AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: Action in this proceeding allots Channel 271A to Forestville, 
Wisconsin, as that community's first local service in response to a 
petition filed by Lyle Robert Evans d/b/a The Radio Company. See 61 FR 
30585, June 17, 1996. The coordinates for Channel 271A at Forestville 
are 44-45-54 and 87-28-48. There is a site restriction 8.5 kilometers 
(5.3 miles) north of the community. In response to the counterproposal 
filed by WTRW, Incorporated, we shall allot Channel 281A to Algoma, 
Wisconsin, without a site restriction. The coordinates for Channel 281A 
are 44-36-18 and 87-26-12. Since Algoma and Forestville are both 
located within 320 kilometers (200 miles) of the U.S.-Canadian border, 
concurrence of the Canadian government has been obtained for both 
channels. With this action, this proceeding is terminated.

DATES: Effective January 27, 1997. The window period for filing 
applications for Channel 2271A at Forestville, Wisconsin, and Channel 
281A at Algoma, Wisconsin, will open on January 27, 1997, and close on
