SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a synopsis of the Commission's

Notice of Proposed Rule Making, MB Docket No. 09-18, adopted February 25, 2009, and released February 27, 2009. The full text of this

Commission decision is available for inspection and copying during regular business hours at the FCC's Reference Information Center,

Portals II, 445 Twelfth Street, SW., Room CY-A257, Washington, DC 20554. The complete text of this decision may also be purchased from the Commission's duplicating contractor, Best Copy and Printing, Inc., 445 12th Street, SW., Room CY-B402, Washington, DC 20554, telephone 1- 800-378-3160 or http://www.BCPIWEB.com. This document does not contain proposed information collection requirements subject to the Paperwork

Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. In addition, therefore, it does not contain any proposed information collection burden ``for small business concerns with fewer than 25 employees,'' pursuant to the Small

Business Paperwork Relief Act of 2002, Public Law 107-198, see 44

U.S.C. 3506(c)(4).

The proposed channel substitution at Dulac is part of a hybrid application and rulemaking proceeding. In the application (File No.

BPH-20090129AMR), Sunburst Media-Louisiana proposes the upgrade of

Channel 244C3 to Channel 244C2 at Morgan City, Louisiana, the reallotment of Channel 244C2 to Gray, Louisiana, and the associated modification of the Station KMYO-FM license. See 74 FR 9399 (March 4, 2009).

Provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 do not apply to this proceeding.

Members of the public should note that from the time a Notice of

Proposed Rule Making is issued until the matter is no longer subject to

Commission consideration or court review, all ex parte contacts are prohibited in Commission proceedings, such as this one, which involve channel allotments. See 47 CFR 1.1204(b) for rules governing permissible ex parte contact.

For information regarding proper filing procedures for comments, see 47 CFR 1.415 and 1.420.
