          Pursuant to section 801(a)(2)(A) of title 5, United States Code, this is our report on a
          major rule promulgated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), entitled
          Broadcast Services; Television Stations (FCC 04-220, MB Docket No. 03-185). We
          received the rule on October 8, 2004. It was published in the Federal Register as a
          final rule on November 29, 2004. 69 Fed. Reg. 69325.

          The final rule adopts rules for digital low-power television and television translator
          stations and resolves issues related to digital television booster stations. This rule
          marks the beginning of the digital television conversion for these services.

          Enclosed is our assessment of the FCC's compliance with the procedural steps
          required by section 801(a)(1)(B)(i) through (iv) of title 5 with respect to the rule.
          Our review indicates that FCC complied with the applicable requirements.
