SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a synopsis of the Commission's 
Notice of Proposed Rule Making, MB Docket Nos. 05-46 and 05-47, adopted 
February 2, 2005, and released February 7, 2005. 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 Street, SW., Washington, DC. The complete text of this 
decision may also be purchased from the Commission's copy contractor, 
Best Copy and Printing, Inc., 445 12th Street, SW., Room CY-B402, 
Washington, DC 20554, (800) 378-3160, or via the company's Web site, 
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 Commission further requests comment on a petition filed by 
Charles Crawford. Petitioner proposes the allotment of Channel 300A at 
Tennessee Colony, Texas, as a first local service. Channel 300A can be 
allotted at Tennessee Colony in compliance with the Commission's 
minimum distance separation requirements with a site restriction of 5.0 
km (3.1 miles) northeast of Tennessee Colony. The proposed coordinates 
for Channel 300A at Tennessee Colony are 31-51-38 North Latitude and 
95-47-49 West Longitude.
    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.
