Parties with applications in the mutually exclusive groups listed in Appendix A may resolve their mutual exclusivity by unilateral engineering amendment, legal settlement, or engineering settlement during a settlement period beginning today, October 30, 2018, and ending at 11:59 p.m. ET, January 10, 2019. The applications listed in Appendix A are subject to the Commission’s competitive bidding procedures unless their mutual exclusivity is resolved. The Media Bureau will withhold further action on the mutually exclusive proposals listed in Appendix A pending submission of settlement agreements or engineering amendments to resolve mutual exclusivity prior to the close of the settlement period. Thereafter, the Wireless Telecommunications and Media Bureaus will announce an auction date and propose auction procedures for the remaining mutually exclusive applications. Unilateral Engineering Amendments. Applicants may resolve their mutual exclusivity by filing an engineering amendment to their application. An amendment that does not implicate the application of another station may be filed by the station during the settlement period without coordination with any other entity. All such amendments must be submitted by filing an amended FCC Form 2100— Schedule C in the Media Bureau’s Licensing and Management System (LMS) by 11:59 p.m. ET on January 10, 2019.

Parties submitting a legal settlement for approval must ensure that their VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:20 Nov 16, 2018 Jkt 247001 agreements comply with the provisions of Section 311(c) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and the pertinent requirements of Section 73.3525 of the Commission’s rules, including, inter alia, the settlement reimbursement restrictions.

Engineering Settlements. Applicants may also enter into a settlement agreement to resolve their mutual exclusivity by means of an engineering solution. As with unilateral engineering amendments, engineering amendments submitted in conjunction with a settlement must be minor, as defined by the applicable rules, and must not create new mutual exclusivities or application conflicts. Such settlements may include proposing channel sharing as means to resolve their mutual exclusivity. Engineering settlement agreements must also be filed with the Commission for approval and must include the documentation required by Section 73.3525 outlined above. Requests for approval of engineering settlement agreements, accompanying documentation, and corresponding technical amendments must be submitted in the form of an amendment to each party’s pending application in LMS by 11:59 p.m. ET on January 10, 2019.

PO 00000 Frm 00029 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 In the case of legal and engineering settlements, the parties should endeavor, wherever possible, to resolve their mutual exclusivity through minor engineering amendments, as defined by the applicable rules. However, applicants that are unable to resolve their mutual exclusivity through a minor engineering amendment may, as part of their legal or engineering settlement, amend their application(s) to propose a new available channel. The new channel proposal may not create a new mutual exclusivity or conflict with any other application previously-filed in the Special Displacement Window. Federal Communications Commission.
