FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 73

[DA 05-2215; MB Docket No. 05-246; RM-11263]


Radio Broadcasting Services; Meyersville and San Antonio, TX

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document requests comments on a Petition for Rule Making 
filed by Charles Crawford requesting the allotment of Channel 261A at 
Meyersville, Texas, as that community's first local aural transmission 
service. To accommodate this allotment, Petitioner requests the 
reclassification of FM Station KCYY, Channel 262C, San Antonio, Texas, 
to specify operation on Channel 262C0 pursuant to the reclassification 
procedures adopted by the Commission. See 1998 Biennial Regulatory 
Review--Streamlining of Radio Technical Rules in Parts 73 and 74 of the 
Commission's Rules, 65 FR 79773 (December 20, 2000). In response to an 
Order to Show Cause why Station KCYY should not be downgraded from 
Channel 262C to 262C0, the licensee of FM Station KCYY stated that it 
would file an application meeting minimum Class C FM standards within 
the period required by our rules. Since such an application has not 
been filed, the Commission proposes to reclassify Station KCYY to Class 
C0. Channel 261A can be allotted with a site restriction 2.0 kilometers 
(1.2 miles) southwest of Meyersville, at reference coordinates 28-54-58 
NL and 97-19-37 WL. To accommodate the proposed allotment, the 
Commission proposes the reclassification of FM Station KCYY to specify 
operation on Channel 262C0.

DATES: Comments must be filed on or before September 19, 2005, and 
reply comments on or before October 4, 2005. Any counterproposal filed 
in this proceeding need only protect FM Station KCYY, San Antonio, 
Texas, as a Class C0 allotment.

ADDRESSES: Federal Communications Commission, 445 Twelfth Street, SW., 
Washington, DC 20554. In addition to filing comments with the FCC, 
interested parties should serve the petitioner as follows: Charles 
Crawford, 4553 Bordeaux Avenue, Dallas, Texas 75205.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: R. Barthen Gorman, Media Bureau, (202) 
418-2180.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a synopsis of the Commission's 
Notice of Proposed Rule Making, MB Docket No. 05-246, adopted July 27, 
2005, and released July 29, 2005. The complete text of this decision 
may also be purchased from the Commission's duplicating contractor, 
Best Copy and Printing, Inc., 445 12th Street, SW., Room CY-B402, 
Washington, DC 20054, telephone 1-800-378-3160 or 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).
    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.
