SUMMARY: The Commission, at the request of Mountain West Broadcasting, 
allots Channel 290C1 at Thayne, Wyoming, as the community's first local 
aural transmission service (RM-9458). See 64 FR 8784, February 23, 
1999. At the request of counterproponent Mount Rushmore Broadcasting, 
Inc., we also allot Channel 239A at Marbleton, Wyoming, as the 
community's first local aural transmission service (RM-9760). Channel 
290C1 can be reallotted to Thayne in compliance with the Commission's 
minimum distance separation requirements with a site restriction of 
34.1 kilometers (21.2 miles) southwest to avoid a short-spacing to the 
proposed allotment site of Channel 290C at Shoshoni, Wyoming,

The coordinates for Channel 290C1 at Thayne are 42-46-27 North Latitude

allotted to Marbleton, Wyoming, without the imposition of a site 
restriction. The coordinates for Channel 239A at Marbleton are 42-33-27 
North Latitude and 110-05-58 West Longitude.

DATES: Effective January 18, 2000. A filing window for Channel 290C1 at 
Thayne, Wyoming, and for Channel 239A at Marbleton, Wyoming, 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.
