Communications between outside parties and Commission staff concerning these applications are permitted subject to the Commission's rules for "permit- but- disclose proceedings." See 47 C. F. R. § 1.1206. An application can be removed from streamlined processing only in the sound discretion of Commission staff. The filing of comments or a petition to deny will not necessarily result in an application being deemed ineligible for streamlined processing.

For this purpose, a formal opposition shall be sufficient only if it is received by the Commission and by the applicant within 14 days of the date of this public notice and its caption and text make it unmistakably clear that it is intended to be a formal opposition. Copies of all applications listed here are available for public inspection in the FCC Office of Public Affairs Reference and Information Center, located in room CY- A257 at the Portals 2 building, 445 12th Street SW, Washington DC 20554.
