Petitioner further states that KBOI–TV has received numerous complaints from viewers unable to receive that Station’s over-the-air signal, despite being able to receive signals from other stations, and that its channel substitution proposal will result in more effective building penetration for indoor antenna reception. In its Amended Engineering Exhibit, the Petitioner demonstrated that while the noise limited contour of the proposed channel 20 facility does not completely encompass the licensed channel 9 contour, only 180 persons in two small loss areas are predicted to lose service from KBOI–TV.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In support of its channel substitution 
request, the Petitioner states that the Commission has recognized that 
VHF channels have certain propagation characteristics which may cause 
reception issues for some viewers. Petitioner further states that KBOI-
TV has received numerous complaints from viewers unable to receive that 
Station's over-the-air signal, despite being able to receive signals 
from other stations, and that its channel substitution proposal will 
result in more effective building penetration for indoor antenna 
reception. In its Amended Engineering Exhibit, the Petitioner 
demonstrated that while the noise limited contour of the proposed 
channel 20 facility does not completely encompass the licensed channel 
9 contour, only 180 persons in two small loss areas are predicted to 
lose service from KBOI-TV. The Commission, however, considers such a 
loss to be de minimis.
    This is a synopsis of the Commission's Notice of Proposed 
Rulemaking, MB Docket No. 21-156; RM-11901; DA 21-437, adopted April 
16, 2021, and released April 16, 2021. The full text of this document

    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 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). Provisions of the 
Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 601-612, do not apply to 
this proceeding.
    Members of the public should note that all ex parte contacts are 
prohibited from the time a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking is issued to 
the time the matter is no longer subject to Commission consideration or 
court review, see 47 CFR 1.1208. There are, however, exceptions to this 
prohibition, which can be found in Sec.  1.1204(a) of the Commission's 
rules, 47 CFR 1.1204(a).
