See 84 FR 16413–01 (April 19, 2019). The document rejects all of PMCM’s challenges to this grant. First, the Commission disagrees with PMCM’s argument that while the Commission partially lifted a freeze on community of license changes for petitions that do not require a change in the station’s technical facilities, CPBI’s rulemaking petition was not eligible because CPBI subsequently sought to relocate WEDW’s technical facilities from Bridgeport to Stamford after filing the Petition. The Commission finds that VerDate Sep<11>2014 21:58 Sep 30, 2020 Jkt 253001 consistent with these requirements of the partially lifted freeze, CPBI’s petition did not request a change in WEDW’s authorized technical facilities nor was such a change required to comply with the Commission’s community coverage requirements. In particular, the Commission finds that the later-filed request to move transmission facilities to Stamford is a separate matter from CPBI’s community of license petition and disagree with PMCM that the modification application is integral to consideration of the Petition. The document also finds that the Application for Review was an impermissible collateral attack on CPBI’s separate application to move its transmission facilities to Stamford, which had been final for over a year and not pending before the Commission. In addition, the Commission also denies PMCM’s argument that grant of this community of license change would effectively relocate WEDW to New York City. The petition for rulemaking did not propose to move the authorized technical facilities from its site near Bridgeport and, thus, CPBI did not propose a change to WEDW’s service area as part of this rulemaking. This document does not contain information collection requirements subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104–13. In addition, therefore, it does not contain any 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, see 5 U.S.C. 601–612, do not apply to this proceeding. This document is not subject to the Congressional Review Act. (The Commission, is, therefore, not required to submit a copy of this Memorandum Opinion and Order to GAO, pursuant to the Congressional Review Act, see 5 U.S.C. 801(a)(1)(A) because the Application for Review was denied.)

Synopsis

    In the Report and Order in this proceeding, the Bureau granted 
CPBI's request to change its community of license over the objection of 
PMCM. See 84 FR 16413-01 (April 19, 2019). The document rejects all of 
PMCM's challenges to this grant. First, the Commission disagrees with 
PMCM's argument that while the Commission partially lifted a freeze on 
community of license changes for petitions that do not require a change 
in the station's technical facilities, CPBI's rulemaking petition was 
not eligible because CPBI subsequently sought to relocate WEDW's 
technical facilities from Bridgeport to Stamford after filing the 
Petition. The Commission finds that consistent with these requirements 
of the partially lifted freeze, CPBI's petition did not request a 
change in WEDW's authorized technical facilities nor was such a change 
required to comply with the Commission's community coverage 
requirements. In particular, the Commission finds that the later-filed 
request to move transmission facilities to Stamford is a separate 
matter from CPBI's community of license petition and disagree with PMCM 
that the modification application is integral to consideration of the 
Petition.
    The document also finds that the Application for Review was an 
impermissible collateral attack on CPBI's separate application to move 
its transmission facilities to Stamford, which had been final for over 
a year and not pending before the Commission.
    In addition, the Commission also denies PMCM's argument that grant 
of this community of license change would effectively relocate WEDW to 
New York City. The petition for rulemaking did not propose to move the 
authorized technical facilities from its site near Bridgeport and, 
thus, CPBI did not propose a change to WEDW's service area as part of 
this rulemaking.
    This document does not contain information collection requirements 
subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. In 
addition, therefore, it does not contain any 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, see 5 U.S.C. 601-612, do not apply to this 
proceeding.
    This document is not subject to the Congressional Review Act. (The 
Commission, is, therefore, not required to submit a copy of this 
Memorandum Opinion and Order to GAO, pursuant to the Congressional 
Review Act, see 5 U.S.C. 801(a)(1)(A) because the Application for 
Review was denied.)
