# SUMMARY:

                        The Audio Division seeks comment on a petition filed by JBL Broadcasting, Inc., proposing the upgrade to Channel 274C3 at Cumberland, Kentucky, the reallotment of Channel 274C3 from Cumberland to Weber City, Virginia, and the modification of Station WVEK-FM's license accordingly. To accommodate the reallotment, petitioner also proposed (1) the substitution of Channel 263A for vacant Channel 274A at Glade Spring, Virginia; and (2) the substitution of Channel 273A for Channel 263A at Marion, Virginia, and the modification of Station WOLD-FM's license accordingly. Channel 274C3 can be reallotted to Weber City in compliance                               ( print page 70778)                            with the Commission's minimum distance separation with a site restriction of 10.9 kilometers (6.8 miles) south at petitioner's requested site. The reference coordinates for Channel 274C3 at Weber City are 36-31-36 North Latitude and 82-35-13 West Longitude.                         *See***SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION,***infra.*

# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

                    This is a summary of the Commission's Notice of Proposed Rule Making and Order to Show Cause, MB Docket No. 05-295, adopted November 14, 2005, and released November 16, 2005. The full text of this Commission decision is available for inspection and copying during normal business hours in the Commission's Reference Center, 445 Twelfth Street, SW., Washington, DC 20554. The complete text of this decision may also be purchased from the Commission's duplicating contractor, Best Copy and Printing, Inc., 445 12th Street, SW., Room CY-B402, Washington, DC 20054, telephone 1-800-378-3160 or                     *http://www.BCPIWEB.com.*                     This document does not contain proposed 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).                 

To accommodate the reallotment, Channel 263A can be substituted at Glade Spring with a site restriction of 14.0 kilometers (8.7 miles) east at petitioner's requested site; and Channel 273A can be substituted at Marion with a site restriction of 2.5 kilometers (1.6 miles) north at petitioner's requested site. The reference coordinates for Channel 263A at Glade Spring are 36-47-50 North Latitude and 81-36-52 West Longitude; and the reference coordinates for Channel 273A at Marion are 36-54-10 North Latitude and 81-32-27 West Longitude. In accordance with the provisions of Section 1.420(i) of the Commission's Rules, we shall propose to modify the authorization of Station WVEK-FM without entertaining competing expressions of interest in the use of Channel 274C3 at Weber City, Virginia, or requiring petitioner to demonstrate the availability of an additional equivalent channel for use by other parties.

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*                     contact.                 

                    For information regarding proper filing procedures for comments,                     *see*47 CFR 1.415 and 1.420.
