Bureau deems it appropriate to lift the freezes on petitions for 
rulemaking to change channels in the DTV Table of Allotments, petitions 
for rulemaking for new DTV allotments, petitions for rulemaking to 
change communities of license, including changes in technical 
parameters, and modification applications that increase a full power or 
Class A station's service area beyond an area that is already served.
