Abstract
The Commission has adopted an MO&O addressing 231 petitions for reconsideration of the Sixth R&O. This MO&O generally affirms the DTV channel allotments and other technical rules and procedures with certain minor modifications, including changes in its DTV allotment standards, operating rules and specific DTV allotments. This action will facilitate the conversion of over-the-air television broadcasting from the existing analog system to the new digital system.
