The commission set the same comment period for the petition of WPXA-TV Rome, Georgia, to substitute Channel 31 for Channel 51, and for the petition of KPXE-TV Kansas City, Missouri, to substitute Channel 30 for Channel 51, it said in other Federal Register notices (http://1.usa.gov/1uLMmOI) (http://1.usa.gov/ZjEgDk).
