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). Provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 do not apply to this proceeding. To accommodate the new allotment at Munds Park, the Bureau also substitutes Channel 281C for vacant Channel 247C at First Mesa, Arizona, at reference coordinates 35–41–09 NL and 110–21– 43 WL. The reference coordinates for Channel 246C2 at Munds Park are 34– 58–06 NL and 111–30–29 WL. In comparing the new allotment at Munds Park and the proposed increase in existing service at Wickenburg, Arizona, the Bureau recognized that the Wickenburg proposal would provide a second full-time reception service to 264 persons. However, the Bureau found that this was de minimis and did not trigger Priority 2 of the FM Allotment Priorities. The Munds Park proposal was preferred over the Wickenburg proposal under Priority 4, other public interest matters. Although the increase in existing service at Wickenburg would provide third and fourth reception services to some underserved populations, the Bureau determined on balance that they do not outweigh the need for a second local or first competitive service at Munds Park.
