pending for new NTSC stations on channels 52-59. It is also available 
for these and other parties with pending applications for new NTSC

applicable, all application amendments, petitions for rule making and 
amendments to petitions for rule making seeking a new channel must be 
filed during this window. The Commission will thereafter dismiss all 
remaining applications for new NTSC stations on channels 52-59 and 
petitions from applicants that continue to request replacement NTSC 
allotments on channels 52-59.
