Channel 288A, Haynesville, Louisiana, proposing the allotment of 
Channel 286A to Haynesville, Louisiana, as a ``backfill'' allotment to 
prevent removal of Haynesville's potential first local service. A staff

kilometers (2.9 miles) south of the community. The reference 
coordinates are 33-00-12 NL and 93-08-19 WL.

comments on or before May 6, 2014.

    Members of the public should note that from the time a Notice of 
Proposed Rule Making is issued until the matter is no longer subject to 
Commission consideration or court review, all ex parte contacts are 
prohibited in Commission proceedings, such as this one, which involve 
channel allotments. See 47 CFR 1.1204(b) for rules governing 
permissible ex parte contacts.
