Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 222 / Monday, November 22, 2021 / Rules and Regulations
revisions to the Table without notice and comment. See 5 U.S.C. 553b3B
providing that notice and comment are not required when the agency for good cause finds . . . that notice and public procedure thereon are impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest. These revisions merely correct outdated information from the 2018 Table as a result of channel reassignments and/or community of license changes that have already been approved by the Commission.
Deletion of Obsolete Rules. The Order also adopts non-substantive, technical revisions to certain rules in 47 CFR
parts 1, 73, and 74 that are now outdated given the reallocation of television channels 38 through 51 for wireless broadband uses, the previous reallocation of channels 52 through 69
for wireless use at the end of the DTV
transition in June 2009, and the conversion from analog to digital television technology.
Rulemaking Proceedings. The Order amends 47 CFR 1.420a, g, h, and i, which specify the procedures for amending the TV Table of Allotments, by deleting cross-references to 73.606b and replacing them with 73.622j, the updated Table of Allotments adopted in the Order.
Television Broadcast Stations. The Order amends 47 CFR 73.622 to delete the obsolete Tables in 73.622b and i, which are superseded by 73.622j, the updated Table of Allotments adopted in the Order. The Order also amends 47 CFR 73.606 by deleting the cross-reference to 73.622i and adding a cross-reference to 73.622j, and designates 47 CFR 73.622j as the successor regulation to 47 CFR
73.606. The Order also amends certain part 73 rules to remove references to channels and frequency bands that are no longer in-core television spectrum given the reallocation of channels 38
through 51 through the incentive auction repack and the previous reallocation of channels 52 through 69
at the end of the DTV transition in June 2009, and/or refer to obsolete rule 73.606b, 73.622b, or 73.622i or reference analog TV stations or operations, or otherwise irrelevant information. Specifically, the Order deletes references to the 2018 Table, the obsolete rules sections, and references to channel numbers that are now out-ofcore for television stations in each of the following: 73.603a; 73.613b;
73.614b5, 73.616a; 73.622a1 and 2, b, e1 and 2, f1, g, i;
73.623 a, and c, and g; 73.681;
73.687a1 and 4, e3 and 4, i;
73.699; 73.1690 a8 and c3 and 4;
73.3572 a1 and 4ii; 73.6006;

73.6010a and c; 73.7000. The Order also deletes irrelevant information from 73.625a. This rule sets forth the community coverage contour signal strength that stations must provide to the entire principal community to be served, and the deleted material sets forth the signal strength of a stations noise limited contour, and thus, has no applicability to 73.625a. Deleting it does not alter the rule and avoids confusion. Finally, the Order deletes 73.3700f, which sets forth the requirements for filing service rule waiver requests immediately following the close of the incentive auction in 2017. Such waiver requests were required to be submitted no later than May 15, 2017 and all such requests have been disposed of in decisions that are now final.
Low Power TV, TV Translator, and TV
Booster Stations. The Order also amends a number of Part 74 rules that apply to low power and television translator stations to remove references to channels and frequency bands that are no longer in-core television spectrum and/or reference analog TV operations which are no longer permitted, specifically, 47 CFR 74.702a2 and 3, b; 74.703 f and g; 74.707; 74.735a, b, and c; 74.786 c and dg;
74.787c; 74.792a; and 74.795c1.
This document does not contain information collection requirements subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 10413. In addition, therefore, it does not contain any proposed information collection burden for small business concerns with fewer than 25 employees, pursuant to the Small Business Paperwork Relief Act of 2002, Public Law 107198, see 44 U.S.C.
3506c4. Provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 601
612, do not apply to this proceeding.
The Commission has determined, and the Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, concurs that this rule is non-major under the Congressional Review Act, 5
U.S.C. 8042. The Commission will also send a copy of this Order to Congress and the Government Accountability office, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 801a1A.

PART 1PRACTICE AND
PROCEDURE
1. The authority citation for part 1

g The Commission may modify the license or permit of a UHF TV station to a VHF channel in the same community in the course of the rule making proceeding to amend 73.622j, or it may modify the license or permit of an FM station to another class of channel through notice and comment procedures, if any of the following conditions are met:

h Where licensees or permittees of television broadcast stations jointly petition to amend 73.622j and to exchange channels, and where one of the licensees or permittees operates on a commercial channel while the other operates on a reserved noncommercial educational channel within the same band, and the stations serve substantially the same market, then the Commission may amend 73.606b or 73.622j and modify the licenses or permits of the petitioners to specify operation on the appropriate channels upon a finding that such action will promote the public interest, convenience, and necessity.
i In the course of the rule making proceeding to amend 73.202b or 73.622j, the Commission may modify the license or permit of an FM or television broadcast station to specify a
