Executive Order 13563 (Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review) emphasizes the importance of quantifying both costs and benefits, reducing costs, harmonizing rules, and promoting flexibility. The Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs has determined that this rule is not a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866. The Regulatory Impact Analysis associated with this rulemaking can be found as a supporting document at www.regulations.gov. Regulatory Flexibility Act The Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq. (RFA), imposes certain requirements on Federal agency rules that are subject to the notice and comment requirements of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), 5 U.S.C. 553(b). This final rule is exempt from the notice and comment requirements of the APA because the 2015 Act directed the Department to issue the annual adjustments without regard to section 553 of the APA. Therefore, the requirements of the RFA applicable to notice and comment rulemaking do not apply to this rule. Accordingly, the Department is not required either to certify that the final rule would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities or to conduct a regulatory flexibility analysis. Unfunded Mandates The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 requires, at 2 U.S.C. 1532, that agencies prepare an assessment of anticipated costs and benefits before issuing any rule that may result in the expenditure by State, local, and tribal governments, in the aggregate, or by the private sector, of $100 million or more (adjusted annually for inflation) in any one year. This final rule will have no such effect on State, local, and tribal governments, or on the private sector. jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with RULES1 Paperwork Reduction Act This final rule contains no provisions constituting a collection of information under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501–3521).

(Petitioner), requesting the allotment of reserved noncommercial educational channel *4 to Fort Bragg, California, in the Table of Allotments as the community’s second local service. For the reasons set forth in the Report and Order referenced below, the Bureau amends FCC regulations to allot channel *4 at Fort Bragg.

The Petitioner filed comments in support of the petition, as required by the Commission’s rules, reaffirming its commitment to apply for channel *4 and if authorized, to build a station promptly. No other comments were filed. We believe the public interest would be served by allotting channel *4 at Fort Bragg, California. Fort Bragg (population 7,179) clearly qualifies for community of license status for allotment purposes. In addition, the proposal would result in a second local service to Fort Bragg under the Commission’s third allotment priority. Moreover, the allotment is consistent with the minimum geographic spacing requirements for new DTV allotments in E:\FR\FM\21JAR1.SGM 21JAR1 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 14 / Friday, January 21, 2022 / Rules and Regulations the Commission’s rules, and the allotment point complies with the rules as the entire community of Fort Bragg is encompassed by the 35 dBm contour.

ACTION: Final rule. AGENCY: On July 28, 2021, the Media Bureau, Video Division (Bureau) issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) in response to a petition for rulemaking filed by KVUU–TV Broadcasting Corporation (Petitioner), the licensee of KVUU, channel 9, Henderson, Nevada, requesting the substitution of channel 24 for channel 9 at Henderson in the Table of Allotments. For the reasons set forth in the Report and Order referenced below, the Bureau amends FCC regulations to substitute channel 24 for channel 9 at Henderson. DATES: Effective January 21, 2022. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Joyce Bernstein, Media Bureau, at (202) 418–1647 or Joyce.Bernstein@fcc.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The proposed rule was published at 86 FR 41916 on August 4, 2021. The Petitioner filed comments in support of the petition reaffirming its commitment to apply for channel 24. Gray Television, LLC, which acquired the station, also filed comments in support of the petition and stating its commitment to apply for channel 24. In support of its channel substitution request, the Petitioner states that the Commission has recognized that VHF channels have certain characteristics that pose challenges for their use in providing digital television service, and that KVVU–TV has received numerous complaints of poor or no reception from viewers within its noise limited contour. While the channel 24 noise SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00053 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 3227 limited contour will not fully encompass the existing channel 9 contour, only 152 persons would lose service from KVVU, and no viewers would lose access to their first or second over-the-air television service. While 152 persons are predicted to lose service from KVVU, the Commission considers such a loss to be de minimis. This is a synopsis of the Commission’s Report and Order, MB Docket No. 21–124; RM–11891; DA 22– 32, adopted January 12, 2022, and released January 12, 2022.
