FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 73

[DA 10-754; MB Docket No. 10-81; RM-11600]


FM Table of Allotments, Fairbanks, Alaska

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document sets forth a proposal to amend the FM Table of 
Allotments. The Commission requests comment on a petition filed by 
Educational Media Foundation proposing the allotment of FM Channels 
224C2 and 232C2 as the thirteenth and fourteenth local service at 
Fairbanks, Alaska. Both stations can be allotted at Fairbanks in 
compliance with the Commission's minimum distance separation 
requirements with a site restriction of 9.4 km (5.9 miles) north of 
Fairbanks, at 64-55-20 North Latitude and 147-42-49 West Longitude. 
Concurrence in the allotments by the Government of Canada is required 
because the proposed allotments are located within 320 kilometers (199 
miles) of the U.S.-Canadian border. See Supplementary Information 
infra.

DATES: The deadline for filing comments is 30 days following 
publication in the Federal Register. Reply comments must be filed on or 
before 15 days following the deadline for initial comments.

ADDRESSES: Federal Communications Commission, 445 12th Street, S.W., 
Washington, DC 20554. In addition to filing comments with the FCC, 
interested parties should serve counsel for petitioner as follows:

LLP, 1919 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Suite 200, Washington, D.C. 20006.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a synopsis of the Commission's 
Notice of Proposed Rule Making, MB Docket No. 10-81, adopted April 30, 
2010, and released May 3, 2010. 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, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20554. 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 website, 
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).
    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.
    For information regarding proper filing procedures for comments, 
see 47 CFR 1.415 and 1.420.
