 REPORT  AND  ORDER  (Proceeding  Terminated) 


 Adopted:  December  2,  2003  Released:  December  5,  2003 
 By  the  Chief,  Video  Division: 
 1.  At  the  request  of  Capital  Community  Broadcasting,  Inc.  (“  CCB”),  licensee  of  noncommercial  educational  station  KTOO-  TV,  Juneau,  Alaska,  the  Commission  has  before  it  the 
 Notice  of  Proposed  Rule  Making,  18  FCC  Rcd  7001  (2003),  proposing  the  substitution  of  DTV  channel  *10  for  DTV  channel  *6  at  Juneau.  CCB  file  comments  stating  that  adoption  of  its  proposal 
 would  permit  area  viewers  to  use  more  efficient  and  more  compact  high-  band  VHF  antennas.  No  other  parties  filed  comments. 


 2.  We  believe  the  public  interest  would  be  served  by  substituting  DTV  channel  *10  for  DTV  channel  *6  since  it  will  permit  station  KTOO-  DT  to  operate  in  the  higher  portion  of  the  VHF  band 
 and  avoid  any  potential  future  associated  problems  with  Channel  6  and  FM  radiation  interference.  DTV  channel  *10  can  be  allotted  to  Juneau,  Alaska,  as  proposed,  in  compliance  with  the  principle 
 community  coverage  requirement  of  Section  73.625(  a)  at  coordinates  58-  18-  04  N.  and  134-  25-  21  W.  However,  since  the  community  of  Juneau  is  located  within  400  kilometers  of  the  U.  S.-  Canadian 
 border,  concurrence  from  the  Canadian  government  was  obtained  for  this  allotment.  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  WTOO-  DT  with  the  following  specifications: 


 DTV  DTV  power  Antenna  DTV  Service  State  &  City  Channel  (kW)  HAAT  (m)  Pop.  (thous.) 
 AK  Juneau  *10  0.748  -320.3  26 
 3.  Accordingly,  pursuant  to  the  authority  contained  in  Sections  4(  i),  5(  c)(  1),  303(  g)  and  (r)  and  307(  b)  of  the  Communications  Act  of  1934,  as  amended,  and  Sections  0.61,  0.204(  b)  and  0.283 
 of  the  Commission's  Rules,  IT  IS  ORDERED,  That  effective  January  20,  2004,  the  DTV  Table  of  Allotments,  Section  73.622(  b)  of  the  Commission's  Rules,  IS  AMENDED,  with  respect  to  the 
 community  listed  below,  to  read  as  follows:

 for  a  construction  permit  (FCC  Form  340)  specifying  DTV  Channel  *10  in  lieu  of  DTV  Channel  *6  for  station  KTOO-  DT.
