COMMISSION 

47 CFR Part 73 

[MB Docket No. 21–130; RM–11897; DA 21– 

843; FR ID 40086] 

Television Broadcasting Services 

Portland, Oregon 

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission. 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Commission has before it 

a petition for rulemaking filed by 

KPTV–KPDX Broadcasting Corporation 

(Petitioner), the licensee of KPTV (FOX), 

channel 12, Portland, Oregon. The 

Petitioner requests the substitution of 

channel 21 for channel 12 at in the DTV 

Table of Allotments. 

DATES: Comments must be filed on or 

before September 8, 2021 and reply 

comments on or before September 23, 

2021. 

ADDRESSES: Federal Communications 

Commission, Office of the Secretary, 45 

L Street NE, Washington, DC 20554. In 

addition to filing comments with the 

FCC, interested parties should serve 

counsel for the Petitioner as follows: 

Christina Burrow, Esq., Cooley LLP, 

1299 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Suite 

700, Washington, DC 20004. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Joyce Bernstein, Media Bureau, at (202) 

418–1647 or Joyce.Bernstein@fcc.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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, including 

propagation characteristics that allow 

undesired signals and noise to be 

receivable at relatively far distances and 

nearby electrical devices to cause 

interference. According to the 

Petitioner, it has received numerous 

complaints of poor or no reception from 

viewers, and explains the importance of 

a strong over-the-air signal in the 

Portland area during emergencies, 

when, it states, cable and satellite 

service may go out of operation. Finally, 

the Petitioner demonstrated that the 

channel 21 noise limited contour would 

fully encompass the existing channel 12 

contour, and an analysis using the 

Commission’s TVStudy software 

indicates that Petitioner’s proposal 

would result in an increase in 

population served. 

This is a synopsis of the 

Commission’s Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking, MB Docket No. 21–130; 

RM–11897; DA 21–843, adopted July 15,

3506(c)(4). Provisions of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 601– 

612, do not apply to this proceeding.

however, exceptions to this prohibition, 

which can be found in Section 1.1204(a)
