While the LPTV station is secondary
and can be displaced, we believe given
the rural nature of Montana and
neighboring states it is unlikely the
LPTV station would be displaced, and if
it was, Scripps would easily be able to
find a displacement channel for it.
This document does not contain
information collection requirements
subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995, Public Law 104–13. In addition,

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

review, see 47 CFR 1.1208. There are,
however, exceptions to this prohibition,
which can be found in § 1.1204(a) of the
Commission’s rules, 47 CFR 1.1204(a).
Pursuant to §§ 1.415 and 1.420 of the
