Provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility Act of l980 do not apply
to this proceeding. Members of the public should note that from the
time a notice of proposed rulemaking is issued until the matter is no
longer subject to Commission consideration or court review, all ex
parte contacts are prohibited in Commission proceedings, such as this
one, which involve channel allotments. See 47 CFR 1.1204(b) for rules
governing permissible ex parte contacts.
