alternatives and, when regulation is 

necessary, to select regulatory 

approaches that maximize net benefits 

(including potential economic, 

environmental, public health and safety 

effects, and other advantages; 

distributive impacts; and equity). 

Executive Order 13563 (Improving 

Regulation and Regulatory Review) 

emphasizes the importance of 

quantifying both costs and benefits, 

reducing costs, harmonizing rules, and 

promoting flexibility. The Office of 

Information and Regulatory Affairs has 

determined that this rule is not a 

significant regulatory action under 

Executive Order 12866. The Regulatory 

Impact Analysis associated with this 

rulemaking can be found as a 

supporting document at 

www.regulations.gov. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act 

The Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 

U.S.C. 601 et seq. (RFA), imposes 

certain requirements on Federal agency 

rules that are subject to the notice and 

comment requirements of the 

Administrative Procedure Act (APA), 5 

U.S.C. 553(b). This final rule is exempt 

from the notice and comment 

requirements of the APA because the 

2015 Act directed the Department to 

issue the annual adjustments without 

regard to section 553 of the APA. 

Therefore, the requirements of the RFA 

applicable to notice and comment 

rulemaking do not apply to this rule. 

Accordingly, the Department is not 

required either to certify that the final 

rule would not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities or to conduct 

a regulatory flexibility analysis. 

Unfunded Mandates 

The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

of 1995 requires, at 2 U.S.C. 1532, that 

agencies prepare an assessment of 

anticipated costs and benefits before 

issuing any rule that may result in the 

expenditure by State, local, and tribal 

governments, in the aggregate, or by the 

private sector, of $100 million or more 

(adjusted annually for inflation) in any 

one year. This final rule will have no 

such effect on State, local, and tribal 

governments, or on the private sector. 

Paperwork Reduction Act 

This final rule contains no provisions 

constituting a collection of information 

under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 

1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501–3521). 

Assistance Listing 

The Assistance Listing number and 

title for the program affected by this 

document is 64.114, Veterans Housing 

Guaranteed and Insured Loans. 

Congressional Review Act 

Pursuant to Subtitle E of the Small 

Business Regulatory Enforcement 

Fairness Act of 1996 (known as the 

Congressional Review Act) (5 U.S.C. 801 

et seq.), the Office of Information and 

Regulatory Affairs designated this rule 

as not a major rule, as defined by 5 

U.S.C. 804(2).

Television Broadcasting Services Fort 

Bragg, California 

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: On September 20, 2021, the 

Media Bureau, Video Division (Bureau) 

issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 

(NPRM) in response to a petition for 

rulemaking filed by One Ministries, Inc. 

(Petitioner), requesting the allotment of 

reserved noncommercial educational 

channel *4 to Fort Bragg, California, in 

the Table of Allotments as the 

community’s second local service. For 

the reasons set forth in the Report and 

Order referenced below, the Bureau 

amends FCC regulations to allot channel 

*4 at Fort Bragg. The newly allotted 

channel will be authorized pursuant to 

the Commission’s application and 

selection procedures for reserved 

noncommercial educational television 

stations. 

DATES: Effective January 21, 2022. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Joyce Bernstein, Media Bureau, at (202) 

418–1647 or Joyce.Bernstein@fcc.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

proposed rule was published at 86 FR 

54144 on September 30, 2021. The 

Petitioner filed comments in support of 

the petition, as required by the 

Commission’s rules, reaffirming its 

commitment to apply for channel *4 

and if authorized, to build a station 

promptly. No other comments were 

filed. We believe the public interest 

would be served by allotting channel *4 

at Fort Bragg, California. Fort Bragg 

(population 7,179) clearly qualifies for 

community of license status for 

allotment purposes. In addition, the 

proposal would result in a second local 

service to Fort Bragg under the 

Commission’s third allotment priority. 

Moreover, the allotment is consistent 

with the minimum geographic spacing 

requirements for new DTV allotments in 


jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with RULES1
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 14 / Friday, January 21, 2022 / Rules and Regulations 3227 

the Commission’s rules, and the 

allotment point complies with the rules 

as the entire community of Fort Bragg is 

encompassed by the 35 dBm contour. 

This is a synopsis of the 

Commission’s Report and Order, MB 

Docket No. 21–123; RM–11890; DA 22– 

26, adopted January 11, 2022, and

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

‘‘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.

Henderson, Nevada 

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: On July 28, 2021, the Media 

Bureau, Video Division (Bureau) issued 

a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 

(NPRM) in response to a petition for 

rulemaking filed by KVUU–TV 

Broadcasting Corporation (Petitioner), 

the licensee of KVUU, channel 9, 

Henderson, Nevada, requesting the 

substitution of channel 24 for channel 9 

at Henderson in the Table of 

Allotments. For the reasons set forth in 

the Report and Order referenced below, 

the Bureau amends FCC regulations to 

substitute channel 24 for channel 9 at 

Henderson. 

DATES: Effective January 21, 2022. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Joyce Bernstein, Media Bureau, at (202) 

418–1647 or Joyce.Bernstein@fcc.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

proposed rule was published at 86 FR 

41916 on August 4, 2021. The Petitioner 

filed comments in support of the 

petition reaffirming its commitment to 

apply for channel 24. Gray Television, 

LLC, which acquired the station, also 

filed comments in support of the 

petition and stating its commitment to 

apply for channel 24. In support of its 

channel substitution request, the 

Petitioner states that the Commission 

has recognized that VHF channels have 

certain characteristics that pose 

challenges for their use in providing 

digital television service, and that 

KVVU–TV has received numerous 

complaints of poor or no reception from 

viewers within its noise limited 

contour. While the channel 24 noise 

limited contour will not fully 

encompass the existing channel 9 

contour, only 152 persons would lose 

service from KVVU, and no viewers 

would lose access to their first or second 

over-the-air television service. While 

152 persons are predicted to lose service 

from KVVU, the Commission considers 

such a loss to be de minimis. 

This is a synopsis of the 

Commission’s Report and Order, MB 

Docket No. 21–124; RM–11891; DA 22– 

32, adopted January 12, 2022, and
