FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 73

[DA 11-1689]


Radio Broadcasting Services; Various Locations

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Audio Division, on its own motion, updates the FM Table of 
Allotments to reinstate certain vacant FM allotments. Formerly, the FM 
Table listed all vacant FM allotments as well as FM channels and 
communities occupied by authorized facilities. In 2006, the Commission 
removed the allotments of authorized and awarded FM facilities from the 
FM Table in order to accommodate the new application procedures for 
radio stations to change their communities of license. However, when an 
authorization is cancelled, the vacant allotment must be reinstated in 
the FM Table to preserve the opportunity to license a future station in 
the specified community. Accordingly, we are adding to the FM Table of 
Allotments thirty allotments in various communities that are considered 
vacant FM allotments.

DATES: Effective November 1, 2011.

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

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rolanda F. Smith, Media Bureau, (202) 
418-2180.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a synopsis of the Commission's 
Report and Order, adopted October 6, 2011, and released October 7, 
2011. The full text of this Commission decision is available for 
inspection and copying during normal business hours in the

document 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 
not send a copy of this Order pursuant to the Congressional Review Act, 
see 5 U.S.C. 801(a)(1)(A), because these allotments were previously 
reported.
