A Memorandum Opinion and Order was adopted in February 1992 modifying the rule section. Specifically, a deadline was established for the filing of pioneer's preference requests and certain rules were clarified. Information submitted by applicants for a pioneer's preference will be used by the Commission to determine whether initiation of a rulemaking proceeding is warranted and, if so, whether applicants are entitled to preferences. If the information is not collected, it would not be possible to award preferences. Federal Communications Commission. William F. Caton, Acting Secretary.
