[MM Docket No. 95-44, RM-8602]

SUMMARY: The Commission requests comments on a petition filed by

288C3, Darlington, South Carolina, requesting the deletion of vacant 
and unapplied-for Channel 287A at Fair Bluff, NC. In the alternative, 
petitioner requests that Channel 287A at Fair Bluff be site restricted 
12.7 kilometers (7.9 miles) northeast, at coordinates 34-21-22 North

comments on or before June 20, 1995.
