Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 148 / Monday, August 3, 2015 / Proposed Rules from Lifeline obligations and incorporating the record from the Connect America and USTelecom forbearance petition proceedings into that docket. 2. Specifically, the Bureau seeks to refresh the record on the issues that remain pending and how the actions already taken in the December 2014 Connect America Order might affect the Commission’s analysis with respect to these pending issues in several open dockets. In the December 2014 Connect America Order, the Commission did not resolve the issues that were raised in the Connect America Fund rulemaking proceeding and the forbearance petition regarding possible forbearance or other relief from the price cap carriers’ ETC designations or the regulatory requirements imposed on ETCs for those census blocks where forbearance was not granted. Moreover, the Commission did not resolve the issue of granting broader forbearance or other relief from the ETC designations of the price cap carriers serving the census blocks where limited forbearance was granted. The Commission neither accepted nor rejected commenters’ various arguments—whether in favor of, or against—such proposals. These issues remain pending to the extent originally raised in the rulemaking proceeding or the forbearance proceeding (or both). II. Procedural Matters 1. Initial Regulatory Flexibility Act Analysis 3. The USF/ICC Transformation FNPRM and April 2014 Connect America FNPRM included Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analyses (IRFAs) pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 603, exploring the potential impact on small entities of the Commission’s proposal concerning potential relief from ETC obligations. We invite parties to file comments on the IRFAs in light of this request to refresh the record. mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS 2. Paperwork Reduction Analysis 4.

(``Liberman''), licensee of Station KZMP-FM, Pilot Point, Texas, for a 
construction permit to implement a previously granted upgrade in KZMP's 
channel class from Channel 285C1 to 285C0 (``Pilot Point Application'') 
as a counterproposal. Finally, to accommodate Pyeatt's proposal, an 
Order to Show Cause is issued to Liberman as to why KZMP's channel

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a synopsis of the Commission's 
Notice of Proposed Rule Making (``NPRM'') and Order to Show Cause 
(``OSC''), MB Docket No. 15-167, adopted July 9, 2015, and released 
July 10, 2015. The full text of this Commission decision is available 
for inspection and copying during normal business hours in the FCC's 
Reference Information Center at Portals II, CY-A257, 445 Twelfth Street 
SW., Washington, DC 20554. This document does not contain proposed 
information collection requirements subject to the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. 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).
    The document solicits comment on the proposed allotment of Channel 
286A at Grant (population 289) because it could result in a first local 
service to that community. The proposed reference coordinates for 
Channel 286A at Grant are 33-57-16 NL and 95-36-30 WL. The NPRM also 
addresses Liberman's concerns regarding the credibility of Pyeatt's 
expression of interest in the proposed Grant allotment.
    Next, the OSC proposes the involuntary downgrade of KZMP, Pilot 
Point, Texas, from Channel 285C0 to 285C1 because nearly seven years 
have passed since KZMP was upgraded and Liberman has not implemented 
the upgrade.
    Finally, the NPRM also states that the public interest would be 
served by considering the Pilot Point Application because it could 
result in the provision of service to an additional 1,507,667 people 
and treating it as a counterproposal to Pyeatt's Petition for Rule 
Making. Both Pyeatt and Liberman are invited to submit comments, 
seeking to demonstrate why their proposals better serve the public 
interest under the FM Allotment Priorities. The Pilot Point Application 
reference coordinates are 33-32-14 NL and 96-49-54 WL.
    Provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 do not apply 
to this proceeding.
    Members of the public should note that from the time a Notice of 
Proposed Rule Making is issued until the matter is no longer subject to 
Commission consideration or court review, all ex parte contacts are 
prohibited in Commission proceedings, such as this one, which involve 
channel allotments. See 47 CFR 1.1204(b) for rules governing 
permissible ex parte contacts.
