FCC Meeting, July 13th, Deletion of Scheduled Item "Satellite Radio's Impact on Terrestrial"

We posted this on July 7th when announced:

"FCC's Next Meeting: Satellite Radio's Impact on Terrestrial
The FCC will be tackling the issue of Satellite Radio's impact on Terrestrial Radio at their next meeting. The agenda for the FCC Open Hearing includes the item"Digital Audio Broadcasting Systems And Their Impact On The Terrestrial Radio Broadcast Service" - scheduled for next Thursday, July 13th."

But, I checked the FCC website (www.fcc.gov) today, and found this:
