SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a synopsis of the Commission's 
Notice of Proposed Rule Making, MB Docket No. 09-83, adopted June 3, 
2009, and released June 5, 2009. 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 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 Web site, http://www.bcpiweb.com. This document does not contain proposed information 
collection requirements subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,

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.
