Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 188 / Friday, October 1, 2021 / Proposed Rules
The Commission has before it
a petition for rulemaking filed by Gray
Television Licensee, LLC (Petitioner),
the licensee of WYMT–TV (CBS),
channel 12, Hazard, Kentucky. The
Petitioner requests the substitution of
channel 20 for channel 12 at in the DTV
Table of Allotments.
DATES: Comments must be filed on or
before November 1, 2021 and reply
comments on or before November 15,
2021.
SUMMARY:
Federal Communications
Commission, Office of the Secretary, 45
L Street NE, Washington, DC 20554. In
addition to filing comments with the
FCC, interested parties should serve
counsel for the Petitioner as follows:
Joan Stewart, Esq., Wiley Rein LLP,
1776 K Street NW, Washington, DC
20006.
ADDRESSES:
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Joyce Bernstein, Media Bureau, at (202)
418–1647; or Joyce Bernstein, Media
Bureau, at Joyce.Bernstein@fcc.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
support, the Petitioner states the
proposed channel substitution serves
the public interest because it will
resolve significant over-the-air reception
problems in WYMT–TV’s existing
service area. The Petitioner further
states that the Commission has
recognized the deleterious effects
manmade noise has on the reception of
digital VHF signals, and that the
propagation characteristics of these
channels allow undesired signals and
noise to be receivable at relatively
farther distances compared to UHF
channels and nearby electrical devices
can cause interference. While the
proposed channel 20 facility is
predicted to result in loss of service to
15,460 persons, less than 100 persons
will continue to receive service from
five other television stations, and those
persons will continue to receive service
from four other television stations.
This is a synopsis of the
Commission’s Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking, MB Docket No. 21–125;
RM–11892; DA 21–1189, adopted
September 21, 2021, and released
September 22, 2021. The full text of this

Small Business Paperwork Relief Act of
2002, Public Law 107–198, see 44 U.S.C.

however, exceptions to this prohibition,
which can be found in § 1.1204(a) of the
Commission’s rules, 47 CFR 1.1204(a).

on the reception of digital VHF signals,
and that the propagation characteristics
of these channels allow undesired
signals and noise to be receivable at
relatively farther distances compared to
UHF channels and nearby electrical
devices can cause interference. Finally,
the Petitioner states that the proposed
channel 24 noise limited contour
extends beyond the current channel 8
noise limited contour, and thus, no
existing viewers will lose service and an
additional 12,868 persons would gain
service if the channel substitution is
granted.
