FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
47 CFR Part 73

[MM Docket No. 95-16]


Radio Broadcasting Services; Leone, American Samoa

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Commission, on its own motion, proposes the deletion of 
vacant and unapplied-for Channel 266C1 from Leone, American Samoa. The 
independent nation of Western Samoa has recently assigned an FM station 
to operate on Channel 266A which conflicts with the American Samoa 
allotment. Should an interest in applying for a Class C1 channel at 
Leone be expressed, the staff has determined that Channel 230C1 can be 
allotted to Leone in compliance with the Commission's minimum distance 
separation requirements without the imposition of a site restriction, 
at coordinates -14-20-38 South Latitude and 170-47-06 West Longitude.

DATES: Comments must be filed on or before April 3, 1995, and reply 
comments on or before April 18, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Federal Communications Commission, Washington, D.C. 20554.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Leslie K. Shapiro, Mass Media Bureau, 
(202) 418-2180.

Notice of Proposed Rule Making, MM Docket No. 95-16, adopted January
