adopted included the requirement that Class A stations file an
application for modification of license (FCC Form 2100, Schedule F)--
73.6002(b)(2) when seeking to change their community of license. In
addition, Class A stations requesting to downgrade to low power

administrative change is being made to rule 73.6002(a)(2) that provides
that Class A station licenses are filed on FCC Form 2100, Schedule F

this just change the language of the rule to refer to the correct form.
