[Federal Register Volume 63, Number 2 (Monday, January 5, 1998)] [Rules and Regulations] [Page 165] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 98-035] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION 47 CFR Part 73 [MM Docket No. 97-22; RM-8953, RM-9075] Radio Broadcasting Services; Waelder and Yorktown, TX AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission. ACTION: Final rule. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: The Commission denies the petition for rule making filed by Waelder Broadcasting Company proposing the allotment of Channel 242A to Waelder, Texas, as the community's first local FM service. See 62 FR 04228, January 29, 1997. In response to a counterproposal filed by Gonzales Communications, the Commission allots Channel 242A to Yorktown, Texas (RM-9075). Channel 242A can be allotted to Yorktown in compliance with the Commission's minimum distance separation requirements with a site restriction of 8.6 kilometers (5.4 miles) northeast in order to avoid short-spacing conflicts with the licensed operation of Station KSJL-FM, Channel 241C1, San Antonio, TX, and with the construction permit for Station KHMC-FM, Channel 240C3, Goliad, Texas. The coordinates for Channel 242A at Yorktown are 29-02-30 NL and 97-26-30 WL. Since Yorktown is located within 320 kilometers (199 miles) of the U.S.-Mexican border, concurrence of the Mexican government has been obtained for this allotment. With this action, this proceeding is terminated. EFFECTIVE DATE: February 2, 1998. A filing window for Channel 242A at Yorktown, TX, will not be opened at this time. Instead, the issue of opening a filing window for this channel will be addressed by the Commission in a subsequent order.
