COMMISSION 

47 CFR Part 73 

[MB Docket No. 22–30; RM–11916; DA 22– 

358; FR ID 81392] 

Television Broadcasting Services 

Vernon, Alabama 

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: On January 20, 2022, the 

Media Bureau, Video Division (Bureau) 

issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 

(NPRM) in response to a petition for 

rulemaking filed by Alabama 

Educational Television Commission 

(Petitioner or AETC), requesting the 

allotment of reserved noncommercial 

educational channel *4 to Vernon, 

Alabama, in the Table of Allotments as 

the community’s first local service. For 

the reasons set forth in the Report and 

Order referenced below, the Bureau 

amends the Federal Communications 

Commission (Commission or FCC) 

regulations to allot channel *4 at 

Vernon. The newly allotted channel will 

be authorized pursuant to the 

Commission’s application and selection 

procedures for reserved noncommercial 

educational television stations. 

DATES: Effective May 12, 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 

6100 on February 3, 2022. The 

Petitioner filed comments in support of 

the petition, as required by the 

Commission’s rules, reaffirming its 

commitment to apply for channel *4 

and if authorized, to build a station 

promptly. A number of elected officials 

also filed comments in support of 

AETC’s allotment request. We believe 

the public interest would be served by 

allotting channel *4 at Vernon, 

Alabama. Vernon (population 5,551) 

clearly qualifies for community of 

license status for allotment purposes. In 

addition, the proposal would result in a 

first local service to Vernon under the 

Commission’s second allotment priority. 

Moreover, the allotment is consistent 

with the minimum geographic spacing 

requirements for new television 

allotments in the Commission’s rules, 

and the allotment point complies with 

the rules as the entire community of 

Vernon is encompassed by the 35 dBm 

contour. 

This is a synopsis of the 

Commission’s Report and Order, MB 

Docket No. 22–30; RM–11916; DA 22– 

358, adopted April 4, 2022, and released 

April 4, 2022. The full text of this

the Consumer & Governmental Affairs 

Bureau at 202–418–0530 (voice), 202– 

418–0432 (tty). 

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 

the 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).
