SUMMARY: This document denies a petition for rule making filed by 
Mountain West Broadcasting proposing the allotment of FM Channel 249C3 
to Amelia, Louisiana, as that locality's first local aural transmission 
service. Petitioner failed to establish the availability of a suitable 
location for tower construction as the required site restriction 
located 18.4 kilometers south of the community at coordinates 29-30-21 
NL and 91-03-46 WL to accommodate Channel 249C3 at Amelia is in 
marshland. See 64 FR 31173, June 10, 1999. With this action, this 
proceeding is terminated.
