FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 73

[DA 99-1837; MM Docket No. 99-170; RM-9545]


Radio Broadcasting Services; Oceanside and Encinitas, CA

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This document reallots Channel 271B from Oceanside to 
Encinitas, California, as that community's first local aural 
transmission service and modifies the license for Station KXST(FM), a 
pre-1964 grandfathered facility, as requested, pursuant to the 
provisions of section 1.420(i) of the Commission's Rules. See 64 FR 
28427, May 26, 1999. Coordinates used for Channel 271B at Encinitas are 
the currently authorized site for Station KXST(FM) at 33-06-40 NL and 
117-12-05 WL. At that site, Station KXST(FM) will remain short spaced 
to pre-1964 grandfathered Station KSCA(FM), Channel 270B, Glendale, 
California, but will not result in an increase in interference 
potential to other stations as no technical changes for Station 
KXST(FM) are involved. A previously referenced short spacing to pre-
1964 grandfathered Station KGB-FM, Channel 268B, San Diego, California, 
is not a consideration as the Commission has eliminated the distance 
separation requirements and interference protection requirements with 
respect to second and third adjacent channel grandfathered stations 
that have existed continuously since November 16, 1964. See 
Grandfathered Short-Spaced FM Stations, 62 FR 187, September 26, 1977. 
As Encinitas is located within 320 kilometers (199 miles) of the U.S.-
Mexico border, the Mexican government will be notified of the technical 
changes to the FM Table of Allotments to reflect the reallotment of 
Channel 271B from Oceanside to Encinitas. With this action, the 
proceeding is terminated.

DATES: Effective October 25, 1999.
