    The filing window will open on June 25, 2001 and close on June 29,

a long-form (FCC Form 301) application. Therefore, parties interested 
in filing for these stations should understand that it is likely that 
their application will be mutually exclusive with a previously-filed 
application and that selection among mutually exclusive applicants for 
these stations will be via the Commission's broadcast competitive 
bidding rules. See 47 CFR 73.5000 et seq.
