ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
The Video Division, Media

of Proposed Rulemaking issued in
response to a Petition for Rulemaking
filed by One Ministries, Inc. (Petitioner).
The Petitioner requests the allotment of

(Tulare), in the Table of TV Allotments
as the community’s first local television
service. The Petitioner filed comments
in support of the petition, as required by

commitment to apply for channel *3,

facility.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
proposed rule was published at 88 FR
57032 on August 22, 2023. The
Petitioner filed comments in support of
the petition reaffirming its commitment
to apply for channel *3. No other
comments were received.
The Bureau believes the public
interest would be served by allotting
channel *3 at Tulare, which has a
population of 70,733 and clearly
qualifies for community of license status
for allotment purposes. As stated in the
NPRM, Tulare is known for its
agricultural production and is home to
the nation’s largest single-site dairy
complex. In addition, Petitioner states
that Tulare has a mayor and five council
members; police, public works,
planning, engineering, and community
and economic development
departments; a library, school district;
and numerous businesses and places of
worship. In addition, the proposal
would result in a first local service to
Tulare under the Commission’s second
allotment priority. The Petitioner
demonstrates, and a staff engineering
analysis confirms, that channel *3 can
be allotted to Tulare consistent with the
minimum geographic spacing
requirements for new DTV allotments in
section 73.623(d) of the rules. In
addition, the allotment point complies
with section 73.625(a)(1) of the rules as
the entire community of Tulare is
encompassed by the 35 dBm contour.
