ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This document allots Channel 280A to Lanesboro, Minnesota, and 
Westby, Wisconsin, as a first local service in each community. The 
allotments are being made in response to a counterproposal filed by 
Bluff Country Community Radio. Sparta-Tomah Broadcasting Company, Inc. 
proposed the allotment of Channel 280A at Coon Valley, Wisconsin. See 
62 FR 42225, August 6, 1997. The coordinates for Channel 280A at 
Lanesboro, Minnesota, are 43-44-00 and 92-07-00. There is a site 
restriction 11.8 kilometers (7.3 miles) west. The coordinates for 
Channel 280A at Westby, Wisconsin, are 43-37-30 and 90-41-50. There is 
a site restriction 13.2 kilometers (8.2 miles) east of the community. 
The petition filed by Sparta-Tomah Broadcasting Company, Inc., for Coon 
Valley has been dismissed. With this action, this proceeding is 
terminated. A filing window for Channel 280A at Lanesboro and Westby 
will not be opened at this time. Instead, the issue of opening a filing 
window for these channels will be addressed by the Commission in a 
subsequent order.
