Radio Broadcasting Services; Bear Creek and Pocono Pines, PA

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Commission, at the request of Keymarket of NEPA, Inc., 
allots Channel 290A at Pocono Pines, Pennsylvania, as the community's 
first local aural transmission service (RM-8891). We also deny the 
proposal filed by Victor A. Michael, Jr., requesting the allotment of 
Channel 290A at Bear Creek, PA (RM-8808). See 61 FR 43033, August 20, 
1996. Channel 290A can be allotted to Pocono Pines in compliance with 
the Commission's minimum distance separation requirements with a site 
restriction of 13.1 kilometers (8.2 miles) northwest to avoid short-
spacings to the licensed and construction permit sites of Station 
WNWK(FM), Channel 290B1, Newark, New Jersey. The coordinates for 
Channel 290A Pocono Pines are North Latitude 41-09-17 and West 
Longitude 75-35-52. Since Pocono Pines is located within 320 kilometers 
(200 miles) of the U.S.-Canadian border, concurrence of the Canadian 
government has been obtained. With this action, this proceeding is 
terminated.

DATES: Effective September 8, 1997. The window period for filing 
applications for Channel 290A at Pocono Pines, Pennsylvania, will open 
on September 8, 1997, and close on October 9, 1997.
