MEDIA BUREAU EXTENDS THE FILING DATE FOR TIME-SHARES SUMBITTED 
IN RESPONSE TO THE JULY 9, 2014, PUBLIC NOTICE IDENTIFYING TENTATIVE 
SELECTEES IN 79 GROUPS OF MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE APPLICATIONS
By this Public Notice the Media Bureau (“Bureau”) announces it will accept all time-share agreements
submitted by October 8, 2014, 6:00 p.m. EDT, that were filed in response to the July 9, 2014, Public 
Notice identifying tentative selectees in 79 groups of mutually exclusive (“MX”) applications filed in the 
October 2013 low power FM window.
1
July Public Notice:  The July PN identified tentative selectees in 79 MX groups.  The Commission gave 
MX groups with multiple tentative selectees the option of proposing a time-share agreement to share the 
use of the frequency.
2
  The Commission stated that the time-share proposals were to be submitted “within 
90-days of the release of [the July PN].”
3
  As stated above, the July PN was released on July 9, 2014, 
which would have required time-share proposals to be due by October 7, 2014.
However, it has come to the Bureau’s attention that the July PN caused confusion among some applicants.  
The July PN also established a deadline for MX applicants to file major amendments to remove technical 
conflicts among the MX applicants.
4
  The Commission stated: “Starting July 10, 2014, at 12:01 a.m. EDT, 
the first business day after the date of release of [the July PN], we open a 90-day period to permit the MX 
applicants …to file major amendments….  This 90-day period for filing major change amendments ends 
October 8, 2014, at 6:00 p.m. EDT.”
5
  
Based on the deadline stated in the July PN for major amendments, some applicants believed that time-
share proposals were also due by October 8, 2014, at 6:00 p.m. EDT.  To ensure fairness in the processing 
of time-share proposals, the Bureau will accept time-share agreements that were submitted by October 8, 
2014, 6:00 p.m. EDT.
