At the request of Two Ocean Broadcasting Company (“ Two Ocean”), licensee of station KJWY- TV, Jackson, Wyoming, the Commission has before it the Notice of Proposed Rule Making, 17 FCC Rcd 2469 (2002), proposing the substitution of DTV channel 4 for DTV channel 14. Two Ocean filed comments. No other comments were received. 2. In its petition, Two Ocean claimed that there is inadequate antenna space at its current site for the KJWY’s allocated VHF facility. Two Ocean stated that adoption of its proposal would enable it to change the equipment to conform to the limited space available at its transmitter site. 3. We believe the public interest would be served by substituting DTV channel 4 for DTV channel 14 since it will permit KJWY to operate at its current antenna location. DTV channel 4 can be allotted to Jackson, Wyoming, as proposed, in compliance with the principle community coverage requirement of Section 73.625( a) at coordinates 43- 20- 42 N. and 110- 45- 10 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 KJWY- DT with the following specifications: DTV DTV power Antenna DTV Service State & City Channel (kW) HAAT (m) Pop. (thous.) WY Jackson 4 1 300 21 4.
