FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
47 CFR Part 73
[DA 24-241; FR ID 209156]
Radio Broadcasting Services; Various Locations
AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document amends the Table of FM Allotments, of the
Federal Communications Commission's (Commission) rules, by reinstating
certain channels as a vacant FM allotment in various communities. The
FM allotments were previously removed from the FM Table because a
construction permit and/or license was granted. These FM allotments are
now considered vacant because of the cancellation of the associated FM
authorizations or the dismissal of long-form auction FM applications. A
staff engineering analysis confirms that all of the vacant FM
allotments complies with the Commission's regulations. The window
period for filing applications for these vacant FM allotments will not
be opened at this time. Instead, the issue of opening these allotments
for filing will be addressed by the Commission in subsequent order.
DATES: Effective March 22, 2024.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rolanda F. Smith, Media Bureau, (202)
418-2700.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a synopsis of the Commission's
Order, adopted March 12, 2024, and released March 12, 2024. The full
text of this Commission decision is available online at https://apps.fcc.gov/ecfs/. The full text of this document can also be
downloaded in Word or Portable Document Format (PDF) at https://www.fcc.gov/edocs. This document does not contain information
collection requirements subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
Public Law 104-13. The Commission will not send a copy of the Order in
a report to be sent to Congress and the Government Accountability
Office pursuant to the Congressional Review Act, see 5 U.S.C.
801(a)(1)(A), because these allotments were previously reported.
