FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 73

[DA 22-95; FRS 70458]


Radio Broadcasting Services; Various Locations

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document amends the FM Table of Allotments, of the 
Commission's rules, by removing certain vacant FM allotment channels 
that were auctioned through our FM competitive bidding process or 
undergone FM noncommercial filing window, and are no longer considered 
vacant FM allotments. The FM allotments are currently authorized 
licensed stations. FM assignments for authorized stations and reserved 
facilities will be reflected solely in Media Bureau's Licensing 
Management System (LMS). These FM allotment channels have previously 
undergone notice and comment rulemaking. This action constitutes an 
editorial change in the FM Table of Allotments. Therefore, we find for 
good cause that further notice and comment are unnecessary.

DATES: Effective February 8, 2022.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rolanda F. Smith, Media Bureau, (202) 
418-2700.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a synopsis of the Commission's 
Order, adopted January 28, 2022 and released January 28, 2022. The full 
text of this Commission decision is available online at https://apps.fcc.gov/ecfs/. This document does not contain information 
collection requirements subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 
Public Law 104-13. The Commission will not send a copy of the 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. 
801(a)(1)(A) because the Order is a ministerial action.
