allots Channel 297A at Tylertown, Mississippi, as the community's 
second local FM service. See 62 FR 06929, February 14, 1997. Channel 
297A can be allotted to Tylertown in compliance with the Commission's 
minimum distance separation requirements with a site restriction of 5.3 
kilometers (3.3 miles) southeast in order to avoid short-spacing 
conflicts with the licensed operation of Station WBBU(FM), Channel 
297A, Baker, Louisiana, and Station WKXI(FM), Channel 298C1, Magee, 
Mississippi. The coordinates for Channel 297A at Tylertown are 31-05-27 
NL and 90-05-47 WL. With this action, this proceeding is terminated.

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 2, 1998. A filing window for Channel 297A at 
Tylertown, Mississippi, 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.
