to come into compliance with the 45 MHz limit.  In conjunction with its instant request for
permanent waiver, Western also requests that the Commission forbear from enforcement of the
divestiture requirements until the Commission rules on its permanent waiver request.

the deadline for Western to come into compliance with Section 20.6 pending the release of an order
resolving Western's request for permanent waiver.
