licensees who either (1) commence program tests, (2) replace the
antennas, or (3) request facilities modifications and are issued a new
construction permit must satisfy all complaints of blanketing
interference which are received by the station during a one-year
period.
47 CFR 73.318(c) states that a permittee collocating with one or
more existing stations and beginning program tests on or after January

Under 47 CFR 73.88, and 73.685(d), the license is financially
responsible for resolving complaints of interference within one year of
