AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Commission requests comments on a petition filed by Ruben
Velasquez, permittee of Station KADM-FM, Channel 299C2 at Odessa,
Texas, proposing the substitution of Channel 300C1 for Channel 299C2 at
Odessa and modification of Station KADM-FM's construction permit to
specify operation on the higher powered channel. In order to
accommodate the upgrade at Odessa, we also propose to substitute
Channel 253C2 for Channel 300C2 at Los Ybanez, Texas, and to modify the
license of Station KYMI-FM accordingly. See Supplemental Information,
infra.
DATES: Comments must be filed on or before August 31, 1994, and reply
comments on or before September 18, 1994.
ADDRESSES: Federal Communications Commission, Washington, D.C. 20554.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a synopsis of the Commission's
Notice of Proposed Rule Making, MM Docket No. 94-72, adopted June 23,
1994, and released July 8, 1994. The full text of this Commission
decision is available for inspection and copying during normal business
hours in the FCC's Reference Center (Room 239), 1919 M Street, NW,

Channel 300C1 and Channel 253C2 can be allotted to Odessa and Los
Ybanez, Texas, respectively, in compliance with the Commission's
minimum distance separation requirements. Channel 300C1 can be allotted
to Odessa without the imposition of a site restriction. The coordinates
for Channel 300C1 are 31-51-30 and 102-22-30. Channel 253C2 can be
allotted to Los Ybanez at the transmitter site specified in Station
KYMI-FM's license. The coordinates for Channel 253C2 are 32-43-22 and
102-01-50. In accordance with Section 1.420(g) of the Commission's
Rules, we will not accept competing expressions of interest in use of
Channel 300C1 at Odessa or require the petitioner to demonstrate the
availability of an additional equivalent class channel for use by such
parties. Furthermore, since Odessa and Los Ybanez are located within
320 kilometers (199 miles) of the U.S.-Mexican border, concurrence by
the Mexican government has been solicited.
Provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 do not apply
to this proceeding.
Members of the public should note that from the time a Notice of
Proposed Rule Making is issued until the matter is no longer subject to
Commission consideration or court review, all ex parte contacts are
prohibited in Commission proceedings, such as this one, which involve
channel allotments. See 47 CFR 1.1204(b) for rules governing
permissible ex parte contacts.
