 REPORT  AND  ORDER 
 (Proceeding  Terminated) 


 Adopted:  January  31,  2001  Released:  February  1,  2001 
 By  the  Chief,  Video  Services  Division: 
 1.  At  the  request  of  Duhamel  Broadcasting  Enterprises  ("  Duhamel"),  licensee  of  station 
 KSGW-  TV,  NTSC  channel  12,  Sheridan,  Wyoming,  the  Commission  has  before  it  the  Notice  of 
 Proposed  Rule  Making,  15  FCC  Rcd  19357  (2000),  proposing  the  substitution  of  DTV  channel  13  for 
 st  at  ion  KSGW-  TV's  assigned  DTV  channel  21.  Duhamel  filed  comment  s  reit  erat  ing  its  expression  of 
 interest  to  apply  for  DTV  channel  13,  if  allotted  to  Sheridan.  No  other  comments  were  filed. 


 2.  We  believe  the  public  interest  would  be  served  by  substituting  DTV  channel  13  for  DTV 
 channel  21  since  it  will  enable  st  at  ion  KSGW-  TV  to  maximize  its  coverage  and  provide  service  to  a 
 greater  number  of  people.  DTV  channel  13  can  be  allotted  to  Sheridan,  Wyoming,  as  proposed,  in 
 compliance  with  the  principle  community  coverage  requirements  of  Section  73.625(  a)  at  coordinates 
 (44-  37-  20  N.  and  107-  06-  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  KSGW-  TV  with  the  following  specifications:
