The FCC Media Bureau will open a filing window from April 8 to April 17, to permit specifiednAuction 83 FM translator applicants to de-select their noncommercial educational (NCE) filing status.nThe bureau rejected the argument that commercial applicants will be substantially harmed if mutually exclusivenNCE applicants are permitted to de-select their NCE status, it said in a public notice (http:/bit.ly/16u3ehq). "We find immaterial the fact that an applicant's clear intention to seek an NCE stationncan be independently established by its specification of an NCE primary station on the tech box componentnof its Auction 83 application." Applicants allowed to amend their Auction 83 applications includenAmerican Family Association, Tupelo, Miss., Connecticut Public Broadcasting and Rowan University,nGlassboro, N.J., the bureau said (http://bit.ly/Z4E3mc).
