## Synopsis

1. On December 1, 2020, the Commission released a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 86 FR 1909 (Jan. 11, 2021) (NPRM), in this proceeding, seeking comment on whether to modify the Commission's rules governing the operation of FM booster stations in certain limited circumstances to allow for geo-targeted content. The time period for filing comments and reply comments on the NPRM closed on March 12, 2021. Since that time, GeoBroadcast Solutions sought, and the Bureau has approved, experimental authority to test the technology in San Jose, California with station KSJO(FM), and in Jackson, Mississippi with station WRBJ-FM. As part of this authority, GeoBroadcast Solutions was required to file in the Commission's Electronic Comment Filing System (ECFS) technical reports on testing it conducted for both stations. Those reports contain detailed technical discussions about the operation of GeoBroadcast Solutions' booster technology, its compatibility with the Emergency Alert System, and its impact on digital FM broadcasts. This technical information was not available to the public at the time comments and reply comments were due.

2. In light of these recent developments and to provide a complete record on developments since the completion of the commenting cycle in this matter, the Media Bureau seeks public comment on these test reports, as well as other documents filed in this proceeding since March 12, 2021. Interested parties may file comments and reply comments by the dates listed above using ECFS or by submitting paper copies to the Commission's Office of the Secretary. Commenters should follow the comment filing instructions provided in paragraph 36 of the NPRM, 35 FCC Rcd 14213 (2020), 86 FR 1909 (Jan. 11, 2021).

Federal Communications Commission.
