This document proposes to amend the FM Table of Allotments by allotting Channel 300A at Raymond, Washington, as the community's second or third local service. After the filing of the petition, a change of community application was filed for Station KBSG(FM) from Westport, Washington, to Raymond, Washington. Therefore, if the application is granted prior to the issuance of the Report and Order in this proceeding, Channel 300A would be a third local service at Raymond, if allotted. A staff engineering analysis indicates that Channel 300A can be allotted to Raymond consistent with the minimum distance separation requirements of the Commission's Rules with a site restriction 4.7 kilometers (3.0 miles) southwest of the community. The reference coordinates are 46-38-49 NL and 123-45-11 WL.

Radio Broadcasting Services; Raymond, Washington

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document proposes to amend the FM Table of Allotments by 
allotting Channel 300A at Raymond, Washington, as the community's 
second or third local service. After the filing of the petition, a 
change of community application was filed for Station KBSG(FM) from 
Westport, Washington, to Raymond, Washington. Therefore, if the 
application is granted prior to the issuance of the Report and Order in 
this proceeding, Channel 300A would be a third local service at 
Raymond, if allotted. A staff engineering analysis indicates that 
Channel 300A can be allotted to Raymond consistent with the minimum 
distance separation requirements of the Commission's Rules with a site 
restriction 4.7 kilometers (3.0 miles) southwest of the community. The 
reference coordinates are 46-38-49 NL and 123-45-11 WL.

DATES: Comments must be filed on or before May 16, 2016, and reply 
comments on or before May 31, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a synopsis of the Commission's 
Notice of Proposed Rule Making, MB Docket No. 16-74, adopted March 22, 
2016, and released March 23, 2016. The full text of this Commission 
decision is available for inspection and copying during normal business 
hours in the FCC's Reference Information Center at Portals II, CY-A257, 
445 12th Street SW., Washington, DC 20554. This document does not 
contain proposed information collection requirements subject to the

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 l980 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.
