FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
47 CFR Part 73
[DA 10-2236; MB Docket No. 10-108]
Radio Broadcasting Services: Pacific Junction, IA
AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The staff deletes FM Channel 299C2 at Pacific Junction, Iowa,
because the record in this proceeding reveals that there is no site to
activate this allotment that would meet Federal Aviation Administration
criteria regarding electromagnetic interference to instrument landing
system configurations and the Commission's spacing requirements
Further, there are no other FM channels that could be substituted for
Channel 299C2 at Pacific Junction and no alternate FAA frequencies to
remedy this problem.
DATES: Effective January 7, 2011.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Andrew J. Rhodes, Media Bureau, (202)
418-2180.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a synopsis of the Commission's
Report and Order, MB Docket No. 10-108, adopted November 22, 2010, and

On the Commission's own motion, the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
in this proceeding solicited comment on deleting the Pacific Junction
allotment due to difficulties encountered by Connoisseur Media LLC, the
permittee of Station KGGG(FM), Channel 299C2, Pacific Junction, in
overcoming objections raised by the FAA to the activation of this
allotment. See 75 FR 30756 (June 2, 2010). No parties filed comments
expressing an interest in retaining this allotment or suggested a site
that would be technically feasible and meet FAA criteria. Accordingly,
the allotment was deleted. In addition, Connoisseur's construction
permit (File No. BNPH-20041228AAI, as modified by BMPH-20061019AAM) was
cancelled and the KGGG(FM) call sign was deleted.
Although the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking proposed the deletion of
Channel 299C2, Pacific Junction, Iowa, from Section 73.202(b), the FM
Table of Allotments, the channel is no longer listed in Section
73.202(b) due to its authorization and is included instead in the Media
Bureau's Consolidated Data Base System (``CDBS'') as a reserved
assignment for Station KGGG(FM). Accordingly, the staff deleted Channel
299C2 from the Media Bureau's CDBS instead of from Section 73.202(b).
The Report and Order 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 the Report and Order in
this proceeding 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).
Federal Communications Commission.
John A. Karousos,
Assistant Chief, Audio Division, Media Bureau.
