Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 104 / Thursday, June 1, 2017 / Notices
broadcast stations pending before the
FCC involve a determination of fair,
efficient and equitable distribution of
service pursuant to section 307(b) of the
Communications Act, and an agreement
is made to procure the withdrawal (by
amendment to specify a different
community or by dismissal pursuant to
§ 73.3568) of the only application or
applications seeking the same facilities
for one of the communities involved, all
parties thereto shall file the joint request
and affidavits specified in paragraph (a)
of this section.
(1) If upon examination of the
proposed agreement the FCC finds that
withdrawal of one of the applications
would unduly impede achievement of a
fair, efficient and equitable distribution
of radio service among the several States
and communities, then the FCC shall
order that further opportunity be
afforded for other persons to apply for
the facilities specified in the application
or applications to be withdrawn before
acting upon the pending request for
approval of the agreement.
(2) Upon release of such order, any
party proposing to withdraw its
application shall cause to be published
a notice of such proposed withdrawal at
least twice a week for 2 consecutive
weeks within the 3-week period
immediately following release of the
FCC’s order, in a daily newspaper of
general circulation published in the
community in which it was proposed to
locate the station. However, if there is
no such daily newspaper published in
the community, the notice shall be
published as follows:
(i) If one or more weekly newspapers
of general circulation are published in
the community in which the station was
proposed to be located, notice shall be
published in such a weekly newspaper
once a week for 3 consecutive weeks
within the 4-week period immediately
following the release of the FCC’s order.
(ii) If no weekly newspaper of general
circulation is published in the
community in which the station was
proposed to be located, notice shall be
published at least twice a week for 2
consecutive weeks within the 3-week
period immediately following the
release of the FCC’s order in the daily
newspaper having the greatest general
circulation in the community in which
the station was proposed to be located.
(3) The notice shall state the name of
the applicant; the location, frequency
and power of the facilities proposed in
the application; the location of the
station or stations proposed in the
applications with which it is in conflict;
the fact that the applicant proposes to
withdraw the application; and the date
VerDate Sep<11>2014

upon which the last day of publication
shall take place.
(4) Such notice shall additionally
include a statement that new
applications for a broadcast station on
the same frequency, in the same
community, with substantially the same
engineering characteristics and
proposing to serve substantially the
same service area as the application
sought to be withdrawn, timely filed
pursuant to the FCC’s rules, or filed, in
any event, within 30 days from the last
date of publication of the notice
(notwithstanding any provisions
normally requiring earlier filing of a
competing application), will be entitled
to comparative consideration with other
pending mutually exclusive affidavits.
(5) Within 7 days of the last day of
publication of the notice, the applicant
proposing to withdraw shall file a
statement in triplicate with the FCC
giving the dates on which the notice
was published, the text of the notice and
the name and location of the newspaper
in which the notice was published.
