Abstract
The Commission has before it a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking issued in response to a petition for rulemaking filed by Montana State University ("MSU") requesting that channel *46 be transferred from the Pre-Transition DTV Table of Allotments, 47 CFR 73.622(b), to the Post-Transition Table of DTV Allotments, 47 CFR 73.622(i). MSU states that the grant of its rulemaking petition and application will serve the public interest by eliminating a substantial noncommercial educational white space area in northwest Montana and will further the Congressional mandate in Section 396(a)(9) of the Communications Act to ensure that all citizens have access to public telecommunications services.
