FCC Issues First Points Decisions from 2021 NCE-FM Filing Window

On August 2, 2022, the FCC released an order selecting the highest-points winning applications from 27 mutually exclusive groups of applications filed in its November 2021 filing window.  With the adoption of the order, the FCC accepted the tentative selectees’ applications for filing and the time periods for legal challenges began running.  In coming weeks, unchallenged selectees will see construction permits issued.

There remain several pending mutually exclusive groups without points decisions.  We expect future orders to decide those groups.
