SUMMARY: On April 14, 2021, the Media Bureau, Video Division (Bureau) 
issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) in response to a petition 
for rulemaking filed by Sinclair Eugene Licensee, LLC (Petitioner), the 
licensee of KVAL-TV, channel 13 (CBS), Eugene, Oregon, requesting the 
substitution of channel 28 for channel 13 at Eugene in the DTV Table of 
Allotments. For the reasons set forth in the Report and Order 
referenced below, the Bureau amends FCC regulations to substitute 
channel 28 for channel 13 at Eugene.

DATES: Effective July 23, 2021.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Andrew Manley, Media Bureau, at (202) 
418-0596 or [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The proposed rule was published at 86 FR 
22126 on April 27, 2021. The Petitioner filed comments in support of 
the petition reaffirming its commitment to apply for channel 28. No 
other comments were filed. The Petitioner states that VHF channels have 
certain propagation characteristics which may cause reception issues 
for some viewers. In addition, KVAL has received numerous complaints 
from viewers unable to receive the Station's over-the-air signal, 
despite being able to receive signals from other stations. The 
Petitioner also demonstrated that while the noise limited contour of 
the proposed channel 28 facility does not completely encompass the 
licensed channel 13 contour, KVAL is a CBS affiliate and there are 
three other CBS affiliated stations that, together, overlap all areas 
where the channel 28 noise limited contour does not extend beyond the 
channel 13 noise limited contour, except in a small geographic area 
with no population. Thus, there is no loss of CBS network service.
    This is a synopsis of the Commission's Report and Order, MB Docket 
No. 21-151; RM-11898; DA 21-767, adopted July 2, 2021, and released 
July 2, 2021. The full text of this document is available for download

418-0432 (tty).
    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.
    The Commission will send a copy of this Report and 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).
