FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 73

[DA 21-446; FRS 24122]


Radio Broadcasting Services; Various Locations

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This document amends the FM Table of Allotments, of the 
Commission's rules, by reinstating certain vacant FM allotments. These 
FM allotments are considered vacant because of the cancellation of the 
associated authorizations and licenses, or the dismissal of long-form 
auction applications. Theses vacant FM allotments have previously 
undergone notice and comment rule making. Reinstatement of the vacant 
allotments is merely a ministerial action to effectuate licensing 
procedures. Therefore, we find for good cause that further notice and 
comment are unnecessary.

DATES: Effective May 5, 2021.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rolanda F. Smith, Media Bureau, (202) 
418-2700.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a synopsis of the Commission's 
Order, adopted April 19, 2021 and released April 20, 2021. The full 
text of this Commission decision is available online at http://apps.fcc.gov/ecfs/. This document does not contain information 
collection requirements subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 
Public Law 104-13. The Commission will not send a copy of the Order in 
a report to be sent to Congress and the Government Accountability 
Office pursuant to the Congressional Review Act, see 5 U.S.C. 
801(a)(1)(A) because the Order is a ministerial action.
