Radio Broadcasting Services; Odessa and Los Ybanez, TX

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. 
In addition to filing comments with the FCC, interested parties should 
serve the petitioner, or its counsel or consultant, as follows: John 
Wells King, Esq., Haley, Bader & Potts, 4340 North Fairfax Drive, Suite 
900, Arlington, Virginia 22203-1633 (Counsel for petitioner).

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, 
Washington, D.C. The complete text of this decision may also be 
purchased from the Commission's copy contractor, ITS, Inc., (202) 857-
3800, 2100 M Street, NW, Suite 140, Washington, D.C. 20037.
    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.
    For information regarding proper filing procedures for comments, 
see 47 CFR 1.415 and 1.420.
