bandwidth of at least one percent may
be employed. A narrower resolution
bandwidth is permitted in all cases to
improve measurement accuracy
provided the measured power is
integrated over the full required
measurement bandwidth (i.e. 1
megahertz or 1 percent of emission
bandwidth, as specified; or 1 megahertz
or 2 percent for mobile digital stations,
except in the band 2495–2496 MHz).
The emission bandwidth is defined as
the width of the signal between two
points, one below the carrier center
frequency and one above the carrier
center frequency, outside of which all
emissions are attenuated at least 26 dB
below the transmitter power. With
respect to television operations,
measurements must be made of the
separate visual and aural operating
powers at sufficiently frequent intervals
to ensure compliance with the rules.

Federal Communications
Commission.
ACTION: Final rule; denial of application
for review.
AGENCY:
In this document, the Federal
Communications Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) grants in part and
denies in part the Application for
Review filed by the Curators of the
University of Missouri (‘‘Petitioner’’) of
the Memorandum Opinion and Order of
the Media Bureau (‘‘Bureau’’) in this
proceeding, which denied the
Petitioner’s request to waive the
standard for reserving a vacant FM
channel for noncommercial educational
(‘‘NCE’’) use. Although the Bureau erred
by not giving a ‘‘hard look’’ to the
waiver request, the Commission found
that a waiver was not warranted.
DATES: July 16, 2014.

On March 24, 2004, the Petitioner
requested the reservation of vacant
Channel 252C2 at Columbia, Missouri,
for NCE use. Although its proposal
would provide a second NCE service to
over 22,000 persons that would
comprise about 7 percent of its service
area, the Petitioner requested a waiver
of § 73.202(a)(1)(ii) because that rule
requires that a station provide a first
and/or second NCE service to at least
ten percent of the population within the
1 mV/m contour of the proposed station
that is at least 2,000 persons in order to
reserve the channel.
The Bureau initially returned the
Petition because it did not meet the ten
percent channel reservation threshold
and did not otherwise address the
Petitioner’s waiver request. Upon
reconsideration, the Bureau found in the
Memorandum Opinion and Order that a
waiver was not warranted because the
proposal fell well below the ten percent
standard. See 71 FR 34279, June 14,
2006.
On review, the Commission finds that
the Bureau failed to give the Petitioner’s
waiver request the required ‘‘hard look’’
and grants the Application for Review to
that extent. However, the Commission
finds that a waiver of the reservation
standard is not warranted because it is
not enough that the number of persons
receiving a first or second NCE service
exceeds the 2,000 person requirement.
Rather, the Commission made clear, in
adopting this rule, that the number of
persons must constitute ten percent or
more of the station’s service area.
Otherwise, the need for a reserved
channel is not great enough.
The Commission also finds that the
licensing circumstances that Petitioner
faces are not exceptional because 13
other NCE FM stations provide some
level of NCE service to the 288,383
persons located within the allotment’s
predicted service area. Finally, the
Commission rejects the Petitioner’s
argument that the ten percent standard
is difficult to satisfy because, out of 129
petitions for the reservation of
allotments, the Commission has granted
55. Accordingly, the Commission denies
the Application for Review in all other
respects.
