47 CFR Part 73
[MB Docket No. 21-54; RM-11879; DA 21-702; FR ID 34796]
Television Broadcasting Services Peoria and Oswego, Illinois
AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On April 14, 2021, the Media Bureau, Video Division (Bureau)
issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) in response to a petition
for rulemaking filed by Four Seasons Peoria, LLC (Petitioner),
requesting an amendment of the DTV Table of Allotments to delete
channel 10 at Peoria, Illinois, substitute channel 10 at Oswego,
Illinois, and modify the WAOE license to specify Oswego as its
community of license. For the reasons set forth in the Report and Order
referenced below, channel 10 is deleted from Peoria, Illinois, and
allotted to Oswego, Illinois. Further, WAOE's community of license is
modified to Oswego, Illinois.
DATES: Effective July 2, 2021.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Andrew Manley, Media Bureau, at (202)
418-0596 or <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#03426d677166742d4e626d6f667a436560602d646c75"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="3e7f505a4c5b4910735f50525b477e585d5d10595148">[email protected]</span></a>.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The proposed rule was published at 86 FR
18934 on April 12, 2021. The Petitioner filed comments in support of
the petition. No other comments were filed. We believe the public
interest would be served by allotting channel 10 at Oswego, Illinois.
Oswego (pop. 34,383) is the largest community in Kendall County,
Illinois, and clearly qualifies for community of license status for
allotment purposes. In addition, the proposal would result in a first
local service to Oswego. Moreover, the allotment is consistent with the
minimum geographic spacing requirements for new DTV allotments in the
Commission's rules, and the allotment point complies with the rules as
the entire community of Oswego is encompassed by the 43 dB[mu] contour.
Finally, since the Petitioner does not propose any changes in WAOE's
authorized facilities, the authorized and proposed facilities are
mutually exclusive.
This is a synopsis of the Commission's Report and Order, MB Docket
No. 21-54; RM-11879; DA 21-702, adopted June 16, 2021, and released
June 16, 2021. The full text of this document is available for download

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.
The Commission will send a copy of this Report and Order in a
report to be sent to Congress and the Government Accountability Office
pursuant to the Congressional Review Act, see 5 U.S.C. 801(a)(1)(A).
