Commission in the processing of applications for television broadcast facilities, to promote the early establishment of television broadcast services throughout the country, and at the same time, to insure that all persons have a fair and equal opportunity to apply for available facilities. It is believed the foregoing amendments will subsequently contribute to the attainment of these goals. 8. Under the proposal herein (Section 1.382(d)) the Commission will continue to process applications filed prior to the effective date of these amendments. Such applications, however, will be required to be the subject of publication, so that should the Commission fail to take action within the appropriate 30-day period, the cutoff procedure here proposed will be applicable and will preclude the consideration of competing applications filed thereafter. 9. Authority for the adoption of the proposed amendment is contained in Sections 1, 4(i), 4(j) and 303(r) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended. 10. Any interested party who is of the opinion that the proposed amendment should not be adopted or should not be adopted in the form set forth herein may file with the Commission on or before August 10, 1953, a written statement or brief setting forth his comments. Comments in support of the proposed amendment may also be filed on or before the same date. Comments or briefs in reply to the original comments may be filed within 10 days from the last day for filing said original comments or briefs. The Commission will consider all such comments that are submitted before taking action in this matter, and if any comments appear to warrant the holding of a hearing or oral argument, notice of the time and place of such hearing or oral argument will be given. 11. In accordance with the provisions of Section 1.784 of the Commission Rules and Regulations, an original ancj 14 copies of all statements, briefs, or comments shall be furnished the Commission.
