SUMMARY: The Commission requests comments on a petition filed by Karen 
L. Johnson to allot Channel 275A to Narrowsburg, NY, as the community's 
first local aural service. Channel 275A can be allotted to Narrowsburg 
in compliance with the Commission's minimum distance separation 
requirements with a site restriction of 5.9 kilometers (3.7 miles)

spacing to Station WMGK, Channel 275B, Philadelphia, PA. Canadian 
concurrence in the allotment is required because Narrowsburg is located 
within 320 kilometers (200 miles) of the U.S.-Canadian border.

comments on or before April 13, 1999.
