typeregulations.gov FR Doc.2014-19411 RIN DA14-1064 MB Docket No.08-243 RM-11490 FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION Final rule; denial of petition for reconsideration. August 15, 2014. 47 CFR Part 73 SummaryThis document denies the Petition for Reconsideration filed by OCC Acquisitions, Inc. First, we reject OCC Acquisitions, Inc.&apos;s argument that La Mas Z Radio Corporation&apos;s expression of interest for vacant Channel 237B at Charlotte Amalie, Virgin Islands is a sham. Next, we dismiss as procedurally defective OCC Acquisitions, Inc.&apos;s argument that we should have considered the option of retaining vacant Channel 271B at Charlotte Amalie and adding Channel 237B at that community because this allotment scheme is preferable to the substitution of Channel 237B for Channel 271B at Charlotte Amalie and grant of the Station WNVE(FM) Application. Finally, we conclude that no error was committed in this case by placing the reimbursement responsibility on the ultimate permittee of Channel 237B at Charlotte Amalie, Virgin Islands.

Comments must be filed on or before October 14, 2014, and reply comments on or before October 27, 2014. 47 CFR Part 73 SummaryThe Commission has before it a petition for rulemaking filed by WPXS, Inc. (“WPXS”), the licensee of station WPXS(TV), channel 21, Mount Vernon, Illinois, requesting the substitution of channel 11 for channel 21 at Mount Vernon. While the Commission instituted a freeze on the acceptance of full power television rulemaking petitions requesting channel substitutions in May 2011, it recently adopted rules to implement the broadcast television spectrum incentive auction authorized by the Spectrum Act which facilitates the voluntary return of television spectrum usage rights and reorganizes the broadcast television bands. The Commission will be able to recover a portion of ultra-high frequency (“UHF”) spectrum for new, flexible-use licenses suitable for mobile broadband services. By relinquishing channel 21, a UHF channel, the proposed channel substitution will assist the Commission in the repacking process by freeing up a UHF channel, which serves the public interest.
