AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: The Commission, at the request of Stacey Allen Austin, allots 
Channel 278C3 to Wellington, Texas, as the community's first local 
aural transmission service. See 62 FR 15869, April 3, 1997. Channel 
278C3 can be allotted to Wellington in compliance with the Commission's 
minimum distance separation requirements with a site restriction of 4.5 
kilometers (2.8 miles) southwest in order to avoid a short-spacing 
conflict with the licensed operation of Station KWOX (FM), Channel 
266C, Woodward, Oklahoma. The coordinates for Channel 278C3 at 
Wellington are 34-49-13 NL and 100-14-29 WL. With this action, this 
proceeding is terminated.

EFFECTIVE DATE: April 13, 1998. A filing window for Channel 278C3 at 
Wellington, Texas, 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.
