The Bureau made two alterations to the Constraints proposed in the Transition Scheduling Proposal Public Notice.  First, the Bureau neglected to adopt as a Constraint a prohibition on temporary channel assignments. Instead, the Bureau stated that it would allow stations to voluntarily seek the use of a temporary channel at any time during its assigned phase transition period.
      Second, the Bureau adopted the NAB’s suggestion that, as an alternative to capping aggregate temporary interference levels at 5%, the Bureau will instead attempt to find alternative phase assignments for stations predicted to receive greater than 5% temporary aggregate interference.
     The Bureau also stated that applications for extensions of time, requests for Special Temporary Authority (“STAs”), and requests for waivers of deadlines to discontinue pre-auction operations would be granted on a case-by-case basis – and that applications/requests unlikely to delay or disrupt the transition will be viewed more favorably.
