Radio Broadcasting Services; Westport, WA

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: The Commission, at the request of Chehalis Broadcasting 
Company, allots Channel 267A at Westport, Washington, as the 
community's first local aural transmission service. See 62 FR 10011, 
March 5, 1997. Channel 267A can be allotted to Westport in compliance 
with the Commission's minimum distance separation requirements at city 
reference coordinates. The coordinates for Channel 267A at Westport are 
North Latitude 46-53-24 and West Longitude 124-06-06. Since Westport 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.

EFFECTIVE DATE: February 23, 1998. A filing window for Channel 267A at 
Westport, Washington, 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.
