available online at http://apps.fcc.gov/ecfs/. This document does not 
contain proposed information collection requirements subject to the

therefore, it does not contain any proposed information collection 
burden ``for small business concerns with fewer than 25 employees,''

107-198, see 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(4).
    Provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility Act of l980 do not apply 
to this proceeding.
    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.
