The Board is amending Regulation D, Reserve Requirements of Depository Institutions, to reflect the annual indexing of the reserve requirement exemption amount and the low reserve tranche for 2009.

Radio Broadcasting Services; Oolitic, IN
This document requests comments on a petition for rulemaking filed by Bruce Quinn, requesting the allotment of Channel 231A at Oolitic, Indiana. The coordinates for Channel 231A at Oolitic, Indiana, are 38-59-16 NL and 86-37-47 WL. There is a site restriction of 13.2 kilometers (8.2 miles) northwest of the community. Proposed Channel 231A is short-spaced to the licensed site of Station WQKC-FM, Channel 229B, Seymour, Indiana. However, Station WQKC-FM's license was modified to specify operation on Channel 230A at Sellersburg, Indiana in MB Docket No. 03-98 and the FM Table of Allotments was amended to reflect this change.
