FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 73

[MM Docket No. 95-137; RM-8532]


Radio Stations; Table of Assignments; West Virginia

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final Rule; petition for reconsideration.

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

SUMMARY: The Chief, Policy and Rules Division, grants the petition for 
reconsideration filed by The West Virginia Schools for the Deaf and the 
Blind. Allocations Branch's Report and Order, 60 FR 33389, June 28, 
1995, denying the substitution of Channel *281A for Channel 201A at 
Romney, West Virginia, its reservation for noncommercial educational 
use, and the modification of the license of Station WJGF accordingly. 
The Commission granted the petition after finding that the substitution 
of Channel *281A for Channel 201A at Romney is justified because there 
are no available/usable channels in the reserved band that would not be 
precluded by potential interference with Station WJAC-TV, Channel 6, 
Johnstown, Pennsylvania. Channel *281A can be allotted to Romney in 
compliance with the Commission's minimum distance separation 
requirements with a site restriction of 2.7 kilometers (1.7 miles) to 
avoid a short-spacing to the licensed site of Station WKCY-FM, Channel 
282B, Harrisonburg, Virginia. The coordinates for Channel *281A at 
Romney are North Latitude 39-22-00 and West Longitude 78-44-50. With 
this action, this proceeding is terminated.
EFFECTIVE DATE: November 25, 1996.
