ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: This document sets forth a proposal to amend the FM Table of

Cochise Broadcasting LLC, licensee of FM Station KZXK, Doney Park,

Arizona. Petitioner proposes the substitution of FM Channel 293C2 for vacant Channel 255C2 at Leupp, Arizona. The purpose of the requested channel substitution at Custer is to allow FM Station KZXK to go from being a short-spaced station authorized pursuant to Section 73.215 of the Commission's rules and using a directional antenna to a fully- spaced station using an omnidirectional antenna. Channel 293C2 can be allotted at Leupp in compliance with the Commission's minimum distance separation requirements without site restriction at 35-17-02 North

Latitude and 110-57-52 West Longitude. See SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION infra.

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

Notice of Proposed Rule Making, MB Docket No. 09-98, adopted June 17, 2009, and released June 19, 2009. The full text of this Commission decision is available for inspection and copying during normal business hours in the FCC Reference Information Center (Room CY-A257), 445 12th

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 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 contacts.

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