FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 73

[MB Docket No. 21-55; RM-11880; DA 21-476; FR ID 24746]


Television Broadcasting Services Kearney, Nebraska

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: On February 12, 2021, the Media Bureau, Video Division 
(Bureau) issued a notice of proposed rulemaking in response to a 
petition for rulemaking filed by KHGI Licensee, LLC (Licensee), the 
licensee of KHGI, channel 13 (ABC), Kearney, Nebraska, requesting the 
substitution of channel 18 for channel 13 at Kearney in the DTV Table 
of Allotments. For the reasons set forth in the Report and Order 
referenced below, the Bureau amends FCC regulations to substitute 
channel 18 for channel 13 at Kearney.

DATES: Effective May 7, 2021.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Joyce Bernstein, Media Bureau, at 
(202) 418-1647 or [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The proposed rule was published at 86 FR 
12161 on March 2, 2021. The Licensee filed comments in support of the 
petition reaffirming its commitment to applying for channel 18. No 
other comments were received. In support, the Licensee stated that the 
channel substitution will permit KHGI to better serve its viewers, who 
have experienced reception problems with VHF channel 13. The Bureau 
believes the public interest would be served by the channel 
substitution because it will result in improved service. In addition, 
operation on channel 18 will not result in any predicted loss of 
service and will increase the number of people served.
    This is a synopsis of the Commission's Report and Order, MB Docket 
No. 21-55; RM-11880; DA 21-476, adopted April 26, 2021, and released 
April 26, 2021. The full text of this document is available for

    This document does not contain information collection requirements 
subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. In 
addition, therefore, it does not contain any proposed information 
collection burden ``for small business concerns with fewer than 25 
employees,'' pursuant to the Small Business Paperwork Relief Act of 
2002, Public Law 107-198, see 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(4). Provisions of the 
Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 601-612, do not apply to 
this proceeding.
    The Commission will send a copy of this Report and 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).
