Television Broadcasting Services 

Tulare, California 

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Video Division, Media 

Bureau (Bureau) has before it a Notice 

of Proposed Rulemaking issued in 

response to a Petition for Rulemaking 

filed by One Ministries, Inc. (Petitioner). 

The Petitioner requests the allotment of 

reserved noncommercial educational 

(NCE) channel *3 to Tulare, California 

(Tulare), in the Table of TV Allotments 

as the community’s first local television 

service. The Petitioner filed comments 

in support of the petition, as required by 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with RULES1
73536 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 206 / Thursday, October 26, 2023 / Rules and Regulations 

the Commission’s rules, reaffirming its 

commitment to apply for channel *3, 

and if authorized, to construct the 

facility. 

DATES: Effective November 27, 2023. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Joyce Bernstein, Media Bureau, at (202) 

418–1647 or Joyce.Bernstein@fcc.gov; or 

Emily Harrison, Media Bureau, at (202) 

418–1665 or Emily.Harrison@fcc.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

proposed rule was published at 88 FR 

57032 on August 22, 2023. The 

Petitioner filed comments in support of 

the petition reaffirming its commitment 

to apply for channel *3. No other 

comments were received. 

The Bureau believes the public 

interest would be served by allotting 

channel *3 at Tulare, which has a 

population of 70,733 and clearly 

qualifies for community of license status 

for allotment purposes. As stated in the 

NPRM, Tulare is known for its 

agricultural production and is home to 

the nation’s largest single-site dairy 

complex. In addition, Petitioner states 

that Tulare has a mayor and five council 

members; police, public works, 

planning, engineering, and community 

and economic development 

departments; a library, school district; 

and numerous businesses and places of 

worship. In addition, the proposal 

would result in a first local service to 

Tulare under the Commission’s second 

allotment priority. The Petitioner 

demonstrates, and a staff engineering 

analysis confirms, that channel *3 can 

be allotted to Tulare consistent with the 

minimum geographic spacing 

requirements for new DTV allotments in 

section 73.623(d) of the rules. In 

addition, the allotment point complies 

with section 73.625(a)(1) of the rules as 

the entire community of Tulare is 

encompassed by the 35 dBm contour. 

This is a synopsis of the 

Commission’s Report and Order, MB 

Docket No. 23–279; RM–11956; DA 23– 

981, adopted October 16, 2023, and 

released October 16, 2023. The full text

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.

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Video Division, Media 

Bureau (Bureau) has before it a Notice 

of Proposed Rulemaking issued in 

response to a Petition for Rulemaking 

filed by Vision Broadcasting Network, 

Inc. (Petitioner). The Petitioner requests 

the allotment of reserved 

noncommercial educational (NCE) 

channel *4 to Alamogordo, New Mexico 

(Alamogordo), in the Table of TV 

Allotments as the community’s first 

local television service. The Petitioner 

filed comments in support of the 

petition, as required by the 

Commission’s rules (rules), reaffirming 

its commitment to apply for channel *4 

and if authorized, to construct the 

facility. 

DATES: Effective November 27, 2023. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Emily Harrison, Media Bureau, at (202)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

proposed rule was published at 88 FR 

58210 on August 25, 2023. The 

Petitioner filed comments in support of 

the petition reaffirming its commitment 

to apply for channel *4. No other 

comments were received. 

The Bureau believes the public 

interest would be served by allotting 

channel *4 at Alamogordo, which, as of 

2020, has a population of 30,898 and 

clearly qualifies for community of 

license status for allotment purposes. 

Alamogordo is the county seat of Otero 

County and has its own seat of 

government consisting of a mayor, six 

Commissioners, and a city manager, as 

well as its own police, fire, public 

works, utility, planning, engineering, 

and community and economic 

development departments. Alamogordo 

also has a library, school district, 

numerous businesses and places of 

worship, and its own ZIP Code. The 

proposal would also result in a first 

local service to Alamogordo under the 

Commission’s second allotment priority. 

The Petitioner demonstrates, and a staff 

engineering analysis confirms, that 

channel *4 can be allotted to 

Alamogordo consistent with the 

minimum geographic spacing
