Abstract
In this document the Commission adopts a limit of 10 applications filed by any party during the upcoming 2021 window for new noncommercial educational (NCE) FM radio stations. The application cap is designed to provide a meaningful opportunity for applicants to file for new NCE FM stations and expand NCE service while, at the same time, deter speculative applications and procedural delays.
