In this document, the Commission adopted a single protection scheme for tower construction and modification near AM tower arrays and designated "moment method" computer modeling as the principal means of determining whether a nearby tower affects an AM radiation pattern. The Commission also dismissed in part as moot and denied in all other respects a petition for reconsideration of the Second Report and Order in MM Docket No. 93-177.
