The purpose of such benchmarks is to create a quantifiable method by which the contractor’s progress in correcting identified violations and/or deficiencies can be measured. (e) Show cause notices. When the Director has reasonable cause to believe that a contractor has violated the equal opportunity clause the Director may issue a notice requiring the contractor to show cause, within 30 days, why monitoring, enforcement proceedings, or other appropriate action to ensure compliance should not be instituted. OFCCP may issue a Show Cause Notice without first issuing a Predetermination Notice or Notice of Violation when the contractor has failed to provide access to its premises for an on-site review or refused to provide access to witnesses, records, or other information. The Show Cause Notice will include each violation that OFCCP has identified at the time of issuance. Where OFCCP identifies additional violations after issuing a Show Cause Notice, OFCCP will modify or amend the Show Cause Notice. (f) Expedited conciliation option. OFCCP may agree to waive the procedures set forth in paragraphs (a) and/or (b) of this section to enter directly into a conciliation agreement with a contractor. OFCCP may offer the contractor this expedited conciliation option, but may not require or insist that the contractor avail itself of the expedited conciliation option. § 60–741.64 [Removed and Reserved] 29.

ACTION: Proposed rule. AGENCY: The Commission has before it a petition for rulemaking filed by Gray SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:35 Mar 21, 2022 Jkt 256001 Television Licensee, LLC (Petitioner), the licensee of WDTV (CBS), channel 5, Weston, West Virginia. The Petitioner requests the substitution of channel 33 for channel 5 at Weston in the Table of Allotments. DATES: Comments must be filed on or before April 21, 2022 and reply comments on or before May 6, 2022. ADDRESSES: 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, 2050 M Street NW, Washington, DC 20036. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Joyce Bernstein, Media Bureau, at (202) 418–1647 or 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 WDTV’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. A total of 388,223 persons are predicted to lose service using a contour analysis if the Bureau grants the channel 33 proposal. In evaluating the loss areas, Gray first considered to what extent the loss areas were served by other CBS affiliates, and concluded that all but 4,142 persons would continue to receive CBS service from other stations in the region, as well as continue to be well served by five or more television services. According to the Petitioner, a terrainlimited analysis using the Commission’s TVStudy software demonstrates that only 498 persons would no longer receive CBS network programming, or receive service from five or more full power television services. Gray also took into account its licensed sister station WVFX, which is co-located with WDTV and carries CBS network programing on a multicast channel. In addition, Gray relies on CBS programming carried on commonly owned and operated station WIYE–LD, Parkersburg, West Virginia. We note that while low power television stations are secondary and can be displaced by full power television stations, we believe it is unlikely that WIYE–LD will be displaced, and determined that there are PO 00000 Frm 00051 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 16155 multiple displacement channels available if it was displaced.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In support, 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, including propagation characteristics that allow undesired signals and noise to be receivable at relatively far distances. According to the Petitioner, it has received many complaints from lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with PROPOSALS1 SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:35 Mar 21, 2022 Jkt 256001 viewers unable to receive a reliable signal on channel 7. The Engineering Statement provided with the Petition confirms that the proposed channel 25 contour would continue to reach virtually all of the population within the Station’s current service area and fully cover the city of Missoula. An analysis using the Commission’s TVStudy software tool indicates that KPAX–TV’s move from channel 7 to channel 25 is predicted to create a small area where 444 persons are predicted to lose service. The loss area, however, is partially overlapped by the noise limited contour of Scripps’ owned television station KXLF–TV, Butte, Montana, which is a CBS network affiliate, and reduces the number who are predicted to lose CBS network service to 121 persons.

Television Broadcasting Services Weston, West Virginia

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Commission has before it a petition for rulemaking filed 
by Gray Television Licensee, LLC (Petitioner), the licensee of WDTV 
(CBS), channel 5, Weston, West Virginia. The Petitioner requests the 
substitution of channel 33 for channel 5 at Weston in the Table of 
Allotments.

DATES: Comments must be filed on or before April 21, 2022 and reply 
comments on or before May 6, 2022.

ADDRESSES: 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, 2050 M 
Street NW, Washington, DC 20036.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Joyce Bernstein, Media Bureau, at 
(202) 418-1647 or [email protected].

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 WDTV'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. A total of 
388,223 persons are predicted to lose service using a contour analysis 
if the Bureau grants the channel 33 proposal. In evaluating the loss 
areas, Gray first considered to what extent the loss areas were served 
by other CBS affiliates, and concluded that all but 4,142 persons would 
continue to receive CBS service from other stations in the region, as 
well as continue to be well served by five or more television services.
    According to the Petitioner, a terrain-limited analysis using the 
Commission's TVStudy software demonstrates that only 498 persons would 
no longer receive CBS network programming, or receive service from five 
or more full power television services. Gray also took into account its 
licensed sister station WVFX, which is co-located with WDTV and carries 
CBS network programing on a multicast channel. In addition, Gray relies 
on CBS programming carried on commonly owned and operated station WIYE-
LD, Parkersburg, West Virginia. We note that while low power television 
stations are secondary and can be displaced by full power television 
stations, we believe it is unlikely that WIYE-LD will be displaced, and 
determined that there are multiple displacement channels available if 
it was displaced.

Rulemaking, MB Docket No. 22-112; RM-11919; DA 22-240, adopted March 9, 
2022, and released March 9, 2022. The full text of this document is

    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).
