FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 73

[MB Docket No. 11-20; RM-11619, DA 11-750]


Television Broadcasting Services; Kalispell, MT

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Commission has before it a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 
issued in response to a petition for rulemaking filed by Montana State 
University (``MSU'') requesting that channel *46 be transferred from 
the Pre-Transition DTV Table of Allotments, 47 CFR 73.622(b), to the 
Post-Transition Table of DTV Allotments, 47 CFR 73.622(i). MSU states 
that the grant of its rulemaking petition and application will serve 
the public interest by eliminating a substantial noncommercial 
educational white space area in northwest Montana and will further the 
Congressional mandate in Section 396(a)(9) of the Communications Act to 
ensure that all citizens have access to public telecommunications 
services.

DATES: This rule is effective June 13, 2011.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Adrienne Y. Denysyk, 
[email protected], Media Bureau, (202) 418-1600.
