SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The final rules that are the subject of these corrections were 
adopted in the Federal Communications Commission's Report and Order in 
MM Docket No. 87-267, which was published on December 12, 1991 (56 FR 
64842). The rules, which related generally to improvement of the AM 
broadcast service, were intended to include all of the rules adopted in 
the Commission's Report and Order in MM Docket No. 89-46, which were 
published on August 13, 1990 (55 FR 32922), and which provided for 
interference reduction between AM broadcast stations.

Need for Correction

    The amendatory text accompanying the Report and Order in MM Docket 
No. 87-267 omitted two provisions that were adopted in MM Docket No. 
89-46, and that were intended to be included in the final rules in MM 
Docket No. 87-267.

Correction of Publication

    Accordingly, 47 CFR Part 73 is corrected by making the following 
correcting amendments:

PART 73--AMENDED

    1. The authority citation for Part 73 continues to read as follows:

    Authority: 47 U.S.C. 154 and 303.


Sec. 73.1750   [Corrected]

    2. Section 73.1750 is amended to add the following language at the 
end to read as follows:


Sec. 73.1750   Discontinuance of operation.

    * * * If a licensee surrenders its license pursuant to an 
interference reduction arrangement, and its surrender is contingent 
upon the grant of another application, the licensee surrendering the 
license must identify in its notification the contingencies involved.
    3. Section 73.3571(c)(1) is amended by redesignating paragraphs 
(c)(1) and (c)(2) as (c)(2) and (c)(3), and by adding new paragraph 
(c)(1) to read as follows:


Sec. 73.3571   Processing of AM broadcast station applications. 
[Corrected]

* * * * *
    (c) * * *
    (1) In order to grant a major or minor change application made 
contingent upon the grant of another licensee's request for a facility 
modification, the Commission will not consider mutually exclusive 
applications by other parties that would not protect the currently 
authorized facilities of the contingent applicants. Such major change 
applications remain, however, subject to the provisions of 
Secs. 73.3580 and 1.1111. The Commission shall grant contingent 
requests for construction permits for station modifications only upon a 
finding that such action will promote the public interest, convenience 
and necessity.
* * * * *
William F. Caton,
Acting Secretary.
