Radio Broadcasting Services; Peach Springs, Arizona

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: This document requests comments on a petition for rule making 
filed by ITM, LLC, proposing to amend the FM Table of Allotments, by 
substituting Channel 287A for vacant Channel 280A at Peach Springs, 
Arizona to accommodate the hybrid modification application for Station 
KIDD(FM) that proposes to upgrade from Channel 280A to Channel 280C2 at 
Fort Mohave, Arizona. A staff engineering analysis indicates that 
Channel 287A can be allotted to Peach Springs, Arizona, consistent with 
the minimum distance separation requirements of the Commission's rules, 
with a site restriction of 12.6 km (7.8 miles) northeast of the 
community. The reference coordinates are 35-33-18 NL and 113-18-02 WL.

DATES: Comments must be filed on or before May 1, 2023, and reply 
comments on or before May 16, 2023.

ADDRESSES: Secretary, Federal Communications Commission, 45 L Street 
NE, Washington, DC 20554. In addition to filing comments with the FCC, 
interested parties should serve the counsel to petitioner as follows: 
Mark B. Denbo, c/o ITM, LLC, SMITHWICK & BELENDIUK, P.C., 5028

Communications Commission's (Commission) Notice of Proposed Rule 
Making, MB Docket No. 23-45, adopted March 7, 2023, and released March 
8, 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 proposed 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 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.
    For information regarding proper filing procedures for comments,
