FCC, 50 F.3d 1096 (D.C. Cir. 1995); H&C Communications, Inc.,  x9 FCC Rcd 144, 146 (1993). After weighing the factors, the Commission considers any public  xinterest benefits proposed by the applicant to determine whether, in light of the overlap, the  XN- xbenefits outweigh any detriment which may occur from grant of the waiver. See, e.g., Iowa State  X9- x=University, 9 FCC Rcd at 48788. As with any waiver, it will only be granted if the Commission concludes that the waiver is in the public interest.  X -  |6. xCurrently, the Commission is reexamining its broadcast television ownership policies,  xNincluding the duopoly rule. In January 1995, the Commission proposed a new analytical  X - xframework within which to evaluate its broadcast television ownership rules. See Review of the  xCommission's Regulations Governing Television Broadcasting, Further Notice of Proposed Rule  X- xMaking, 10 FCC Rcd 3524 (1995) ("Television Ownership Further Notice"). Subsequent to the  X- xrelease of the Television Ownership Further Notice, Congress directed the Commission to conduct  x[a rulemaking proceeding to determine whether to retain, modify or eliminate existing limitations  xon the number of television stations that an entity may control within the same television market.  XD- x>See Section 202(c) of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, Pub. L. No. 104104, 110 Stat. 56  x.(Feb. 8, 1996) ("Telecomm Act"). In response to this Congressional directive in the Telecomm  X- x0Act and to update the record, the Commission released the Review of the Commission's  xRegulations Governing Television Broadcasting, Second Further Notice of Proposed Rule Making,  X- xFCC 96438 (released Nov. 7, 1996) ("Television Ownership Second Further Notice"). In that  X- xSecond Further Notice, the Commission tentatively concluded to authorize common ownership  x=of television stations that are in separate DMAs and whose Grade A contours do not overlap.  X-Television Ownership Second Further Notice at  57.  X-  7. xThe Commission stated in the Television Ownership Second Further Notice that it will be  xinclined, during the pendency of the television ownership proceeding, to grant temporary duopoly  xxwaivers involving stations in different DMAs with no overlapping Grade A contours, conditioned  xon coming into compliance with the outcome of the proceeding within six months of its  xconclusion. It also noted there its tentative conclusion that the record in that proceeding  xK"supports relaxation of the geographic scope of the duopoly rule from its current Grade B overlap  X- xstandard to a standard based on DMAs supplemented with a Grade A overlap criterion." Id. at  x 57. The Commission further stated that "we do not believe granting waivers satisfying the  xproposed standard, and conditioning them on the outcome of this proceeding, will adversely affect  X"- xyour competition and diversity goals in the interim." Id. Additionally, the Commission gave the  X#- xstaff delegated authority to act on applications seeking waivers consistent with this interim policy.  X$-Id.  X^&-  l8. xGiven the clearly articulated policy in the Television Ownership Second Further Notice,"^&,-(-(ZZ$"  X- xwe do not believe that an unconditional grant of Shockley's duopoly waiver is appropriate.  See  X- xWHOATV, Inc., 11 FCC Rcd at 2004647, 20051. However, we believe that grant of a  xconditional waiver of the duopoly rule, subject to the outcome of the pending ownership  xproceeding, is justified. The temporary common ownership of KXLT and WXOW would be  X- xconsistent with the interim policy set forth in the Television Ownership Second Further Notice,  xas the stations are in separate DMAs and there is no Grade A overlap between KXLT and  xWXOW. Moreover, our examination of the record presented here reveals nothing suggesting that  xwe should not follow the established interim policy in this case. Accordingly, we conclude that  xjgrant of a temporary waiver, conditioned on the resolution of the pending broadcast television  xownership rulemaking, will serve the public interest, convenience and necessity. Any requests  xto extend this conditional waiver should be filed at least 45 days prior to the end of the sixmonth  xperiod and would be closely scrutinized. Additionally, having found the applicants to be qualified  xin all respects, we conclude that grant of the application for assignment of license would also  X -serve the public interest. #,5\  P6G;,P#  XI -  #Xj\  P6G; XP#9. xAccordingly, IT IS ORDERED, That the request for permanent waiver of the television  xduopoly rule, Section 73.3555(b) of the Commission's Rules, to permit the common ownership  xof television stations KXLTTV and WXOWTV, IS DENIED; however, a conditional waiver  xyof Section 73.3555(b) IS GRANTED to permit the common ownership of stations KXLTTV and  xWXOWTV subject to the outcome of the Commission's pending broadcast ownership  xrulemaking in MM Docket Nos. 91221 and 878. Should divestiture be required as a result of  x-that proceeding, Shockley Communications Corporation is directed to file, within six months from  xthe release of the final order in MM Docket Nos. 91221 and 878, an application for  xCommission consent to dispose of such station as would be necessary for it to come into  Xz-compliance with the rules as provided in the final order.#,5\  P6G;,P#  H=ci  X-  @#Xj\  P6G; XP# 10. xIT IS FURTHER ORDERED, That the application for assignment of license of KXLT x#TV, Rochester, Minnesota, from KX Acquisition Limited Partnership to Shockley Communications Corporation (BALCT971001IB) IS GRANTED.
