Abstract

This document amends the FM Table of Allotments, of the Commission's rules, by removing certain vacant FM allotment channels that were auctioned through our FM competitive bidding process or undergone FM noncommercial filing window, and are no longer considered vacant FM allotments. The FM allotments are currently authorized licensed stations. FM assignments for authorized stations and reserved facilities will be reflected solely in Media Bureau's Licensing Management System (LMS). These FM allotment channels have previously undergone notice and comment rulemaking. This action constitutes an editorial change in the FM Table of Allotments. Therefore, we find for good cause that further notice and comment are unnecessary.

licensed stations. FM assignments for authorized stations and reserved 
facilities will be reflected solely in Media Bureau's Licensing 
Management System (LMS). These FM allotment channels have previously 
undergone notice and comment rulemaking. This action constitutes an 
editorial change in the FM Table of Allotments. Therefore, we find for 
good cause that further notice and comment are unnecessary.
