of general circulation of the filing of all applications for assignment 
of license/permit. This notice must be completed within 30 days of the 
tendering of the application. A copy of this notice must be placed in 
the public inspection file along with the application. The form has

any related written agreement and an affidavit certifying that neither 
the party withdrawing its interest nor its principals has received any 
consideration in excess of legitimate and prudent expenses in exchange 
for dismissing/withdrawing its petition, an itemization of the expenses 
for which it is seeking reimbursement, and the terms of any oral 
agreement. Each remaining party to any written or oral agreement must 
submit an affidavit within 5 days of petitioner's request for approval 
stating that it has paid no consideration to the petitioner in excess 
of the petitioner's legitimate and prudent expenses. The data is used 
by FCC staff to ensure that an expression of interest in applying for, 
constructing, and operating a station was filed under appropriate 
circumstances and not to extract payment in excess of legitimate and 
prudent expenses.
