FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 73

[DA 24-241; FR ID 209156]


Radio Broadcasting Services; Various Locations

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This document amends the Table of FM Allotments, of the 
Federal Communications Commission's (Commission) 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 regulations. 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 March 22, 2024.

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a synopsis of the Commission's 
Order, adopted March 12, 2024, and released March 12, 2024. 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.
