AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.
ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: The Audio Division grants a Petition for Rule Making issued at
the request of George S. Flinn, Jr., proposing the allotment of Channel
267A at Linden, Tennessee, as its first local service. Channel 267A at
Linden can be allotted, consistent with the minimum distance separation
requirements of the Commission's Rules, at reference coordinates 35-39-
45 NL and 87-44-25 WL with the imposition of a site restriction of 10.1
kilometers (6.3 miles) northeast of Linden. Due to the fact that
Channel 267A at Linden already exists in the FM Table of Allotments,
this final rule does not contain any amendatory language. See
Supplementary Information, supra.
DATES: Effective December 8, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a summary of the Commission's Report
and Order, MB Docket No. 07-280, adopted October 22, 2008, and released
October 24, 2008. The Notice of Proposed Rule Making proposed the
allotment of Channel 267A at Linden, Tennessee. See 73 FR 2211,
published January 14, 2008. The full text of this Commission decision
is available for inspection and copying during normal business hours in
the Commission's Reference Information Center, 445 Twelfth Street, SW.,

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 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).
The allotment of Channel 267A at Linden was allotted herein to
prevent removal of Linden's sole local service due to the grant of a
contingent hybrid community of license application, File No. BNPH-
20070502AFM. The FM Table already lists vacant but applied for Channel
267A at Linden. See 67 FR 59213, published September 20, 2002. In this
regard, George S. Flinn, Jr. was the winning bidder of this vacant
Linden allotment in Auction 70 for authority to construct a new FM
station. Thereafter, the applicant filed a hybrid community of license
application to substitute Channel 264C3 for vacant but applied for
Channel 267A at Linden, reallot Channel 264C3 from Linden to
Waynesboro, Tennessee, as its first local service, and modify the new
FM station license to specify Channel 264C3 at Waynesboro. See BNPH-
20070502AFM. The application was granted simultaneously with the
release of the Report and Order in this proceeding. As a result, the
Media Bureau's Consolidated Database System will reflect the assignment
of Channel 264C3 at Waynesboro, Tennessee in lieu of Channel 267A at
Linden, Tennessee for this new FM station.
