SUMMARY: The Commission, at the request of Darren Cordova, allots

See 64 FR 47484, August 31, 1999. Channel 240A can be allotted to Taos 
in compliance with the Commission's minimum distance separation 
requirements with a site restriction of 9.7 kilometers (6.0 miles) 
southeast, at coordinates 36-21-48 NL; 105-28-51 WL, to avoid a short-
