The Commission has under consideration a Petition for Reconsideration filed on April 26, 1999  !7by Saga Communications, Inc., ("Saga") and related responsive pleadings. Saga seeks reconsideration of  !3a Commission order which denied its Petition to Deny and granted the abovecaptioned assignment of  !xlicense of station KZSR(FM), Onawa, Iowa from Barnco, Inc. to Waitt Radio, Inc. ("Waitt") and a related  !permanent waiver of 47 C.F.R.  73.3555(c), the onetoamarket rule, to allow Waitt to own both a radio  S' !*station and a television station, KMEG(TV), in the same market. Barnco, Inc., 14 FCC Rcd 5414 (1999)  !(Commissioner Tristani dissenting and issuing a statement). For the reasons discussed below, we deny the Petition for Reconsideration.  S;'   S' x"2. On reconsideration, as in its earlier Petition to Deny, Saga challenges the sufficiency of Waitt's  !onetoamarket waiver showing, particularly with regard to cost savings and programming and service  !}benefits to be derived from common ownership and joint operation of KZSR(FM) and KMEG(TV).  !Additionally, Saga raises new arguments concerning Waitt's alleged lack of candor in two instances. First,  !pWaitt allegedly failed to disclose that KZSR was operating at reduced power in discussing a drop in  !audience share. Second, according to Saga, Waitt violated 47 C.F.R.  1.65 and lacked candor in failing to disclose interests in other Iowa radio stations.   Sp"' xy3. Reconsideration is appropriate where the petitioner shows a material error or omission in the  !original order or raises additional facts not known or not existing until after petitioner's last opportunity  S $' !to present such matters. See 47 C.F.R.  1.106(c), (d). With respect to Waitt's waiver showing, the  !Petition for Reconsideration makes the same arguments presented in the Petition to Deny and has not  !established that there are any material errors of fact or law. The Commission decision at issue contains  !a thorough analysis of Waitt's waiver request and concludes that Waitt provides sufficient public interest  !showings to justify a waiver, that a waiver would be consistent with the Commission's treatment of waiver"?', * *,,("  S' !requests from licensees serving similar sized markets, and that Waitt is qualified. {Oh' !k ԍ In Barnco, the Commission approved Waitt's acquisition of KZSR, and its related request for a waiver of the  {O2' ! onetoamarket rule under the casebycase waiver standard set forth in the Second Report and Order in MM Docket  {O' ! No. 877 (1989), recon. granted in part and denied in part, 4 FCC Rcd 6489 (1989). However, subsequent to  {O' ! Barnco, the Commission adopted revisions to the onetoamarket rule and eliminated the casebycase waiver  {O' ! standard. See Report and Order in MM Docket Nos. 91221 and 878, FCC 99209 (released Aug. 6, 1999); 64 Fed.  ! Reg. 50651 (Sept. 17, 1999). Although the revised rules are not yet effective, they permit, in any market, the common ownership of one television station and one radio station. FCC 99209 at  100.  Nothing in Saga's  !Petition for Reconsideration demonstrates any reason to disturb that decision. Reconsideration is not  S' !warranted merely to reargue these same issues that were adequately and correctly resolved in Barnco. See  Sh' !gWWIZ, Inc., 37 FCC 685, 686 (1964), aff'd sub nom. Lorain Journal Company v. FCC, 351 F.2d 824  S6' !(D.C. Cir. 1965), cert. denied, 383 U.S. 967, rehearing denied, 384 U.S. 947, petition to reopen denied, 4 FCC 2d 608 (1966).  S' xh4. With regard to new allegations of Waitt's lack of candor, Saga has not demonstrated any  !matter that would raise a substantial and material question of fact about Waitt's qualifications. In  !Qparticular, we find no question of any intent to deceive, which is a necessary and essential element of any  S' !showing of misrepresentation or lack of candor. See Fox River Broadcasting, Inc., 93 FCC 2d 127  !(1983). The alleged failure of Waitt to indicate that KZSR was operating at reduced power for 10 days  !out of a 12 week ratings period does not evidence an intent to mislead the Commission about the cause  Sm ' !of the station's poor ratings. Moreover, as indicated in Barnco, KZSR's ratings were not material to the  !Commission's decision. Similarly, we reject Saga's allegation that Waitt lacked candor because it did not  !@amend the KZSR application to report its subsequent applications to acquire and/or program additional  !Iowa radio stations. Section 1.65 of our rules requires an applicant to report a substantial change to its  !application no later than 30 days after the change. 47 C.F.R.  1.65(a). Waitt indicates that it believed  !*the need to amend became moot because the Commission granted the current application two weeks into  !the 30 day period. The obligation to amend pursuant to Section 1.65 remains in effect until a transaction  S ' !is no longer subject to appeal, and therefore, Waitt should have submitted an amendment. See 47 C.F.R.  !} 1.65(a). Nevertheless, KZSR's applications for the additional Iowa radio stations was a matter of  !Commission record, and there is no indication that the failure to amend the KZSR application was  Sq' !intended to deceive the Commission. See e.g., California State University, Sacramento, 13 FCC Rcd  !Q17960, 17964 (1998) (no lack of candor found in extension of construction permit application where loss  !of site reported 6 weeks later in subsequent modification of permit application). The staff evaluated the  !ksubsequent applications and resolved the underlying issue by concluding that Waitt could own the stations  !Zat issue here, as well as obtaining or programming the additional Iowa stations. Waitt timely disclosed  Ss'all of its interests in that context.s yO%' ! ԍ The staff, considering Waitt's applications and an objection from Saga, determined that Waitt's acquisition  !} of KAYL AM/FM, KUOO(FM), and KUQQ(FM) and local marketing agreements with KSOU AM/FM and  !U KIHK(FM), in addition to the stations at issue here, would not trigger the contour encompassment provisions of the  {O}!' ! onetoamarket rule and would comply with the local radio ownership rule. Letter from Chief, Audio Services  {OG"' !Z Division to James K. Edmundson, Esq., Ref. No. 1800B3HM, (July 13, 1999). Saga has not filed a petition for reconsideration. Thus, we find that Waitt did not lack candor. s  yO$' !g ԍ We note that Waitt subsequently made efforts to comply with Section 1.65 by filing amendments to the  !Z KZSR application on August 16, 1999 and September 13, 1999, notifying the Commission of its other pending  ! applications that did not trigger the multiple ownership or crossownership rules according to the certifications in those other applications.
