Nunc pro tunc

[Dan Strassberg <dan.strassberg@worldnet.att.net>]

Back in March, when the FCC dismissed WKOX's application for 50 kW-U, I was
puzzled by a note in the FCC database. The note said that the application
had been dismissed NPT. I made several inquiries about the meaning of NPT,
but nobody that I asked knew. I just remembered a (Latin, I assume) term
that appears in many of the summaries of FCC actions. The term is nunc pro
tunc. I wonder if nunc and tunc aren't, themselves, abbreviations of longer
Latin words. Counselor, can you explain, in layman's terms, what nunc pro
tunc means? Conceivably, if we knew, we might have a clue about why the FCC
dismissed the application.
