community of license of Station KLGL(FM) from Richfield to Mount 
Pleasant, Utah. The Audio Division also denies a Petition for 
Reconsideration filed by Micro Communications, Inc., licensee of 
Station KCFM, Levan, Utah, and affirms the dismissal of Micro's 
Petition for Rule Making on technical grounds. See Supplementary 
Information.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a summary of the Commission's 
Memorandum Opinion and Order, MB Docket No. 04-258, adopted June 25, 
2010, and released June 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 Street, SW., Room CY-B402, Washington, DC

    The Report and Order in this proceeding had denied the 
counterproposal of Sanpete's predecessor in interest to reallot and 
change the community of license of its Station KLGL(FM) from Channel 
229C at Richfield, Utah, to Channel 229C at Mount Pleasant, Utah, 
because the proposed transmitter site was unavailable due to its 
location in a national forest. See 71 FR 29886 (May 24, 2006). The 
counterproposal was also denied because it would create ``white'' and 
``gray'' loss areas of 1,103 and 1,057 persons, respectively. The 
Memorandum Opinion and Order grants the Sanpete Counterproposal because 
Sanpete demonstrated that its proposed transmitter site is not located 
in the Mani-La National Forest. Likewise, Sanpete showed that its 
proposal would not create any ``white'' loss area. Rather the 
counterproposal would create a ``gray'' loss population of 1,057, but 
the staff found that this ``gray'' loss population was outweighed by 
the provision of a first local service to a community with a population 
of 2,707.
    The reference coordinates for Channel 229C at Mount Pleasant, Utah, 
are 39-37-52 NL and 111-19-47 WL. Sanpete's Counterproposal was 
formerly a rule change to Section 73.202(b), the FM Table of 
Allotments. 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). The CDBS will reflect Channel 
229C at Mount Pleasant, Utah, as the reserved assignment of Station 
KLGL in lieu of Channel 229C at Richfield.
    Micro's rule making petition had proposed the substitution of FM 
Channel 229C for Channel 244C at Levan, Utah, and the modification of 
its Station KCFM license to specify operation on Channel 229C. To 
accommodate this substitution, Micro had proposed to substitute Channel 
244C for Channel 229C at Richfield, Utah, and to modify the license for 
Station KLGL(FM), accordingly. The Memorandum Opinion and Order 
affirmed the dismissal of Micro's rule making petition because it was 
technically defective at the time it was filed. Specifically, Station 
KLGL had both a license and a construction permit at the time that the 
rulemaking petition was filed, and the proposed Channel 244C at the 
construction permit site at Richfield was short-spaced to two vacant 
allotments at Beaver, Utah, and Mesquite, Nevada.
    This document does not contain new or modified 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 this Report and 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.
