AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Commission requests comments on a petition filed by Don 
Davis, licensee of Station KQEO, Grants, NM, requesting the reallotment 
of Channel 264A from Grants to Milan, NM, as the community's second 
local and first fulltime aural service, and the modification of Station 
KQEO's license to specify Milan as its community of license. Channel 
264A can be allotted to Milan in compliance with the Commission's 
minimum distance separation requirements with a site restriction of 5.7 
kilometers (3.6 miles) south, at coordinates 35-07-09 North Latitude; 
107-54-08 West Longitude, which is Station KQEO's presently licensed 
transmitter site. The Commission also proposes to editorially amend the

changes for Stations KAIU and KQEO, respectively.
