                47 CFR Part 73
                [MB Docket No. 21-55; RM-11880; DA 21-476; FR ID 24746]
                Television Broadcasting Services Kearney, Nebraska
                AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.
                ACTION: Final rule.
                -----------------------------------------------------------------------
                SUMMARY: On February 12, 2021, the Media Bureau, Video Division
                (Bureau) issued a notice of proposed rulemaking in response to a
                petition for rulemaking filed by KHGI Licensee, LLC (Licensee), the
                licensee of KHGI, channel 13 (ABC), Kearney, Nebraska, requesting the
                substitution of channel 18 for channel 13 at Kearney in the DTV Table
                of Allotments. For the reasons set forth in the Report and Order
                referenced below, the Bureau amends FCC regulations to substitute
                channel 18 for channel 13 at Kearney.
                DATES: Effective May 7, 2021.
                FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Joyce Bernstein, Media Bureau, at
                (202) 418-1647 or [email protected].
                SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The proposed rule was published at 86 FR
                12161 on March 2, 2021. The Licensee filed comments in support of the
                petition reaffirming its commitment to applying for channel 18. No
                other comments were received. In support, the Licensee stated that the
                channel substitution will permit KHGI to better serve its viewers, who
                have experienced reception problems with VHF channel 13. The Bureau
                believes the public interest would be served by the channel
                substitution because it will result in improved service. In addition,
                operation on channel 18 will not result in any predicted loss of
                service and will increase the number of people served.
                 This is a synopsis of the Commission's Report and Order, MB Docket
                No. 21-55; RM-11880; DA 21-476, adopted April 26, 2021, and released

                 This document does not contain 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). Provisions of the
                Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 601-612, do not apply to
                this proceeding.
                 The Commission will send a copy of this Report and 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).
