SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a synopsis of the Commission's Notice of Proposed Rule Making and Order to Show Cause, MB Docket No. 21-483, adopted December 17, 2021, and released December 17, 2021. The full text of this document will be available for public inspection and copying via ECFS. The full text of this document can also be downloaded in Word or Portable Document Format (PDF) at

                     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). The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking component of this document solicits comment on the proposed allotment of Channel 263A at Hamilton, Texas, because it could result in a second local service to that community as proposed by B Plus Broadcasting, LLC. A staff engineering analysis reveals that Channel 263A can be allotted to Hamilton in conformity with the FCC's rules at reference coordinates 31-39-48.1 NL and 98-21-29.4 WL. The Order to Show Cause requires S Content to show why the license of KNUZ(FM), San Saba, Texas, should not be modified to specify operation on Channel 291A in lieu of Channel 224A at San Saba to accommodate the new FM station on Channel 263A at Hamilton and the substitution of Channel 224A in lieu of Channel 263A for KRNR(FM), Goldthwaite, Texas. 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
