FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 73

[MM Docket No. 98-30; RM-9228]


Radio Broadcasting Services; Shenandoah, VA

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Commission, at the request of Daryl A. Alligood, allots 
Channel 296A to Shenandoah, VA, as the community's first local aural 
transmission service. See 63 FR 13027, March 17, 1998. Channel 296A can 
be allotted to the community in compliance with the Commission's 
minimum distance separation requirements, at coordinates 38-30-00 NL; 
78-36-33 WL, which represents a site restriction of 2.1 kilometers (1.3 
miles) northeast to avoid a short-spacing to Station WCHG(FM), Channel 
296A, Hot Springs, Virginia. Since the reference coordinates for this 
allotment are located within the protected areas of the National Radio 
Astronomy Observatory ``Quiet Zone'' at Green Bank, West Virginia, the 
petitioner and any other applicants will be required to comply with the 
notification requirement of Section 73.1030(a) of the Commission's 
Rules. With this action, this proceeding is terminated.

DATES: Effective July 27, 1998. A filing window for Channel 296A at 
Shenandoah, VA, 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.
