 I  am  concerned  that  the  Bureau  failed  to  analyze  adequately  the  public  interest  effect  of  a  request  to  reduce  power  to  avoid  a  violation  of  our  media  ownership  rules,  thereby  reducing  service  to  the  public. 
 The  Commission  has  previously  recognized  that  a  reduction  of  service  simply  designed  to  circumvent  our  media  ownership  rules  may  not  serve  the  public  interest.  I  nevertheless  approve  the  Bureau’s  attribution 
 decision.
