FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
47 CFR Part 73

[MM Docket No. 95-120, RM-8650]


Radio Broadcasting Services; Premont, TX

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Commission requests comments on a petition by Paulino 
Bernal, licensee of Station KMFM(M), Channel 285A, Premont, Texas, 
seeking the substitution of Channel 264C3 for Channel 285A at Premont, 
Texas and modification of Station KMFM(FM)'s license to reflect the 
non-adjacent higher class channel. Channel 264C3 can be allotted to 
Premont in compliance with the Commission's minimum distance separation 
requirements with a site restriction of 7.7 kilometers (4.8 miles) east 
in order to avoid a short spacing conflict with the licensed site of 
Station KBDR(FM), Channel 263C2, Mirando City, Texas. The coordinates 
for Channel 264C3 at Premont are 27-21-35 and 98-02-45. Mexican 
concurrence will be requested for this proposal. In addition, in the 
event that competing expressions of interest are received, we may not 
modify petitioner's authorization since there are no additional Class 
C3 channels available for use by any other interested parties.

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

ADDRESSES: Federal Communications Commission, Washington, DC 20554. In 
addition to filing comments with the FCC, interested parties should 
serve the petitioner, or its counsel or consultant, as follows: Barry 
D. Wood, Jones, Waldo, Holbrook & McDonough, 2300 M Street NW.,
