FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 73

[DA 08-31; MB Docket No. 05-295; RM-11280]


Radio Broadcasting Services; Cumberland, KY, Glade Spring, 
Marion, and Weber City, VA

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule; grant of petition for reconsideration.

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

SUMMARY: The staff reinstates and grants a rulemaking petition filed by 
JBL Broadcasting, Inc., seeking the substitution of Channel 274C3 for 
Channel 274A at Cumberland, Kentucky, the reallotment of Channel 274C3 
from Cumberland to Weber City, Virginia, and the associated 
modification of the license for Station WVEK-FM based upon changed 
circumstances that have occurred since the release of the Report and 
Order in this proceeding. Although JBL's rulemaking petition was denied 
due to short-spacings to two pending and cut-off applications, recent 
amendments to those applications removed the conflicts and now permit 
the rulemaking petition to be granted. With this action, the proceeding 
is terminated. See SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION.

DATES: Effective February 18, 2008.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Andrew J. Rhodes, Media Bureau, (202) 
418-2180.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a synopsis of the Commission's 
Memorandum Opinion and Order, MB Docket No. 05-295, adopted January 2, 
2008, and released January 4, 2008. 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 20554. The complete text of this decision 
may also be purchased from the Commission's copy contractor, Best Copy 
and Printing, Inc., Portals II, 445 12th Street, SW., Room CY-B402, 
Washington, DC 20554, telephone 1-800-378-3160 or http://www.BCPIWEB.com.
    To accommodate the reallotment of Station WVEK-FM to Weber City, 
Virginia, the Memorandum Opinion and Order also substituted Channel 
263A for Channel 274A at Glade Spring, Virginia, and modified the 
construction permit for Station WFYE(FM) accordingly. It also 
substituted Channel 273A for Channel 263A at Marion, Virginia, and 
modified the license for Station WOLD-FM, accordingly. The Report and 
Order in this proceeding previously denied JBL Broadcasting, Inc.'s 
rulemaking petition. See 71 FR 36741 (June 28, 2006).
    The reference coordinates for Channel 274C3 at Weber City, 
Virginia, are 36-31-36 NL and 82-35-13 WL, for Channel 263A at Glade 
Spring, Virginia, are 36-47-50 NL and 81-36-52 WL, and for Channel 273A 
at Marion, Virginia, are 36-54-10 NL and 81-32-27 WL.
    JBL Broadcasting, Inc.'s proposal was formerly a rule change to 
Section 73.202(b), the FM Table of Allotments. See 70 FR 70777 
(November 23, 2005). As a result of changes to the Commission's 
processing rules, modifications of FM channels for existing stations 
are no longer listed in Section 73.202(b) and are instead reflected in 
the Media Bureau's Consolidated Data Base System (CDBS). See Revision 
of Procedures Governing Amendments to FM Table of Allotments and 
Changes of Community of License in the Radio Broadcast Services, Report 
and Order, 71 FR 76208 (December 20, 2006). Nevertheless, a summary of 
the Memorandum Opinion and Order in the instant proceeding is being 
published in the Federal Register because part of JBL's proposal 
involved a channel substitution for a then vacant allotment at Glade 
Spring. Although the Memorandum Opinion and Order set forth an 
effective date of February 18, 2008, the modifications to the 
authorizations for Stations WVEK-FM, WFYE (FM), and WOLD-FM will be 
effective 30 days after publication of this summary in the Federal 
Register in compliance with Sections 1.427 and 1.429 of the 
Commission's rules.
    This document is not subject to the Congressional Review Act. (The 
Commission is, therefore, not required to submit a copy of this Report 
and Order to GAO, pursuant to the Congressional Review Act, see 5 
U.S.C. 801(a)(1)(A) because no changes are being made 47 CFR Section 
73.202(b)).
