FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
47 CFR Part 73
[MB Docket No. 21-123; RM-11890; DA 21-1162; FR ID 49528]
Television Broadcasting Services Fort Bragg, California
AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Commission has before it a petition for rulemaking filed
by One Ministries, Inc. (Petitioner), requesting the allotment of
reserved noncommercial educational channel * 4 at Fort Bragg,
California, as the community's second local service in the DTV Table of
Allotments and its first local NCE television service.
DATES: Comments must be filed on or before November 1, 2021 and reply
comments on or before November 15, 2021.
ADDRESSES: Federal Communications Commission, Office of the Secretary,
45 L Street NE, Washington, DC 20554. In addition to filing comments
with the FCC, interested parties should serve the Petitioner as
follows: Keith Leitch, One Ministries, Inc., P.O. Box 1118, Santa Rosa,
California 95402.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Joyce Bernstein, Media Bureau, at
(202) 418-1647; or Joyce Bernstein, Media Bureau, at
<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#5a103523393f74183f2834292e3f33341a3c3939743d352c"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="571d382e343279153225392423323e391731343479303821">[email protected]</span></a>.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In support of its channel allotment request,
the Petitioner states that Fort Bragg is a community deserving of a new
television broadcast service. According to the Petitioner, Fort Bragg
(pop. 7,179/2010 Census) has a mayor, vice mayor, city manager, and two
council members; police, public works, and utility departments; and a
library, numerous businesses and places of worship, and its own ZIP
Code. In addition, channel 8 (KQSL(TV)) is already allotted to Fort
Bragg. The Petitioner states its intention to file an application for
channel * 4, if allotted, and take all necessary steps to obtain a
construction permit. The Commission concludes the request to amend the
Post-Transition Table of DTV Allotments warrants consideration. The
Petitioner's proposal would result in a second local service to Fort
Bragg consistent with the Commission's television allotment policies.
Channel * 4 can be allotted to Fort Bragg, consistent with the minimum
geographic spacing requirements for new DTV allotments in section
73.623(d) of the Commission's rules, at 39[deg]41'38.4'' N and
123[deg]34'46.7'' W. In addition, the allotment point complies with
section 73.625(a)(1) of the rules as the entire community of Ft. Bragg
is encompassed by the 35 dB[mu] contour.
This is a synopsis of the Commission's Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking, MB Docket No. 21-123; RM-11890; DA 21-1162, adopted
September 15, 2021, and released September 16, 2021. The full text of

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.
