COMMISSION
47 CFR Part 73
[MB Docket No. 16–29, RM–11758; DA 16–
139]
Television Broadcasting Services;
Scottsbluff, Nebraska and Sidney,
Nebraska
Federal Communications
Commission.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
AGENCY:
The Commission has before it
a petition for rulemaking filed by Gray
Television License, LLC, proposed
assignee of KDUH–TV, Scottsbluff,
Nebraska and New Rushmore Radio,
Inc., the licensee of station KDUH–TV,
channel 7, Scottsbluff, Nebraska
(collectively ‘‘Petitioners’’), requesting
an amendment of the DTV Table of
Allotments to delete channel 7 at
Scottsbluff and substitute channel 7 at
Sidney, Nebraska. While the
Commission instituted a freeze on the
acceptance of full power television
rulemaking petitions requesting channel
substitutions in May 2011, Petitioners
are seeking a waiver asserting that
because the proposed change in
community of license does not involve
any proposed change in technical
facilities, grant of the petition would not
impact on the Post-Transition Table of
DTV Allotments. Petitioners believe that
a waiver here would serve the public
interest and that community in Sidney
would remain well-served after
reallotment.
SUMMARY:
Comments must be filed on or
before March 21, 2016, and reply
comments on or before April 4, 2016.
ADDRESSES: Federal Communications
Commission, Office of the Secretary,
445 12th Street SW., Washington, DC
20554. In addition to filing comments
with the FCC, interested parties should
serve counsel for petitioner as follows:
