Under the proposal herein (Section 1.382(d)) the Commission will continue to process applications filed prior to the effective date of these amendments.

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.
