SUMMARY: The staff grants a rulemaking petition filed by Katherine

service. The staff also grants a counterproposal filed by Fort Bend 
Broadcasting Company, licensee of Station KHTZ(FM), Ganado, Texas, to 
upgrade Station KHTZ(FM) from Channel 284C2 to Channel 235C and to 
modify its license accordingly.

DATES: Effective March 15, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a summary of the Commission's Report 
and Order, MB Docket No. 07-163, adopted January 27, 2010, and released 
January 29, 2010. 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 also be purchased from the 
Commission's copy contractor, Best Copy and Printing, Inc., 445 12th

company's website, <http://www.bcpiweb.com>.
    The Notice of Proposed Rule Making in this proceeding proposed the 
allotment of Channel 235A at Markham, Texas. As described above, Fort 
Bend Broadcasting proposed the upgrade of its Station KHTZ(FM), Ganado, 
Texas, from Channel 284C2 to Channel 235C at a new transmitter site and 
the modification of its license to specify operation on non-adjacent 
Channel 235C. The document explains that it was not necessary to 
compare these conflicting proposals because an alternate channel is 
available for allotment at Markham. Specifically, the document allots 
Channel 283A at Markham in lieu of Channel 235A. Because the conflict 
was resolved, the document also grants Fort Bend's counterproposal to 
upgrade Station KHTZ(FM) to Channel 235C. To accommodate this upgrade, 
the document substitutes Channel 284C3 for Channel 236C3 at Victoria, 
Texas, and modifies the license for Station KVIC(FM), Victoria, to 
specify operation on Channel 284C3. Finally, because Fort Bend's 
counterproposal involves licensed stations, the channel substitutions 
for Station KHTZ(FM) at Gandado, Texas, and for KVIC(FM), Victoria, 
Texas, will be updated in the Commission's Consolidated Data Base 
System [CDBS].
    This document does not contain new or modified information 
collection requirements subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 
(PRA), Public Law 104-13.In addition, therefore, it does not contain 
any new or modified 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 & Order 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).
    Provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 do not apply 
to this proceeding.
