ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This document grants allotment proposals in the above-

by Mountain Tower Broadcasting (Ashton, Idaho, RM-9144), as well as a 
counterproposal filed on behalf of Alpine Broadcasting Limited 
Partnership (West Yellowstone, Montana, RM-9313). Channel 243A is 
allotted to Ashton, Idaho, rather than Channel 224A, as proposed in the 
Notice of Proposed Rule Making, to accommodate the modification of 
Station KWWF(FM), to specify operation on Channel 225C at West 
Yellowstone, Montana. See 62 FR 49189, September 19, 1997. Coordinates 
used for Channel 243A at Ashton, Idaho, are 44-04-12 and 111-26-54; 
coordinates used for Channel 225C at West Yellowstone, Montana, are 44-
33-39 and 111-26-24. With this action, the proceeding is terminated.

DATES: Effective October 5, 1998. A filing window for Channel 243A at 
Ashton, Idaho, will not be opened at this time. Instead, the issue of 
opening a filing window for Channel 243A will be addressed by the 
Commission in a subsequent Order.
