(ss) Redesignation. Approval—On 

December 3, 2021, Wisconsin submitted 

a request to redesignate the Wisconsin 

portion of the Chicago-Naperville, IL-INWI area to attainment of the 2008 ozone 

National Ambient Air Quality Standards 

(NAAQS). As part of the redesignation 

request, the State submitted a 

maintenance plan as required by section 

175A of the Clean Air Act (CAA). 

Elements of the section 175 

maintenance plan include a contingency 

plan and an obligation to submit a 

subsequent maintenance plan revision 

in eight years as required by the CAA. 

The ozone maintenance plan also 

establishes 2030 and 2035 Motor 

Vehicle Emission Budgets (Budgets) for 

the area. The 2030 Budgets for the area 

are 0.54 tons/day for volatile organic 

compounds (VOC) and 0.85 tons/day for 

oxides of nitrogen (NOX). The 2035 

Budgets for the area are 0.47 tons/day 

for VOC and 0.75 tons/day for NOX. 

Wisconsin also submitted a revision to 

its State Implementation Plan to satisfy 

the Enhanced Inspection/Maintenance 

recertification for the 2008 ozone 

NAAQS requirements of the CAA.

Television Broadcasting Services 

Albany, New York 

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: On January 11, 2022, the 

Media Bureau, Video Division (Bureau) 

issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 

(NPRM) in response to a petition for 

rulemaking filed by WNYT–TV, LLC 

(Petitioner), the licensee of WNYT–TV 

(Station), channel 12, Albany, New 

York, requesting the substitution of 

channel 24 for channel 12 at Albany in 

the Table of Allotments. For the reasons 

set forth in the Report and Order 

referenced below, the Bureau amends 

the Federal Communications 

Commission (Commission or FCC) 

regulations to substitute channel 24 for 

channel 12 at Albany. 

DATES: Effective April 11, 2022. 

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 87 FR 

3489 on January 24, 2022. The 

Petitioner filed comments in support of 

the petition reaffirming its commitment 

to apply for channel 24. No other 

comments were filed. In support of its 

channel substitution request, the 

Petitioner states that the Station has a 

long history of significant reception 

problems given the local terrain, 

specifically the proximity of the Green, 

Berkshire, Catskill, and Adirondack 

mountain ranges and that these 

problems were exacerbated by the 

station’s conversion from analog to 

digital operations on VHF channel 12, 

when it received numerous complaints 

from viewers about the station’s overthe-air signal. In response to these 

complaints, the Petitioner applied for 

and received modification 

authorizations to increase the Station’s 

effective radiated power (ERP) from 9.1 

kW to 30 kW. According to the 

Petitioner, its proposal will result in a 

net gain in service to 289,588 persons 

within the Station’s predicted noise 

limited service contour. While the 

proposal will result in a loss population 

of 210 persons within the predicted 

noise limited contour, the Petitioner 

demonstrated that the population 

within the loss area is currently served 

by at least five over-the-air television 

services. In addition, the Station is an 

NBC affiliate, and 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 the 

Station’s original DTV channel 12 noise 

limited contour will continue to receive 

NBC service, except for 130 people, a 

number which the Commission 

considers de minimis. Moreover, the 

proposed channel 21 facility will result 

in 30,075 persons gaining access to NBC

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

Television Broadcasting Services 

Billings, Montana 

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: On January 26, 2022, the 

Media Bureau, Video Division (Bureau) 

issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 

(NPRM) in response to a petition for 

rulemaking filed by Scripps 

Broadcasting Holdings LLC (Scripps or 

Petitioner), the licensee of KTVQ(TV) 

(KTVQ or Station), channel 10, Billings, 

Montana, requesting the substitution of 

channel 20 for channel 10 at Billings in 

the Table of Allotments. For the reasons 

set forth in the Report and Order 

referenced below, the Bureau amends 

the Federal Communications 

Commission (Commission or FCC) 

regulations to substitute channel 20 for 

channel 10 at Billings. 

DATES: Effective April 11, 2022. 

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 87 FR 

6473 on February 4, 2022. The 

Petitioner filed comments in support of 

the petition reaffirming its commitment 

to apply for channel 20. No other 

comments were filed. 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 that the Station has received many 

complaints from viewers unable to 

receive a reliable signal on channel 10. 

An analysis using the Commission’s 

TVStudy software tool indicates that 

KTVQ’s move from channel 10 to 

channel 20 is predicted to create a small 

area with 3,624 persons. That loss area, 

however, is partially overlapped by the 

noise limited contours of Scripps’ 

owned TV translator stations K15LB–D, 

Red Lodge, Montana, and K28ON–D, 

Castle Rock, Montana, both of which 

carry the CBS network programming 

aired by KTVQ, and it appears that due 

to VHF reception issues and terrain, 

most of the viewers in the loss area 

already receive their CBS service from 

these translators. Accordingly, taking 

into account service from the Scripps’ 

translators, only 483 persons would lose 

CBS service if KTVQ moves to channel 

20, a number which the Commission 

considers de minimis. In addition, the 

loss area is also partially overlapped by 

the noise limited contours of KSVI 

(ABC) and KULR (NBC), Billings, 

Montana; KHMT (FOX), Hardin, 

Montana; and KSGW (ABC/FOX), 

Sheridan, Wyoming, so viewers in the 

loss area will continue to have access to 

major network programming. 

This is a synopsis of the 

Commission’s Report and Order, MB 

Docket No. 22–39; RM–11917; DA 22– 

359, adopted April 4, 2022, and released 

April 4, 2022. The full text of this
