Re: Application for Review
Amendment of Section 73.622(b)
Table of Allotments
Digital Television Broadcast Stations
(Hagerstown and Silver Spring, Maryland)
Dear Counsel:
This letter is in reference to the above-captioned Application for Review, filed on October 3,
2002, by Entravision Holdings, LLC (Entravision), the licensee of WJAL(TV), Hagerstown, Maryland,
which seeks to reverse the dismissal of its request to change the station's community of license to Silver
Spring, Maryland.' For the reasons stated below, we dismiss the Application for Review as moot.
Entravision's Petition for Rulemaking, as originally filed, proposed the reallotment of WJAL's
then-paired digital Channel 16 to Silver Spring. In the course of the DTV transition, however,
Entravision ultimately selected Channel 39 as its final, post-transition channel. Thereafter, on April 24,
2006, it filed a "Supplement to Application for Review," notifying the Commission of the change and
eliminating any continued interest in the reallotment of Channel 16 to Silver Spring. In doing so,
Entravision rendered its Petition for Rulemaking and subsequent legal challenges moot. Moreover, our
rules and procedures do not contemplate the submission of a new channel reallotment proposal in a
supplemental pleading to a pending application for review.
' Commission staff dismissed Entravision's Petition for Rulemaking, concluding that, due to a substantial short
spacing to the land mobile allocation on channel 17, grant of the proposal would cause significant disruption to
existing public safety and emergency operations in the Washington, DC metropolitan area. See Letter from Barbara
A. Kreisman, Chief, Video Division, to Entravision Holdings, LLC, dated July 25, 2003 (Ref. No. 1800E3-BEL).
The Media Bureau subsequently denied Entravision's Petition for Reconsideration. See Hagerstown and Silver
Spring, Maryland, Memorandum Opinion and Order, 19 FCC Red 3006 (MB 2004).2795
