47 CFR Part 73
[MB Docket No. 21-126; RM-11893; DA 22-25; FR ID 67334]
Television Broadcasting Services Monroe, Louisiana
AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On September 22, 2021, 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), the licensee of KNOE-TV, channel 8, Monroe, Louisiana,
requesting the substitution of channel 24 for channel 8 at Monroe in
the Table of Allotments. For the reasons set forth in the Report and
Order referenced below, the Bureau amends FCC regulations to substitute
channel 24 for channel 8 at Monroe.
DATES: Effective January 20, 2022.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Joyce Bernstein, Media Bureau, at
(202) 418-1647 or <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#03496c7a60662d4166716d7077666a6d436560602d646c75"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="bdf7d2c4ded893ffd8cfd3cec9d8d4d3fddbdede93dad2cb">[email protected]</span></a>.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The proposed rule was published at 86 FR
54417 on October 1, 2021. The Petitioner filed comments in support of
the petition reaffirming its commitment to apply for channel 24. The
Petitioner states that the Commission has recognized the deleterious
effects of manmade noise from nearby electrical devices including on
the reception of digital VHF signals and that the propagation
characteristics of VHF channels allow undesired signals and noise to be
receivable at relatively farther distances compared to UHF channels. In
addition, no existing viewers will lose service and an additional
12,868 persons would gain service if the channel substitution is
granted.
This is a synopsis of the Commission's Report and Order, MB Docket

This document does not contain information collection requirements
subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. In

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).
