Holding Period must provide
an exhibit demonstrating that the
transaction is consistent with the Tribal
Priority policies or that a waiver is
warranted. The instructions for Section
I of Forms 314 and 315 have been
revised to assist applicants with
completing the questions.
