Washington, D.C. 20554 DA 97- 537 Released: March 17, 1997 MASS MEDIA BUREAU ANNOUNCES REVISED AM EXPANDED BAND ALLOTMENT PLAN AND FILING WINDOW FOR ELIGIBLE STATIONS The Commission today is releasing a Memorandum Opinion and Order, Implementation of the AM Expanded Band Allotment Plan, FCC 97-68 which grants in part and denies in part petitions for reconsideration of Comments in Response to Reconsideration of Implementation of the AM Expanded Band and Allotment Plan, 11 FCC Rcd 12444 (1996) and Public Notice, Mass Media Bureau Announces Revised Expanded AM Broadcast Band Improvement Factors and Allotment Plan, DA 96-408 (released March 22, 1996). The Memorandum Opinion and Order also rescinds the allotment plan set forth in the March 22, 1996 Public Notice. This Public Notice announces a revised Expanded Band allotment plan that provides for eighty-eight AM radio stations in the frequency band between 1605 and 1705 kHz. The attached "Revised Expanded Band Allotment Plan" identifies the stations that are eligible to apply for authorizations and the specific allotments for which they may apply. The Mass Media Bureau will contact each licensee and permittee selected for an Expanded Band authorization. Stations will be afforded 90 days from the date of this Public Notice to file an application for construction permit on the allotted channel. Applications should be filed on FCC Form 301 and must be submitted with the filing fee for a new AM station construction permit (Payment Type Code MUR). The Commission will place these applications on a cut-off list following their acceptance for filing to permit the filing of petitions to deny. Competing applications will not be accepted. Following grant of a construction permit application and construction of the authorized facilities, each Expanded Band permittee will be required to file an application for covering license on FCC Form 302. Expanded Band licensees will receive authorizations permitting dual frequency operations for a period not to exceed five years. For additional information, please contact Peter Doyle at pdoyle@fcc.gov or (202) 418-2780.
