This document proposes to amend the FM Table of Allotments, by substituting noncommercial educational Channel *278A for Channel *296A at Pima, Arizona to accommodate the hybrid application, requesting modification of the license for Station KIKO(FM) to specify operation on Channel 243C2 rather than Channel 247C2 at Claypool, Arizona. A staff engineering analysis indicates that Channel *278A can be allotted to Pima consistent with the minimum distance separation requirements of the Commission's rules with a site restriction 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) southeast of the community. The reference coordinates are 32-49- 46 NL and 109-45-16 WL.

[DA 16-975; MB Docket No. 16-270; RM-11772]


Radio Broadcasting Services; Pima, Arizona

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: This document proposes to amend the FM Table of Allotments, by 
substituting noncommercial educational Channel *278A for Channel *296A 
at Pima, Arizona to accommodate the hybrid application, requesting 
modification of the license for Station KIKO(FM) to specify operation 
on Channel 243C2 rather than Channel 247C2 at Claypool, Arizona. A 
staff engineering analysis indicates that Channel *278A can be allotted 
to Pima consistent with the minimum distance separation requirements of 
the Commission's rules with a site restriction 10 kilometers (6.2 
miles) southeast of the community. The reference coordinates are 32-49-
46 NL and 109-45-16 WL.

DATES: Comments must be filed on or before October 17, 2016, and reply 
comments on or before November 1, 2016.

counter proponent as follows: John F. Garziglia, Esq., Womble Carlyle 
Sandridge & Rice, LLP, 1200 19th Street NW., Suite 500, Washington, DC

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a synopsis of the Commission's 
Notice of Proposed Rule Making, MB Docket No. 16-270, adopted August 
25, 2016, and released August 26, 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. The 
full text is also available online at http://apps.fcc.gov/ecfs/. 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).
    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.
    For information regarding proper filing procedures for comments, 
see 47 CFR 1.415 and 1.420.
