# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

                    This is a synopsis of the Commission's Notice of Proposed Rule Making, MB Docket No. 12-92, adopted April 5, 2012, and released April 6, 2012. The full text of this Commission decision is available for inspection and copying during normal business hours in the FCC's Reference Information Center at Portals II, CY-A257, 445 Twelfth Street SW., Washington, DC 20554. This document may also be purchased from the Commission's duplicating contractors, Best Copy and Printing, Inc., 445 12th Street SW., Room CY-B402, Washington, DC 20554, telephone 1-800-378-3160 or via email                     *www.BCPIWEB.com.*                     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 1980 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, see 47 CFR 1.415 and 1.420.
