[MM Docket No. 97-7; RM-8947]


Radio Broadcasting Services; Chehalis, WA and Tillamook, OR

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Commission, at the request of C. C. Broadcasting Company, 
allots Channel 282A at Chehalis, Washington, as the community's first 
local commercial FM transmission service (RM-8947). See 62 FR 3653, 
January 24, 1997. We also deny the one-step upgrade application (BPH-
970224IC) filed by Oregon Eagle, Inc., requesting the substitution of 
Channel 282C1 for Channel 281C3 at Tillamook, Oregon, and the 
modification of Station KTIL-FM's license accordingly. Channel 282A can 
be allotted at Chehalis in compliance with the Commission's minimum 
distance separation requirements with a site restriction of 1.4 
kilometers (0.9 miles) south to avoid a short-spacing to the licensed 
site of Station KAFE(FM), Channel 282C, Bellingham, Washington. The 
coordinates for Channel 282A at Chehalis are North Latitude 46-38-57 
and West Longitude 122-57-58. Since Chehalis 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: November 30, 1998. A filing window for Channel 282A at 
Chehalis, 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.
