FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
47 CFR Part 73
[DA 99-1947; MM Docket No. 98-207; RM-9408, RM-9497]
Radio Broadcasting Services; Wellsville and Canaseraga, NY
AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Commission, at the request of RP Communications, allots
Channel 228A to Wellsville, NY, as the community's second local FM and
third local aural service. See 63 FR 68425, December 11, 1998. At the
request of RJ Communications, the Commission allots Channel 246A to
Canaseraga, NY, as the community's first local aural service. Channel
228A can be allotted to Wellsville in compliance with the Commission's
minimum distance separation requirements with a site restriction of 2
kilometers (1.2 miles) west, at coordinates 42-07-25 NL; 77-55-29 WL,
to avoid a short-spacing to Station WWSE, Channel 227B, Jamestown, New
York. Channel 246A can be allotted to Canaseraga in compliance with the
Commission's minimum distance separation requirements with a site
restriction of 10.6 kilometers (6.6 miles) south of Canaseraga, at
coordinates 42-21-41 NL; 77-45-09 WL, to avoid a short-spacing to
Station WGRF, Channel 245B, Buffalo, New York. Canadian concurrence in
both allotments have been obtained since each community is located
within 320 kilometers (200 miles) of the U.S.-Canadian border. The
allotment of Channel 246A at Canaseraga has been concurred in as a
specially negotiated short-spaced allotment. With this action, this
proceeding is terminated.
DATES: Effective November 8, 1999. A filing window for Channel 246A at
Canaseraga, NY, and Channel 228A at Wellsville, NY, will not be opened
at this time. Instead, the issue of opening a filing window for these
channels will be addressed by the Commission in a subsequent order.
