and released January 8, 2010. The full text of this Commission document 
is available for inspection and copying during normal business hours in 
the FCC Reference Information Center (Room CY-A257), 445 12th Street,

    The complete text of this decision may also be purchased from the 
Commission's copy contractor, Best Copy and Printing, Inc., 445 12th

    The proposed channel at Peach Springs is part of a hybrid 
application and rulemaking proceeding. In the application (File No. 
BNPH-20091016ADO), Cochise Media Licenses, the tentative selectee in 
Auction 79 and applicant for a new FM station on Channel 268C3 at Peach 
Springs, Arizona, proposes a minor modification from Channel 268C3 at 
Peach Springs to Channel 267C2 at Oatman, Arizona. To retain a first 
local service at Peach Springs and to accommodate a first local service 
at Oatman, the Notice of Proposed Rule Making proposes the allotment of 
Channel 281C3 at Peach Springs.
    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).
    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 Section 1.1204(b) for rules governing 
permissible ex parte contact. For information regarding proper filing 
procedures for comments, see 47 CFR 1.4125 and 1.420.
