    SUMMARY:

    This document amends the Table of FM Allotments, of the Federal Communications Commission's (Commission) rules, by allotting Channel 284A at Huntley, Montana, as the community's first local service. To accommodate the allotment, we modify the license of KYSX, Billings, Montana to specify operation on Channel 286A in lieu of Channel 283C1. A staff engineering analysis reveals that Channel 284A can be allotted to Huntley, Montana, consistent with the minimum distance separation requirements of the Commission's rules with a site restriction of 13.9 km (8.6 miles) north of the community.

    DATES:

    Effective December 2, 2024.
