FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 73

DA 22-128; FRS 71904]


Radio Broadcasting Services; Various Locations

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This document amends the FM Table of Allotments, of the 
Federal Communications Commission's (Commission) rules, by designating 
as unreserved the FM allotment channels that are reserved for 
noncommercial educational (``NCE'') use in various communities. The FM 
allotments are vacant as a result of the dismissal of an application or 
cancellation of the authorization or license. We classify as unreserved 
these NCE channels that are in the commercial band (Channels 221 to 
300) by operation of law. 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 17, 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 February 9, 2022 and released February 9, 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.
