          - [DA 05-2952; MB Docket No. 05-304, RM-11230] 

# AGENCY:

Federal Communications Commission. 

# ACTION:

Proposed rule. 

# SUMMARY:

                        This document sets forth a proposal to amend the FM Table of Allotments, Section 73.202(b) of the Commission's rules, 47 CFR 73.202(b). The Commission requests comment on a petition filed by Charles Crawford. Petitioner proposes the allotment of Channel 247A at Garwood, Texas, as a first local service. Channel 247A can be allotted at Garwood in compliance with the Commission's minimum distance separation requirements with a site restriction of 15.0 km (9.3 miles) northwest of Garwood. The proposed coordinates for Channel 247A at Garwood are 29-33-29 North Latitude and 96-29-12 West Longitude. Any action in this proceeding is subject to the final outcome of MM Docket No. 00-148, which dismissed by a                         *Report and Order*                         proposals that conflict with this proposal for the allotment of Channel 247A at Garwood. The dismissal of those proposals is currently under review.                         *See***SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION***infra.*

                    This is a synopsis of the Commission's Notice of Proposed Rule Making, MB Docket No. 05-304, adopted November 9, 2005, and released November 10, 2005. The full text of this Commission decision is available for inspection and copying during normal business hours in the FCC Reference Information Center (Room CY-A257), 445 12th Street, SW., Washington, DC. The complete text of this decision may also be purchased from the Commission's copy contractor, Best Copy and Printing, Inc., 445 12th Street, SW., Room CY-B402, Washington, DC 20554, (800) 378-3160, or via the company's Web site,                     *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.

                    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*                     contacts.
