SUMMARY: This document requests comments on a petition for rule making 
filed on behalf of Amaturo Group of L.A., Ltd., licensee of Stations 
KLIT, Channel 224A, Avalon, California, KELT, Channel 224A, Riverside, 
California, and KMLT, Channel 224A, Thousand Oaks, California. 
Petitioner seeks the following changes: (1) reallot Channel 224A from 
Avalon to Fountain Valley, California, as that community's first local 
aural transmission service and modify the license for Station KLIT to 
specify operation on Channel 224A at the latter community; (2) reallot 
Channel 224A from Riverside to Adelanto, California, as that 
community's first local aural transmission service and modify the 
license of Station KELT accordingly; (3) substitute Channel 224A for 
Channel 224B1 at Ridgecrest and modify the license of Station KZIQ-FM, 
at a revised transmitter site; (4) revise the reference coordinates of 
Station KMLT, Channel 224A, Thousand Oaks, California, to specify 34-
13-05 NL; 118-56-42 NL, to accommodate the proposed reallotment of 
Channel 224A to Fountain Valley. Coordinates used for Channel 224A at 
Fountain Valley, California, are 33-36-56 NL; 117-55-33 WL; coordinates

01 WL; coordinates used for Channel 224A at Ridgecrest, California, are
