Abstract
In this document the Commission denies petitions for further reconsideration of the rules and procedures used to compare reserved channel noncommercial educational ("NCE") broadcast applicants. The Commission rejects suggestions that it adopt relatively small alterations to, or exemptions from, the current standards, finding that such changes are unwarranted. The effect of this document is to affirm the standards for comparing mutually exclusive NCE applicants on reserved channels.
