FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 73

[DA 09-1032; MB Docket No. 09-9; RM-11511]


Radio Broadcasting Services: Mineral and Nevada City, CA

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The staff grants in part a rulemaking petition filed by 
Shamrock Communications, Inc., by deleting vacant FM Channel 297A at 
Nevada City, California. However, the staff denies Shamrock's proposal 
to allot Channel 297A at Mineral, California, because the city-grade 
(70 dBu) contour of this proposed allotment does not encompass entirely 
the boundaries of Mineral as required under the Commission's Rules. See 
Supplementary Information, infra.

DATES: Effective June 22, 2009.

ADDRESSES: Secretary, Federal Communications Commission, 445 12th 
Street, SW., Washington, DC 20554.

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a synopsis of the Commission's 
Report and Order, MB Docket No. 09-9, adopted May 6, 2009, and released 
May 8, 2009. The full text of this Report and Order 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.
    The Notice of Proposed Rule Making in this proceeding solicited 
comment on deleting the Nevada City allotment. See 74 FR 7847 (February 
20, 2009). No parties filed comments expressing an interest in 
retaining or applying for this vacant allotment. In addition, 
Shamrock's rulemaking petition was filed as part of a hybrid 
application and rulemaking proposal involving Shamrock's concurrently 
filed minor change application (File No. BMPH-20071108ACY). In this 
application, Shamrock proposes the reallotment of Channel 297C from 
Alturus, California, to Fernley, Nevada, and the associated 
modification of its construction permit for a new FM station at 
Alturus. The modification of the Alturus construction permit is 
contingent upon the deletion of the Nevada City allotment. The Report 
and Order notes that Shamrock's application is being granted 
simultaneously with the release of the Report and Order.
    The Report and Order 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 will send a copy of the Report and Order in 
this proceeding in a report to be sent to Congress and the Government 
Accountability Office pursuant to the Congressional Review Act, see 5 
U.S.C. 801(a)(1)(A).
