Footnotes

1.  On April 22, 1999, the authorization for Channel 272A, Blountstown, Florida, was amended by a one-step application to specify Channel 274A in lieu of Channel 272A. However, that change was not published in the Federal Register and the FM Table of Allotments was not corrected to reflect the channel change. We take this opportunity to correct the FM Table of Allotments with respect to Blountstown.
