FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 73

[MM Docket No. 97-245; RM-9202]


Radio Broadcasting Services; St. Marys, WV

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Commission, at the request of Seven Ranges Radio Company, 
Inc., allots Channel 287A at St. Marys, West Virginia, as the 
community's second local FM transmission service. See 63 FR 193, 
January 5, 1998. Channel 287A can be allotted to St. Marys in 
compliance with the Commission's minimum distance separation 
requirements with a site restriction of 10.8 kilometers (6.7 miles) 
southeast to avoid a short-spacing to the licensed site of Station 
WZNW(FM), Channel 288B1, Bethlehem, West Virginia. The coordinates for 
Channel 287A at St. Marys are 39-18-03 North Latitude and 81-15-19 West 
Longitude. Since St. Marys is located within 320 kilometers (200 miles) 
of the U.S.-Canadian border, concurrence by the Canadian government has 
been obtained. With this action, this proceeding is terminated.

DATES: Effective: March 15, 1999. The window period for filing 
applications for Channel 287A at St. Marys, West Virginia, 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.
