FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
47 CFR Part 73
[MB Docket No. 21-123; RM-11890; DA 22-26; FR ID 67332]
Television Broadcasting Services Fort Bragg, California
AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On September 20, 2021, the Media Bureau, Video Division
(Bureau) issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) in response to a
petition for rulemaking filed by One Ministries, Inc. (Petitioner),
requesting the allotment of reserved noncommercial educational channel
*4 to Fort Bragg, California, in the Table of Allotments as the
community's second local service. For the reasons set forth in the
Report and Order referenced below, the Bureau amends FCC regulations to
allot channel *4 at Fort Bragg. The newly allotted channel will be
authorized pursuant to the Commission's application and selection
procedures for reserved noncommercial educational television stations.
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#8fc5e0f6eceaa1cdeafde1fcfbeae6e1cfe9ececa1e8e0f9"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="f7bd988e9492d9b59285998483929e99b7919494d9909881">[email protected]</span></a>.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The proposed rule was published at 86 FR
54144 on September 30, 2021. The Petitioner filed comments in support
of the petition, as required by the Commission's rules, reaffirming its
commitment to apply for channel *4 and if authorized, to build a
station promptly. No other comments were filed. We believe the public
interest would be served by allotting channel *4 at Fort Bragg,
California. Fort Bragg (population 7,179) clearly qualifies for
community of license status for allotment purposes. In addition, the
proposal would result in a second local service to Fort Bragg under the
Commission's third allotment priority. Moreover, the allotment is
consistent with the minimum geographic spacing requirements for new DTV
allotments in
[[Page 3227]]
the Commission's rules, and the allotment point complies with the rules
as the entire community of Fort Bragg is encompassed by the 35 dB[mu]
contour.

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).
