The Commission has before it for consideration: (i) license renewal applications from the above-listed radio stations in Texas; (ii) a timely filed Petition to Deny by the Texas State Conference of Branches of the NAACP and its various local, branches (collectively "NAACP") against the license renewal KGNC-FM©s call sign was changed from KMLT(FM) effective November 2, 1992. 879 applications of the above-listed radio stations; p (iii) oppositions filed by the licensees; and (iv) the licensees© responses to staff letters of inquiry. II. BACKGROUND 2. NAACP alleges that the challenged stations violated our Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Rule and policies. Accordingly, it requests that we conduct an investigation of the employment practices of the stations pursuant to Bilingual Bicultural Coalition on Mass Media, Inc. v. FCC. 595 F.2d 621 (B.C. Cir. 1978) (Bilingual) and designate the renewal applications for hearing. The licensees deny NAACP 1 s allegations and request unconditional renewals. III. PLEADINGS 3. Standing. The licensee of Stations KGNC/KGNC-FM argues that the declaration under penalty of perjury filed by NAACP regarding these stations is insufficient to establish standing because the President of the Amarillo Branch does not demonstrate that he is a resident within the service area of the stations.
