DATES: Effective August 1, 2011. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Andrew J. Rhodes, Media Bureau, (202) 418–2180. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a synopsis of the Commission’s Memorandum Opinion and Order, MB Docket No. 04–319, adopted June 16, 2011, and released June 17, 2011. 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 duplicating contractor, Best Copy and Printing, Inc., Portals II, 445 12th Street, SW., Room CY–B402, Washington, DC 20554, telephone 1–800–378–3160 or https://www.BCPIWEB.com. The Report and Order denied East Kentucky’s rulemaking petition because it proposed an effective radiated power (‘‘ERP’’) below the minimum required PO 00000 Frm 00035 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 9990 44279 for Class C3 FM stations under § 73.211 of the Commission’s rules. See 72 FR 16315 (April 4, 2007). The staff reversed the Report and Order, explaining that a station may have a height above average terrain (‘‘HAAT’’) greater than the class reference provided that it reduces its ERP such that the distance to its 60 dBu contour exceeds the reference distance for the next lower class and does not exceed the reference distance for its class. Because East Kentucky’s proposal met these requirements, the staff reinstated and granted the rulemaking petition. The document also rejected an argument that the proposal was not technically feasible due to a terrain obstruction. To accommodate East Kentucky’s upgrade, the staff involuntarily modified the license of Station WDIC– FM, Clinchco, Virginia, from Channel 221A to Channel 276A. The reference coordinates for Channel 221C3 at Coal Run, Kentucky, are 37–23–57 NL and 82–23–42 WL, and for Channel 276A at Clinchco, Virginia, are 37–08–42 NL and 82–23–22 WL. East Kentucky’s proposal was formerly a rule change to § 73.202(b), the FM Table of Allotments. See 69 FR 51414 (August 19, 2004). As a result of changes to the Commission’s processing rules, modifications of FM channels for existing stations are no longer listed in § 73.202(b) and are instead reflected in the Media Bureau’s Consolidated Data Base System. See Revision of Procedures Governing Amendments to FM Table of Allotments and Changes of Community of License in the Radio Broadcast Services, Report and Order, 71 FR 76208 (December 20, 2006).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a synopsis of the Commission's 

Memorandum Opinion and Order, MB Docket No. 04-319, adopted June 16, 

2011, and released June 17, 2011. The full text of this Commission 

decision is available for inspection and copying during normal business

    The Report and Order denied East Kentucky's rulemaking petition 

because it proposed an effective radiated power (``ERP'') below the 

minimum required for Class C3 FM stations under Sec.  73.211 of the 

Commission's rules. See 72 FR 16315 (April 4, 2007). The staff reversed 

the Report and Order, explaining that a station may have a height above 

average terrain (``HAAT'') greater than the class reference provided 

that it reduces its ERP such that the distance to its 60 dBu contour 

exceeds the reference distance for the next lower class and does not 

exceed the reference distance for its class. Because East Kentucky's 

proposal met these requirements, the staff reinstated and granted the 

rulemaking petition. The document also rejected an argument that the 

proposal was not technically feasible due to a terrain obstruction.

    To accommodate East Kentucky's upgrade, the staff involuntarily 

modified the license of Station WDIC-FM, Clinchco, Virginia, from 

Channel 221A to Channel 276A. The reference coordinates for Channel 

221C3 at Coal Run, Kentucky, are 37-23-57 NL and 82-23-42 WL, and for 

Channel 276A at Clinchco, Virginia, are 37-08-42 NL and 82-23-22 WL.

    East Kentucky's proposal was formerly a rule change to Sec.  

73.202(b), the FM Table of Allotments. See 69 FR 51414 (August 19, 

2004). As a result of changes to the Commission's processing rules, 

modifications of FM channels for existing stations are no longer listed 

in Sec.  73.202(b) and are instead reflected in the Media Bureau's 

Consolidated Data Base System. See Revision of Procedures Governing 

Amendments to FM Table of Allotments and Changes of Community of 

License in the Radio Broadcast Services, Report and Order, 71 FR 76208 

(December 20, 2006).

    This document is not subject to the Congressional Review Act. (The 

Commission is, therefore, not required to submit a copy of this Report 

and Order to GAO, pursuant to the Congressional Review Act, see 5 

U.S.C. 801(a)(1)(A) because no changes are being made to 47 CFR 

73.202(b)).
