    This document does not contain proposed information collection 

requirements subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 

104-13. 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 107-198, see 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(4). Provisions 

of the Regulatory Flexibility Act of l980 do not apply to this 

proceeding.

    Members of the public should note that from the time a Notice of 

Proposed Rule Making is issued until the matter is no longer subject to 

Commission consideration or court review, all ex parte contacts are 

prohibited in Commission proceedings, such as this one, which involve 

channel allotments.

See 47 CFR 1.1204(b) for rules governing permissible ex parte contacts.
