At the request of White Knight Broadcasting of Killeen License Corporation, licensee of Station KAKW(TV), NTSC Channel 62, Killeen, Texas, the Commission has before it the Notice of Proposed Rule Making, 15 FCC Rcd 9528 (2000), proposing the substitution of DTV Channel 13 for Station KAKW(TV)'s assigned DTV Channel 23. White Knight filed comments supporting the channel change. No other comments were received. 2. We believe the public interest would be served by substituting DTV Channel 13 for DTV Channel 23 since it would allow Station KAKW(TV) to provide over 100 percent replication of its NTSC construction permit service area during the DTV transition period. DTV Channel 13 can be allotted to Killeen, Texas, as proposed, in compliance with the principle community coverage requirements of Section 73.625(a) at coordinates (30-43-33 N. and 97-59-24 W.). In addition, we find that this channel is acceptable under the 2 percent criterion for de minimis impact that is applied in evaluating requests for modification of initial DTV allotments under Section 73.623(c)(2) for Station KAKW(TV) with the following specifications: DTV DTV power Antenna DTV Service State & City Channel (kW) HAAT (m) Pop. (thous.) TX Killeen 13 39.4 553 1307 3. Accordingly, pursuant to the authority contained in Sections 4(i), 5(c)(1), 303(g) and (r) and 307(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and Sections 0.61, 0.204(b) and 0.283 of the Commission's Rules, IT IS ORDERED, That effective November 16, 2000, the DTV Table of Allotments, Section 73.622(b) of the Commission's Rules, IS AMENDED, with respect to the community listed below, to read as follows: City Channel No. Killeen, Texas 13 4.
