SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a synopsis of the Commission's
Notice of Proposed Rule Making, MB Docket No. 07-176, adopted August
15, 2007, and released August 17, 2007. The full text of this
Commission decision is available for inspection and copying during
normal business hours in the FCC Reference Information Center (Room CY-
A257), 445 12th Street, SW., Washington, DC 20554. The complete text of
this decision may also be purchased from the Commission's copy
contractor, Best Copy and Printing, Inc., 445 12th Street, SW., Room
CY-B402, Washington, DC 20554, (800) 378-3160, or via the company's Web
site, http://www.bcpiweb.com. This document does not contain proposed
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).
The Provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 do not
apply to this proceeding. Members of the public should note that from
the time a Notice of Proposed Rule Making 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.

see 47 CFR 1.415 and 1.420.
