FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 73

[MB Docket No. 16-29; RM-11758; DA 16-543]


Television Broadcasting Services; Scottsbluff, Nebraska and 
Sidney, Nebraska

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: At the request of Gray Television License, LLC, licensee of 
station KDUH-TV, Channel 7, Scottsbluff, Nebraska, and New Rushmore 
Radio, Inc., former licensee of KDUH-TV (collectively, Petitioners), 
the Commission has before it an unopposed Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 
seeking to amend the Post-Transition Table of DTV Allotments to delete 
channel 7 at Scottsbluff, Nebraska and to substitute channel 7 at 
Sidney, Nebraska. Petitioners further request modification of KDUH-TV's 
license to specify Sidney as the station's community of license. 
Petitioners assert that their proposal to reallot channel 7 to Sidney 
is based on the technical specifications currently authorized for KDUH-
TV and, therefore, the new allotment will be mutually exclusive with 
the station's existing allotment. Petitioners further state that their 
proposal would meet the Commission's allotment priorities by providing 
Sidney with its first local television service. and that Scottsbluff 
would remain well-served after the proposed reallotment because full-
power television station KSTF(TV), channel 29, would remain licensed to 
that community.

DATES: Effective July 5, 2016.
