ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
47 CFR Part 73

[MM Docket No. 95-156; RM-8701]


Radio Broadcasting Services; Shelton, WA

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Commission, at the request of Sound Broadcasting, Inc., 
allots Channel 233A at Shelton, Washington, as the community's first 
local FM transmission service. See 60 FR 53892, October 18, 1995. 
Channel 233A can be allotted to Shelton in compliance with the 
Commission's minimum distance separation requirements with a site 
restriction of 6.6 kilometers (4.1 miles) northwest to avoid short-
spacings to the licensed sites of Station KMPS-FM, Channel 231C, 
Seattle, Washington, and Station KUKN(FM), Channel 233A, Kelso, 
Washington. The coordinates for Channel 233A at Shelton are North 
Latitude 47-14-43 and West Longitude 123-10-25. See Supplementary 
Information, infra.

DATES: Effective June 7, 1996. The window period for filing 
applications will open on June 7, 1996 and close on July 8, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sharon P. McDonald, Mass Media Bureau, 
(202) 418-2180.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a synopsis of the Commission's 
Report and Order, MM Docket No. 95-156, adopted April 5, 1996, and 
released April 23, 1996. The full text of this Commission decision is 
available for inspection and copying during normal business hours in 
the FCC Reference Center (Room 239), 1919 M Street, NW., Washington, 
DC. The complete text of this decision may also be purchased from the 
Commission's copy contractors, International Transcription Service, 
Inc., (202) 857-3800, 2100 M Street, NW., Suite 140, Washington, DC 
20037.
    Recognizing that the allotment of Channel 233A would be short-
spaced to the proposed allotment of Channel 233C at Vancouver, British 
Columbia, we have determined that no potential interference would 
result from this allotment. Therefore, since the Shelton is located 
within 320 kilometers (200 miles) of the U.S.-Canadian border, 
concurrence of the Canadian government for the allotment of Channel 
233A has been obtained as a specially-negotiated allotment. With this 
action, this proceeding is terminated.
