 Federal Communications Commission 47 CFR Part 73
[MB Docket No. 21-178; RM-11905; DA 21-770; FR ID 36875]
 AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.
 ACTION: Final rule.
 SUMMARY: On April 21, 2021, the Media Bureau, Video Division (Bureau) issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) in response to a petition for rulemaking filed by the Greater New Orleans Educational Television Foundation (Petitioner), the licensee of noncommercial educational PBS member station WYES-TV, channel *11, New Orleans, Louisiana, requesting the substitution of channel *28 for channel *11 at New Orleans in the DTV Table of Allotments. For the reasons set forth in the 
                        *Report and Order*
                         referenced below, the Bureau amends FCC regulations to substitute channel *28 for channel *11 at New Orleans.
 DATES: Effective July 19, 2021.
 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 23340 on May 3, 2021. The Petitioner filed comments in support of the petition reaffirming its commitment to apply for channel *28. No other comments were filed. The Petitioner states that WYES-TV is the only station licensed to New Orleans operating on a VHF channel, and moving to a UHF channel would improve viewers' access to WYES-TV's PBS and other public television programming by improving indoor reception and resolving VHF reception issues. In addition, the Petitioner submitted an analysis, using the Commission's 
                    *TVStudy*
                     software analysis program, demonstrating that it will continue to serve all of the population located within the licensed channel *11 contour. This is a synopsis of the Commission's 
                    *Report and Order,*
                     MB Docket No. 21-178; RM-11905; DA 21-770, adopted July 2, 2021, and released July 2, 2021. The full text of this document is available for download at
