SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
This is a summary of the Commission's Report and Order, MB Docket No. 07210, adopted October 8, 2008, and released October 10, 2008. The Notice of Proposed Rule Making proposed the allotment of Channel 290A at Butte Falls and Channel 232C3 at Netarts. See 72 FR 59507, published October 22, 2007. The full text of this Commission decision is available for inspection and copying during normal business hours in the Commission's Reference Information Center, 445 Twelfth Street, SW., Washington, DC 20554. The complete text of this decision may also be purchased from the Commission's duplicating contractor, Best Copy and Printing, Inc., 445 12th Street, SW., Room CYB402, Washington, DC 20554, telephone 18003783160 or http:// www.BCPIWEB.com. The Commission will send a copy of this Report and Order in a report to be sent to Congress and the Government Accountability Office pursuant to the Congressional Review Act, see 5 U.S.C. 801(a)(1)(A).
The new Butte Falls and Netarts vacant allotments accommodates two
hybrid communities of license applications involving Station KTILFM,
Channel 232C3, Tillamook, Oregon and new FM station, Channel 225A, Butte Falls, Oregon. See File Nos. BPH20070125ADO and BNPH
20060310ACD, respectively. See also 72 FR 14554, published March 28, 2007 and 72 FR 7032, published February 14, 2007.
The hybrid community of license application, File No. BPH
20070125ADO proposes the reallotment of Channel 232C3 at Tillamook to
Channel 232C2 at Government Camp, Oregon, and modification of the
Station KTILFM license to reflect the change. To accommodate the
Station KTILFM application, we issued Orders to Show Cause (``OTSC'')
directed to the licensees of Station KXIX, Channel 231C0, Bend, Oregon
and Station KRXF, Channel 224C2, Sunriver, Oregon. See Letter to GCC
bend, LLC, Ref. No. 1800B3HC (MB May 23, 2007) (OTSC to Station KXIX
licensee) and Letter to Fields Pond Group, Ref. No. 1800B3HC (MB May
23, 2007) (OTSC to Station KRXF licensee). No responses were received.
Therefore, the licensees of Stations KXIX and KRXF are deemed to have
consented to the channel substitutions with respect to Channel 225C0 at
Bend, Oregon for Station KXIX and Channel 231C2 at Sunriver, Oregon for
Station KRXF, respectively. See 47 CFR Section 1.87. See also
Circleville, Ohio, Second Report and Order, 8 FCC 2d 159 (1967).
Additionally, the hybrid community of license application, File No.
BNPH20060310ACD, proposes the reallotment of Channel 225A from Butte
Falls to Talent, Oregon, and modification of the new FM station license
to specify operation at Talent. The applications, File Nos. BPH
20070125ADO and BNPH20060310ACD were granted simultaneously with the release of the aforementioned Report and Order.
