 REPORT  AND  ORDER 
 (Proceeding  Terminated) 


 Adopted:  November  22,  2000  Released:  November  24,  2000 
 By  the  Chief,  Video  Services  Division: 
 1.  At  the  request  of  Duhamel  Broadcasting  Enterprises  ("  Duhamel"),  licensee  of  station 
 KDUH-  TV,  NTSC  channel  4,  Scottsbluff,  Nebraska,  the  Commission  has  before  it  the  Notice  of 
 Proposed  Rule  Making,  15  FCC  Rcd  14863  (2000),  proposing  the  substitution  of  DTV  channel  7  for 
 station  KDUH-  TV's  assigned  DTV  channel  20.  Duhamel  filed  comments  reiterating  its  expression  of 
 interest  in  substituting  channels  at  Scottsbluff. 


 2.  We  believe  the  public  interest  would  be  served  by  substituting  DTV  channel  7  for  DTV 
 channel  20  since  it  enable  station  KDUH-  TV  to  cover  the  entire  community  of  Scottsbluff  with  the 
 requisite  36  dBu  signal  strength.  DTV  channel  7  can  be  allotted  to  Scottsbluff,  Nebraska,  as  proposed, 
 in  compliance  with  the  principle  community  coverage  requirements  of  Section  73.625(  a)  at  coordinates 
 (42-  10-  21  N.  and  103-  13-  57  W.).  In  addition,  we  find  that  this  channel  is  acceptable  under  the  2 
 percent  criterion  for  de  minimis  impact  that  is  applied  in  evaluating  requests  for  modification  of  initial 
 DTV  allotments  under  Section  73.623(  c)(  2)  for  Station  KDUH-  TV  with  the  following  specifications:
