application amendments filed on or

after that date, and will not accept for

filing any additional such modification

applications and amendments, but for

the following limited exception which

will afford existing licensees alternative

means of meeting the threshold

construction requirement. To be

acceptable for filing, modification

applications or amendments to them

must meet both of the following criteria:

• Do not involve any enlargement in

any portion of the proposed area of

operation; and

• Do not change frequency blocks,

other than to delete a frequency

block(s).

5. Accordingly, it is ordered, That

pending applications for new 39 GHz

frequency assignments or for

modification to 39 GHz licenses shall be

held in abeyance and not processed

until further notice, except as otherwise

indicated in paragraphs 1 through 4

above. It is further ordered, That

applications for modification of 39 GHz

licenses or amendments to pending 39

GHz applications shall not be accepted

for filing until further notice, except as

indicated in paragraphs 1 through 4

above. The imposition of these changes

in application processing is procedural

in nature and, therefore, is not subject

to the notice and comment and effective

date requirements of the Administrative

Procedure Act.3 In any event, good

cause exists for imposing immediately

the processing changes without

following these requirements because

the changes are necessary to avoid

impeding the purpose of any new rules

adopted in this proceeding.
