 STATEMENT  OF  COMMISSIONER  DEBORAH  TAYLOR  TATE 
 Re:  Revision  of  Procedures  Governing  Amendments  to  FM  Table  of  Allotments  and  Changes  of  Community  of  License  in  the  Radio  Broadcast  Services  (MB  Docket  No.  05-  210) 
 One  of  our  most  important  jobs  is  to  continually  review  our  rules  and  procedures,  with  an  eye  toward  reducing  regulatory  burdens  whenever  possible.  Today  we  do  just  that.  The  revisions  to  our  allocations 
 procedures  that  we  adopt  in  this  item  –  most  notably  allowing  AM  and  FM  stations  to  propose  community  of  license  changes  in  a  minor  modification  application  and  permitting  the  electronic  filing  of  allocations 
 proposals  –  promise  to  ease  administrative  burdens  on  Commission  staff,  substantially  reduce  regulatory  delays  experienced  by  licensees,  and,  most  importantly,  benefit  the  public  by  expediting  improved  radio 
 service.  This  truly  is  a  “win-  win-  win”  scenario.
