AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: This document requests comments on a Petition for Rulemaking 
filed by Northwest Florida Media, LLC, proposing to amend the FM Table 
of Allotments, of the Commission's rules, by allotting Channel 295A at 
Fort Walton Beach, Florida, as a sixth local service. A staff 
engineering analysis indicates that Channel 295A can be allotted to 
Fort Walton Beach, consistent with the minimum distance separation 
requirements of the Commission's rules without a site restriction. The 
reference coordinates are 30-24-40 NL and 86-37-28 WL.

DATES: Comments must be filed on or before March 27, 2017, and reply 
comments on or before April 11, 2017.

ADDRESSES: Secretary, Federal Communications Commission, 445 Twelfth 
Street SW., Washington, DC 20554. In addition to filing comments with 
the FCC, interested parties should serve the petitioner as follows: 
David D. Burns, Esq., Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP, 1200 
Seventeenth Street NW., Washington, DC 20036.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rolanda F. Smith, Media Bureau, (202)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a synopsis of the Commission's 
Notice of Proposed Rule Making, MB Docket No. 16-422, adopted February 
2, 2017 and released February 3, 2017. 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 Twelfth 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.
