At the request of ION Television License, LLC (ION), the Commission amends the DTV Table of Allotments to reallot channel 17 from Block Island, Rhode Island, to Newport, Rhode Island. The Commission also grants ION's request to change WPXQ's community of license to Newport, Rhode Island, amending the DTV Table of Allotments to reflect this change while modifying WPXQ's license to reflect that its community of license is Newport, Rhode Island. The new allotment will be mutually exclusive with WPXQ's existing allotment and the reallotment will result in a preferential arrangement of allotments pursuant to the Commission's second allotment priority by providing Newport its first local television service. The reallotment will cause no public harm because Block Island will continue to be served by five full power commercial and one full power non-commercial television stations and receive over-the-air service from WPXQ.

                                               1. The EPA recommends that users consult Section VIII of the OSHA Technical Manual for information on selecting the appropriate types of
                                             personal protective equipment for all listed fire suppression agents. The EPA has no intention of duplicating or displacing OSHA coverage related
                                             to the use of personal protective equipment (e.g., respiratory protection), fire protection, hazard communication, worker training or any other oc-
                                             cupational safety and health standard with respect to halon substitutes.
                                               2. Use of all listed fire suppression agents should conform to relevant OSHA requirements, including 29 CFR part 1910, subpart L, sections
                                             1910.160 and 1910.162.
                                               3. Per OSHA requirements, protective gear (SCBA) should be available in the event personnel should reenter the area.
                                               4. Discharge testing should be strictly limited to that which is essential to meet safety or performance requirements.
                                               5. The agent should be recovered from the fire protection system in conjunction with testing or servicing, and recycled for later use or
                                             destroyed.
