AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: The Commission, at the request of Metro Broadcasters-Texas, 
Inc., allots Channel 279C1 to Questa, NM, as the community's first 
local aural service. See 63 FR 34622, June 25, 1998. Channel 279C1 can 
be allotted to Questa in compliance with the Commission's minimum 
distance separation requirements with a site restriction of 5.8 
kilometers (3.6 miles) southeast, at coordinates 36-40-33 North 
Latitude; 105-32-27 West Longitude, to avoid a short-spacing to both 
the allotment reference coordinates and the transmitter site specified 
in the application of Idaho Broadcasting Consortium, Inc. (BPH-
971126MD), for Channel 279C2 at Silverton, CO. With this action, this 
proceeding is terminated.

DATES: Effective December 7, 1998. A filing window for Channel 279C1 at 
Questa, NM, 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.
