47 CFR Part 73 

[MB Docket No. 21–185; RM–11906; DA 21– 

847; FR ID 39219] 

Television Broadcasting Services 

Butte, Montana 

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: On April 26, 2021, the Media 

Bureau, Video Division (Bureau) issued 

a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 

(NPRM) in response to a petition for 

rulemaking filed by Sinclair Media 

Licensee, LLC (Petitioner), the licensee 

of KTVM–TV (NBC), channel 6, Butte, 

Montana, requesting the substitution of 

channel 20 for channel 6 at Butte 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 20 for channel 6 at Butte. 

DATES: Effective July 23, 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 88 FR 

24837 on May 10, 2021. The Petitioner 

filed comments in support of the 

petition reaffirming its commitment to 

apply for channel 20. REC Networks 

also filed comments. The Petitioner 

states that VHF channels have certain 

propagation characteristics which may 

cause reception issues for some viewers. 

In addition, KTVM–TV has received 

numerous complaints from viewers 

unable to receive the Station’s over-theair signal, despite being able to receive 

signals from other stations. While the 

proposed channel 20 noise limited 

contour does not completely encompass 

the relevant channel 6 noise limited 

contour, KTVM–TV is an NBC affiliate 

and there are two other NBC affiliated 

stations that serve some portion of the 

loss area. In addition, the Petitioner 

submitted an analysis, using the 

Commission’s TVStudy software 

analysis program, demonstrating that, 

after taking into account service 

provided by other NBC stations, all of 

the population located within KTVM– 

TV’s original post-DTV transition 

channel 6 noise limited contour will 

continue to receive NBC service, except 

for 66 people, a number the Commission 

considers de minimis. As the Bureau 

explained in the NPRM, it used the 

technical parameters of KTVM–TV’s 

original post-transition digital channel 6 

facility (File Nos. BPCDT– 

20080314ADF; BLCDT–20090622ADT) 

in determining any predicted loss which 

may occur. 

This is a synopsis of the 

Commission’s Report and Order, MB 

Docket No. 21–185; RM–11906; DA 21– 

847 adopted July 15, 2021 and released 

July 16, 2021. The full text of this

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 

proposed information collection burden 

‘‘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. 

801(a)(1)(A).
