FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
47 CFR Part 73
[MB Docket No. 21-124; RM-11891; DA 22-32; FR ID 67662]
Television Broadcasting Services Henderson, Nevada
AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On July 28, 2021, the Media Bureau, Video Division (Bureau)
issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) in response to a petition
for rulemaking filed by KVUU-TV Broadcasting Corporation (Petitioner),
the licensee of KVUU, channel 9, Henderson, Nevada, requesting the
substitution of channel 24 for channel 9 at Henderson 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 9 at Henderson.
DATES: Effective January 21, 2022.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Joyce Bernstein, Media Bureau, at
(202) 418-1647 or <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#7c3613051f19523e190e120f081915123c1a1f1f521b130a"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="410b2e3822246f0324332f323524282f012722226f262e37">[email protected]</span></a>.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The proposed rule was published at 86 FR
41916 on August 4, 2021. The Petitioner filed comments in support of
the petition reaffirming its commitment to apply for channel 24. Gray
Television, LLC, which acquired the station, also filed comments in
support of the petition and stating its commitment to apply for channel
24. In support of its channel substitution request, the Petitioner
states that the Commission has recognized that VHF channels have
certain characteristics that pose challenges for their use in providing
digital television service, and that KVVU-TV has received numerous
complaints of poor or no reception from viewers within its noise
limited contour. While the channel 24 noise limited contour will not
fully encompass the existing channel 9 contour, only 152 persons would
lose service from KVVU, and no viewers would lose access to their first
or second over-the-air television service. While 152 persons are
predicted to lose service from KVVU, the Commission considers such a
loss to be de minimis.
This is a synopsis of the Commission's Report and Order, MB Docket
No. 21-124; RM-11891; DA 22-32, adopted January 12, 2022, and released
January 12, 2022. The full text of this document is available for

This document does not contain information collection requirements
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).
