Commission proposes to amend 47 CFR 

part 25 as follows: 

PART 25—SATELLITE 

COMMUNICATIONS 

■ 1. The authority citation for part 25 

continues to read as follows: 

Authority: 47 U.S.C. 154, 301, 302, 303, 

307, 309, 310, 319, 332, 605, and 721, unless 

otherwise noted. 

■ 2. Amend § 25.261 by revising 

paragraph (b), revising the first sentence 

in paragraph (c)(1), and adding 

paragraph (d) to read as follows: 

§ 25.261 Sharing among NGSO FSS space 

stations. 

* * * * * 

(b) Coordination. NGSO FSS licensees 

and market access recipients must 

coordinate in good faith the use of 

commonly authorized frequencies 

regardless of their processing round 

status, unless otherwise provided by the 

Commission. 

(c) * * * 

(1) Each of n (number of) satellite 

networks involved that were licensed or 

granted market access through the same 

processing round must select 1/n of the

(d) Protection of earlier-round 

systems. Prior to commencing 

operations, an NGSO FSS licensee or 

market access recipient must either 

certify that it has completed a 

coordination agreement with any

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission. 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Audio Division, on its 

own motion, proposes the deletion of 

seven vacant allotments in various 

communities in Arizona, Oklahoma, 

Oregon, Texas, Vermont and Wyoming. 

We tentatively conclude that it is in the 

public interest to delete seven vacant 

allotments that have been offered in two 

FM auctions. No bids were entered for 

these allotments in the recently 

completed FM Auction 109. These 

permits are now considered unsold, and 

the allotments remain vacant. Deletion 

of these allotments may create other 

opportunities in nearby communities for 

new FM allotments or upgrades of 

existing stations. Therefore, we believe 

that the proposed deletion of these 

vacant allotments may promote a more 

effective and efficient use of the FM 

broadcast spectrum. 

DATES: Comments must be filed on or 

before February 14, 2022 and reply 

comments on or before March 1, 2022.

Commission, 45 L Street NE,

and released December 23, 2021. The 

full text of this Commission decision is 

available online at https://apps.fcc.gov/ 

ecfs/. 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.

47 CFR Part 73 

[DA 21–1587; MB Docket No. 21–483; RM– 

11913] 

Radio Broadcasting Services; 

Hamilton, Goldthwaite, and San Saba, 

Texas 

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission. 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: This Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking and Order to Show Cause 

seeks comment on a proposal requested 

by B Plus Broadcasting, LLC (B Plus), to 

create a new FM allotment for a Class 

A station on Channel 263 at Hamilton, 

Texas. It also orders S Content 

Marketing, LLC (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, 

Texas. 

DATES: Comments must be filed on or 

before February 7, 2022, and reply 

comments on or before February 22, 

2022. 

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 

following: Alan E. Brown, P.O. Box 2, 

Goldthwaite, TX 79844 (petitioner); and 

Allan G. Moskowitz, Esq., 10845 

Tuckahoe Way, North Potomac, MD 

20878 (counsel to the petitioner). 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Nazifa Sawez, Media Bureau, (202) 418–

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 http://

www.fcc.gov/ndbedp. 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 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.

filing procedures for comments, see 47
