ACTION: Final rule.

AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The staff grants a
counterproposal filed by Michael
Birdsill to allot Channel 221A to
Cottonwood, California, as a first local
aural service, and a counterproposal
filed by Educational Media Foundation
to allot Channel 224A to Shasta Lake,
California, as a third local service. It
denies rulemaking petitions filed by
Linda Davidson and Paul Barth to allot
Channel 221A to Redding, California, as
a tenth local service, and a
counterproposal filed by Wild Thing
Broadcasters to allot Channel 221C3 at
Cottonwood. With this action, the
proceeding is terminated. See
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION.
DATES: Effective July 30, 2007.
ADDRESSES: Federal Communications
Commission, 445 12th Street, SW.,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a

and Order, MB Docket No. 05–131,
adopted June 13, 2007, and released
June 15, 2007. The full text of this
Commission decision is available for
inspection and copying during normal
business hours in the FCC Reference

800–378–3160 or https://
www.BCPIWEB.com.
Under the Commission’s FM
Allotment Priorities, a first local service
at Cottonwood is preferred over a tenth
aural service at Redding or a third local
service at Shasta Lake because it triggers
higher allotment Priority (3). The staff
then considers whether to allot Channel
221A or higher class Channel 221C3 at
Cottonwood. The staff decides that the
public interest would be better served
by allotting lower class Channel 221A at
Cottonwood because this allotment will
make possible the allotment of Channel
224A at Shasta Lake. See 70 F.R. 19399
(April 13, 2005).
The reference coordinates for Channel
221A at Cottonwood, CA, are 40–23–45
NL and 122–17–22 WL and for Channel
224A at Shasta Lake, CA, are 40–38–51
and 122–27–19. See 70 F.R. 17384,
April 6, 2005.
Finally, the staff makes an editorial
correction to 47 C.F.R. Section 73.202(b)
to change the name of Shasta Lake City
to Shasta Lake to reflect the correct
name of the community.
The Commission will send a copy of
the Report and Order in this proceeding
in a report to be sent to Congress and
the Government Accountability Office
pursuant to the Congressional Review
Act, see 5 U.S.C. 801(a)(1)(A).
