SUMMARY: This document sets forth a proposal to amend the FM Table of 
Allotments, section 73.202(b) of the Commission's rules. The Audio 
Division requests comment on a petition filed by KERM, Inc. pursuant to

change the community of license for Station KURM-FM from Southwest 
City, Missouri, to Gravette, Arkansas, and to change the FM Table of 
Allotments by deleting Channel 262A at Southwest City, Missouri, and by 
adding Channel 262A at Gravette, Arkansas, as the community's first 
local aural broadcast service. The proposed coordinates for Channel 
262A at Gravette, Arkansas, are 36-25-54 NL and 94-30-46 WL. The 
allotment will require a site restriction of 5.4 km (3.4 miles) west of 
Gravette.

comments on or before May 23, 2006.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a synopsis of the Commission's 
Notice of Proposed Rule Making, MB Docket No. 06-59; adopted March 15, 
2006, and released March 17, 2006. The full text of this Commission 
document 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

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 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.
