FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 73

[MM Docket No. 95-127; RM-8676; RM-8726]


Radio Broadcasting Services; Comobabi, Florence, Oracle, and San 
Carlos, AZ

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This document reallots Channel 276C2 from San Carlos to 
Florence, Arizona, as a Class C1 channel, and modifies the 
authorization of Desert West Air Ranchers Corporation for Station 
KCDX(FM) to specify operation on Channel 276C1 at Florence, pursuant to 
the provisions of Section 1.420 (g) and (i) of the Commission's Rules, 
in response to a counterproposal filed by Desert West Air Ranchers 
(``Desert West'') (RM-8726). See 60 FR 40146, August 7, 1995. The 
allotment of Channel 276C1 to Florence will provide that community with 
its first local aural transmission service, and enable Station KCDX(FM) 
to expand its coverage area. Channel 292A is substituted for Channel 
279A at

Oracle, Arizona, to accommodate the Florence allotment and 
modification, and the license of Desert West for Station KLQB(FM), 
Oracle, is modified accordingly. Additionally, Channel *275A is 
substituted for vacant Channel *276A at Comobabi, Arizona, as requested 
by Desert West. Although a proposal to allot a second Class A channel 
to Oro Valley, Arizona, initiated this proceeding in response to a 
petition filed by Rita Bonilla (RM-8676), it will be addressed in the 
context of a Second Report and Order, pending concurrence of the 
Mexican government thereto. Coordinates used for Channel 276C1 at 
Florence, Arizona, are 33-03-30 and 110-47-00; coordinates used for 
Channel 292A at Oracle, Arizona, are 32-37-07 and 110-47-20; 
coordinates used for Channel *275A at Comobabi, Arizona, are 32-07-30 
and 111-53-00. As Florence, Oracle and Comobabi are located within 320 
kilometers (199 miles) of the Mexican border, the Commission obtained 
concurrence of the Mexican government to the allotment proposals at 
each of those communities. With this action, the proceeding is 
terminated with regard to RM-8726.

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 10, 1997.
