FM assignments for authorized stations and reserved facilities will be reflected solely in Media Bureau’s Licensing Management System (LMS). See Revision of Procedures Governing Amendments To FM Table of Allotments and Changes of Community of License in the Radio Broadcast Services, Report and Order, 21 FCC Rcd 14212, 14221 ¶ 15 (2006)(stating that it is unnecessary for “occupied” allotments (that is, those that are licensed, permitted, or reserved) to be listed in the Table of Allotments … ”we shall amend the Table of Allotments to reflect only vacant allotments that do not correspond to an authorized station or reserved assignment.”) 3. These FM allotment channels have previously undergone notice and comment rule making. This action constitutes an editorial change in the FM Table of Allotments. Therefore, a public notice and comment proceeding is unnecessary. See 5 U.S.C. § 553(b)(B) (stating that agency may forego notice and comment procedures if it provides a brief statement of reasons showing that such procedures are unnecessary). 4. The Commission will not send a copy of this Order pursuant to the Congressional Review Act, see 5 U.S.C. 801(a)(1)(A), because the adopted rules are rules of particular applicability. 5.
