2017-18831. Radio Broadcasting Services; Various Locations

AGENCY:

Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION:

Final rule.

SUMMARY:

This document amends the FM Table of Allotments, of the Commission's rules, by reinstating certain vacant FM allotments. These FM allotments are considered vacant because of the cancellation of the associated authorizations and licenses, or the dismissal of long-form auction applications. These vacant FM allotments have previously undergone notice and comment rule making. Reinstatement of the vacant allotments is merely a ministerial action to effectuate licensing procedures. Therefore, we find for good cause that further notice and comment are unnecessary.

DATES:

Effective September 6, 2017.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Rolanda F. Smith, Media Bureau, [phone].
