BILLING CODE 8320-01-P 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 *Joyce.Bernstein@fcc.gov.* 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 the Commission's rules, and the allotment point complies with the rules as the entire community of Fort Bragg is encompassed by the 35 dBμ contour. This is a synopsis of the Commission's *Report and Order,* MB Docket No. 21-123; RM-11890; DA 22-26, adopted January 11, 2022, and released January 11, 2022. The full text of this document is available for download at *https://www.fcc.gov/edocs.* To request materials in accessible formats for people with disabilities (braille, large print, electronic files, audio format), send an email to *fcc504@fcc.gov* or call the Consumer & Governmental Affairs Bureau at 202-418-0530 (voice), 202-418-0432 (tty). 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). List of Subjects in 47 CFR Part 73 Television. Federal Communications Commission. Thomas Horan, Chief of Staff, Media Bureau.
