[[Page 11379]]

Washington, as the community's first local aural transmission service. 
See 62 FR 38054, July 16, 1997. Channel 248A can be allotted to 
Winthrop in compliance with the Commission's minimum distance 
separation requirements with a site restriction of 2.0 kilometers (1.2 
miles) south. The coordinates for Channel 248A at Winthrop are North 
Latitude 48-27-40 and West Longitude 120-10-36. Since Winthrop 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: April 13, 1998. A filing window for Channel 248A at 
Winthrop, 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.
