Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 39 / Tuesday, March 2, 2021 / Proposed Rules awarded to a rural service provider. In addition, the Commission proposes a $10 million cap on the overall amount of bidding credits that any winning small business bidder may apply to licenses won in counties located within any PEA with a population of 500,000
or less. Based on the technical characteristics of the 2.5 GHz band and its analysis of past auction data, the Commission anticipates that its proposed caps will allow the majority of small businesses to take full advantage of the bidding credit program, thereby lowering the relative costs of participation for small businesses.
118. These proposed procedures for the conduct of Auction 108 constitute the more specific implementation of the competitive bidding rules contemplated by parts 1 and 30 of the Commissions rules, 47 CFR parts 1 and 30, the 2.5
GHz Report and Order, and relevant competitive bidding orders, and are fully consistent therewith.
119. Federal Rules that May Duplicate, Overlap, or Conflict with the Proposed Rules. None.

Television Broadcasting Services Kearney, Nebraska Federal Communications Commission.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
AGENCY:
The Commission has before it a petition for rulemaking Petition filed by KHGI Licensee, LLC, Licensee, licensee of KHGITV, channel 13,
SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00043
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
12161
Kearney, Nebraska KHGI or Station, requesting the substitution of channel 18 for channel 13 at Kearney in the DTV
Table of Allotments. Licensee states that the proposed channel substitution for KHGI from VHF channel 13 to UHF
channel 18 would allow KHGI to significantly improve its over-the-air service to the Stations viewers in the Kearney, Nebraska, area. Licensee states that the proposed channel change from channel 13 to channel 18 would result a substantial increase in signal receivability for KHGIs core viewers and enable viewers to receive the Stations signal with a significantly smaller antenna. Licensee maintains that KHGI, as a VHF channel station, has had a long history of dealing with severe reception problems exacerbated by the analog to digital conversion. The proposed migration of KHGI from channel 13 to channel 18, Licensee contends, will be a favorable arrangement of allotments based on the enhanced signal levels that will be delivered to a large percentage of the Stations population without any predicted loss of coverage. Further, Licensee maintains that the change will result in an predicted increase of more than 37,000 persons in the Stations overall population and the staff has determined there is no loss of service.
Licensee concludes by saying that the public interest would be best served by promptly granting its Petition with the specifications set forth therein so that Kearney-area viewers may benefit from substantially improved over-the-air broadcast television service as soon as possible.
DATES: Comments must be filed on or before April 1, 2021 and reply comments on or before April 16, 2021.
