FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 73

[MM Docket No. 98-232; RM-9420]


Radio Broadcasting Services; New England, ND

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Commission, at the request of High Plains Broadcasting, 
Inc., allots Channel 239C to New England, ND, as the community's first 
local aural service. See 63 FR 71415, December 28, 1998. Channel 239C 
can be allotted to New England in compliance with the Commission's 
minimum distance separation requirements without a site restriction at 
coordinates 46-32-24 NL; 102-51-48. Canadian concurrence in the 
allotment has been obtained since New England is located within 320 
kilometers (200 miles) of the U.S.-Canadian border. With this action, 
this proceeding is terminated.

DATES: Effective August 9, 1999. A filing window for Channel 239C at 
New England 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.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Leslie K. Shapiro, Mass Media Bureau,
