FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 73

[FRS 16933; DA 20-719]


Radio Broadcasting Services; Various Locations

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document amends the FM Table of Allotments, of the 
Commission's rules, by reinstating certain vacant FM allotments. These 
FM allotments are considered vacant because of the cancellation of the 
associated authorizations and licenses, or the dismissal of long-form 
auction applications. Theses vacant FM allotments have previously 
undergone notice and comment rule making. Reinstatement of the vacant 
allotments is merely a ministerial action to effectuate licensing 
procedures. Therefore, we find for good cause that further notice and 
comment are unnecessary.

DATES: Effective August 10, 2020.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rolanda F. Smith, Media Bureau, (202) 
418-2700.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a synopsis of the Commission's 
Order, adopted July 10, 2020 and released July 10, 2020. The full text 
of this Commission decision is available online at https://apps.fcc.gov/ecfs/. This document does not contain information collection 
requirements subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 
104-13. The Commission will not send a copy of the Order in a report to 
be sent to Congress and the Government Accountability Office pursuant 
to the Congressional Review Act, see 5 U.S.C. 801(a)(1)(A) because the 
Order is a ministerial action.
