Status and meaning Editorial status. Not reviewed by an editor . An exploratory record that no editor has accepted. This status does not say whether a person has read any linked passage. Each evidence record above shows how it was checked.
Relation. A regulator accepted an application for filing, opening it to comment. Acceptance for filing is not approval.
Date. Release date of the FCC public notice, a regulator’s own record; acceptance for filing is a procedural step, not a grant (integrator’s correction before the audit: basis was "approval"). Date of issue as the text gives it (the document date or date line), recorded as its date of publication as in earlier admissions; no signing event is shown.
