At the request of Broadcast Development Corporation (" BDC"), licensee of station KAME- TV, NTSC channel 21, Reno, Nevada, the Commission has before it the Notice of Proposed Rule Making, 15 FCC Rcd 22370 (2000), proposing the substitution of DTV channel 20 for station KAME- TV's assigned DTV channel 22. BCD filed comments reaffirming its intention to apply for DTV channel 20. No other comments were received. 2. We believe the public interest would be served by adopting BDC's channel substitution proposal since it would permit station KAME- TV to use a common transmission site and single antenna. DTV channel 20 can be allotted to Reno, Nevada, as proposed, in compliance with the principle community coverage requirements of Section 73.625( a) at coordinates (39- 35- 04 N. and 119- 47- 51 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 KAME- TV with the following specifications: DTV DTV power Antenna DTV Service State & City Channel (kW) HAAT (m) Pop.
