Apache Junction, Buckeye, Glendale, 

Peoria, Wenden, and Wickenburg, AZ 

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission. 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: This document requests 

comments on a petition for rule making 

filed by Entravision Holdings, L.L.C. 

(‘‘Petitioner’’), licensee of Stations 

KVVA–FM, Apache Junction, Arizona; 

KDVA(FM), Buckeye, Arizona, and 

KLNZ(FM), Glendale, Arizona. 

Petitioner requests that the Commission 

upgrade Channel 296C3, Station KVVA–

FM, to Channel 296C1 and reallot 

Channel 296C1 from Apache Junction to 

Peoria, Arizona, as Peoria’s first local 

aural transmission service; substitute 

Channel 229C3 for vacant Channel 

297C3 at Aguila, Arizona; upgrade 

Channel 295A, Station KDVA(FM), to 

Channel 295C3, and reallot Channel 

295C3 to Wenden, Arizona, as 

Wenden’s first local aural transmission 

service; and reallot Channel 278C, 

Station KLNZ(FM), from Glendale to 

Buckeye, Arizona. In addition, since 

Black Entrepreneur Association, Inc. 

(‘‘BEA’’) has filed a rulemaking petition 

to allot Channel 229C3 at Wickenburg, 

Arizona, that is mutually exclusive with 

Petitioner’s proposal to substitute 

Channel 229C3 for Channel 297C3 at 

Aguila, the Commission shall compare 

BEA’s proposal with Petitioner’s entire 

proposal to determine which proposal 

should be granted. 

The coordinates for proposed Channel 

296C1 at Peoria, Arizona, are 33–35–47 

NL and 112–05–31 WL, with a site 

restriction of 13.5 kilometers (8.4 miles) 

east of Peoria. The coordinates for 

proposed Channel 229C3 at Aguila, 

Arizona, are 33–56–34 NL and 113–10–

24 WL. The coordinates for proposed 

Channel 295C3 at Wenden, Arizona, are 

33–49–06 NL and 113–37–46 WL, with 

a site restriction of 8.2 kilometers (5.1 

miles) west of Wenden. The proposed 

Channel 278C at Buckeye, Arizona, are 

33–35–33 NL and 112–34–49 WL, with 

a site restriction of 24.7 kilometers (15.3 

miles) north of Buckeye. Lastly, if BEA’s 

proposal for Channel 229C3 at 

Wickenburg, Arizona is preferred over 

Petitioner’s rulemaking proposal, 

Channel 229C3 can be allotted to 

Wickenburg at coordinates of 33–53–49 

NL and 112–54–45 WL, with a site 

restriction of 18.7 kilometers (11.6 

miles) southwest of Wickenburg, 

Arizona.

The Federal Communications 

Commission granted a license for 

Station KVVA–FM, Apache Junction, 

Arizona, specifying operation on 

Channel 296C3, on May 8, 1997. See 

File No. BLH–19961025KB. Station 

KVVA–FM is still operating on Channel 

296C3. Nevertheless, 47 CFR 73.202, 

The FM Table of Allotments, 

erroneously lists Channel 296C2 as 

being allotted to Apache Junction, 

Arizona. 

The provisions of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act of 1980 do not apply to 

this proceeding. 

Members of the public should note 

that from the time a Notice of Proposed 

Rule Making is issued until the matter 

is no longer subject to Commission 

consideration or court review, all ex 

parte contacts are prohibited in 

Commission proceedings, such as this 

one, which involve channel allotments. 

See 47 CFR 1.1204(b) for rules 

governing permissible ex parte 

contracts. 

This document does not contain 

proposed information collection 

requirements subject to the Paperwork 

Reduction Act 0f 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).

filing procedures for comments, See 47 

CFR 1.415 and 1.420.

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission. 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Audio Division seeks 

comment on a petition filed by Forum 

Communications, Inc., licensee of FM 

Station WZUU, proposing the 

substitution of Channel 223A for 

Channel 222A at Allegan, reallotment of 

Channel 223A from Allegan to 

Mattawan, Michigan, as its first local 

service and modification of the FM 

Station WZUU license accordingly. To 

prevent removal of Allegan’s sole local 

service, Petitioner also requests the 

reallotment of co-owned Station 

WQXC–FM, Channel 265A from Otsego 

to Allegan, Michigan and modification 

of the Station WQXC–FM license 

accordingly. A staff engineering analysis 

has determined that Channel 223A can 

be allotted to Mattawan in conformity 

with the Commission’s rules, provided 

there is a site restriction of 10.6 

kilometers (6.6 miles) southeast at 

reference coordinates 42–07–45 NL and 

85–43–13 WL. Additionally, Channel 

265A can be allotted to Allegan in 

compliance with the Commission’s 

rules, at the Station WQXC(FM) existing 

transmitter site at coordinates 42–30–31 

NL and 85–46–08 WL. Canadian 

concurrence has been requested because 

the proposed reallotments are both 

located within 320 kilometers (199 

miles) of the U.S.-Canadian border. In 

accordance with the provisions of 

Section 1.420(i) of the Commission’s 

rules, we shall not accept competing 

expressions of interest pertaining to the 

use of Channel 223A at Mattawan or 

Channel 265A at Allegan.
