FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 73

[DA 23-111; FR ID 127148]


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 channels as a vacant FM 
allotment in various communities. The FM allotments were previously 
removed from the FM Table because a construction permit and/or license 
was granted. These FM allotments are now considered vacant because of 
the cancellation of the associated FM authorizations or the dismissal 
of long-form auction FM applications. A staff engineering analysis 
confirms that all of the vacant FM allotments complies with the 
Commission's minimum distance separation and city-grade coverage 
requirements. The window period for filing applications for these 
vacant FM allotments will not be opened at this time. Instead, the 
issue of opening these allotments for filing will be addressed by the 
Commission in subsequent order.

DATES: Effective February 27, 2023.

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a synopsis of the Commission's 
Order, adopted February 8, 2023 and released February 9, 2023. The full 
text of this Commission decision is available online at https://apps.fcc.gov/ecfs/. The full text of this document can also be 
downloaded in Word or Portable Document Format (PDF) at https://www.fcc.gov/edocs. 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 these allotments were previously reported.
