Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 10 / Tuesday, January 17, 2023 / Rules and Regulations
certifies, that this regulatory document
will not have a significant impact on the
operations of a substantial number of
small rural hospitals.
Section 202 of the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 also
requires that agencies assess anticipated
costs and benefits before issuing any
rule whose mandates require spending
in any 1 year of $100 million in 1995
dollars, updated annually for inflation.
In 2022, that threshold is approximately
$165 million. This regulatory document
will have no consequential effect on
State, local, or tribal governments or on
the private sector.
Executive Order 13132 establishes
certain requirements that an agency
must meet when it promulgates a
proposed rule (and subsequent final rule
or other regulatory document) that
imposes substantial direct requirement
costs on State and local governments,
preempts State law, or otherwise has
Federalism implications. Since this
regulatory document does not impose
any costs on State or local governments,
the requirements of Executive Order
13132 are not applicable.
In accordance with the provisions of
Executive Order 12866, this document
was reviewed by the Office of
Management and Budget.
The Administrator of the Centers for
Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS),
Chiquita Brooks-LaSure, having
reviewed and approved this document,
authorizes Lynette Wilson, who is the
Federal Register Liaison, to
electronically sign this document for
purposes of publication in the Federal
Register.

rulemaking filed by RNN Boston
License Co., LLC (Petitioner), the
licensee of WWMD (Station), channel
10, Norwell, Massachusetts, requesting
the substitution of channel 36 for
channel 10 at Norwell in the Table of
TV Allotments. For the reasons set forth
in the Report and Order referenced
below, the Bureau amends FCC
regulations to substitute channel 36 for
channel 10 at Norwell.
DATES: Effective January 17, 2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
proposed rule was published at 87 FR
68432 on November 15, 2022. The
Petitioner filed comments in support of
the petition reaffirming its commitment
to apply for channel 36. No other
comments were filed.
The Bureau believes the public
interest would be served by substituting
channel 36 for channel 10 at Norwell,
Massachusetts. The Station has received
many complaints from viewers unable
to receive a reliable signal on VHF
channel 10, and 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. An analysis
conducted using the Commission’s
TVStudy software tool indicates that
WWDP’s proposed channel substitution
is predicted to create areas where
viewers may lose service. However, the
Bureau believes any possible harm
resulting from the loss of service to
some viewers is outweighed by the
overall benefit of improving reception to
the Station’s viewers, including in the
Station’s community of license.
Moreover, the viewers in the loss area
are already well-served by five or more
stations and no viewers will lose service
from one of the four major networks or
any noncommercial educational station.
As the Petitioner points out, the
Commission is generally most
concerned where there is a loss of an
area’s only network or noncommercial
educational TV service, or where the
loss results in an area becoming less that
well-served, i.e., served by fewer than
five full-power stations.

Federal Communications
Commission.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
On April 5, 2022, the Media
Bureau, Video Division (Bureau) issued
a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
(NPRM) in response to a petition for
rulemaking filed by Gray Television
Licensee, LLC (Petitioner or Gray), the
licensee of WMC–TV (Station or WMC–
TV), channel 5, Memphis, Tennessee,
requesting the substitution of channel
30 for channel 5 at Memphis in the
Table of TV Allotments. For the reasons
set forth in the Report and Order
referenced below, the Bureau amends
FCC regulations to substitute channel 30
for channel 5 at Memphis.
DATES: Effective January 17, 2023.
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 87 FR
22166 on April 14, 2022. The Petitioner
filed comments in support of the
petition reaffirming its commitment to
apply for channel 30. No other
comments were filed.
The Bureau believes the public
interest would be served by substituting
channel 30 for channel 5 at Memphis,
Tennessee. The proposed channel
substitution will resolve significant
over-the-air reception problems in
WMC–TV’s service area due to its
operation on a low VHF channel,
reception problems which the
Commission has recognized can exist on
VHF channels. An analysis using the
Commission’s TVStudy software tool
indicates that WMC–TV’s move from
channel 5 to channel 30 is predicted to
create an area where 4,072 persons may
lose service. The loss area, however, is
largely overlapped by the noise limited
contours of other NBC affiliated stations
and most viewers will continue to
receive service from five or more
stations. In addition, the Petitioner
acquired three LPTV stations and
constructed modified facilities to
deliver NBC programming to viewers in
the loss area. As a result, only 64

persons would either (1) no longer
receive NBC network programming or
(2) no longer receive service from five or
more full power television services. In
practice, Gray expects that few, if any,
persons who are currently able to
receive WMC–TV’s over-the-air signal
on channel 5 would no longer be able
to receive WMC–TV’s over-the-air signal
as a result of the Station’s transition to
channel 30. Although the Petitioner’s
proposal would result in a loss for a
limited number of viewers, the Bureau
finds that the overall benefits of the
proposed channel change outweighs any
possible harm to the public interest
when taking into account the ability of
all but a de minimis number of viewers
to access NBC programming from
another source.
