47 CFR Part 73

Television Broadcasting Services; Mount Vernon, Illinois

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: In this document, the Commission issued in response to a 
petition for rulemaking filed by WPXS, Inc. (``WPXS''), the licensee of 
WPXS(TV), channel 21, Mount Vernon, Illinois, requesting the 
substitution of channel 11 for channel 21 at Mount Vernon. WPXS filed 
comments reaffirming its interest in the proposed channel substitution 
and states that it will apply for the channel if allotted,

[[Page 67356]]

and promptly construct if authorized. Substituting channel 11 for 
channel 21 will further the Commission's goal of clearing UHF spectrum 
for new uses and allow WPXS to provide improved service to viewers, 
which serves the public interest.

DATES: This rule is effective December 15, 2014.
