The Government of the United States is prepared to communicate with the Canadian Government regarding proposed action on all applications for new or additional broadcast facilities which may involve interference with existing Canadian stations, provided the Canadian Government will likewise inform the Government of the United States of any new or additional facilities for broadcast sta- tions for which application has been made to it and which may in- volve interference with existing stations in the United States. It should be understood in this connection that the determination of interference would be made by means of the current mileage sepa- ration tables published by the Federal Communications Commission
