FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 73

[DA 00-257; MM Docket No. 99-204; RM-9623]


Radio Broadcasting Services; Grand View, ID

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Proposed rule; denial.

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

SUMMARY: This document denies a petition for rule making filed by 
Mountain West Broadcasting proposing the allotment of FM Channel 228A 
to Grand View, Idaho, as that locality's first local aural transmission 
service. See 64 FR 31175, June 10, 1999. Evidence presented established 
that the proposed reference coordinates at 42-53-47 NL and 116-50-30 WL 
to accommodate Channel 228A are located in a wilderness area managed by 
the Bureau of Land Management (``BLM''). The BLM stated that in the 
absence of environmental studies, the referenced site will not be 
designated as suitable for future use as an electronics site. The 
petitioner did not present any engineering showings to establish the 
availability of an alternate site. With this action, the proceeding is 
terminated.

ADDRESS: Federal Communications Commission, Washington, DC 20554.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Nancy Joyner, Mass Media Bureau, (202)
