See 47 C. F. R. § 1.2111( c) and (d). We approve these transfers of control applications because we find they are in the public interest, convenience, and necessity. See 47 U. S. C. § 310( d).

Transactions must be consummated and notification provided to the Commission within 180 days of this Public Notice and notification of consummation must occur no later than 30 days after actual consummation unless an extension has been requested. Hence, we remind parties that a transfer shall not be considered complete until the underlying transaction closes and all conditions set forth in the grant documents, including this Public Notice and the application, are met. Upon receipt of the notification required by Section 1.948( d) of the Commission's rules, and satisfaction of all requisite conditions, the Bureau will consider the transfer "complete." Failure of the parties to comply with Section 1.948( d) of the Commission's rules, or any specific condition described above, will result in automatic cancellation of the Commission's approval, and dismissal of the underlying application.
