47 CFR Part 73

[MM Docket No. 96-240; RM-8946, RM-9019]


Radio Broadcasting Services; Lockport and Amherst, NY.

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule; petition for reconsideration.

SUMMARY: This document denies a petition for reconsideration of the 
Report and Order, 62 FR 66030 (December 17, 1997), in this proceeding 
that allotted Channel 221A to Amherst, New York, as that community's 
first local FM service. The proposal decision to add the channel to 
Amherst was preferred over adding the same channel to Lockport, New 
York, because the Amherst allotment provides local service to a 
community that has four times the population of Lockport.

EFFECTIVE DATE: October 13, 1999.

(202) 418-2180.
