23, 1996, and released August 30, 1996. The full text of this

    Channel 272A was allotted to Strasburg, Colorado, in MM Docket No. 
89-61. See Report and Order, 4 FCC Rcd 7570 (1989), 54 FR 45735, 
October 31, 1989. However, Channel 272A at Strasburg, Colorado, does 
not appear in 47 CFR 73.202(b), the Table of Allotments. Therefore, as

amendment to the FM Table of Allotments to include Channel 272A at 
Strasburg, Colorado, at the conclusion of the instant rule making 
proceeding.
    Provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility Act of l980 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.
