FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 73

[DA 00-2105; MM Docket No. 00-56; RM-9839; RM-9905; RM-9906]


Radio Broadcasting Services; Eastman, Vienna, Ellaville and 
Byromville, GA

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Commission dismisses the request of Clyde and Connie Lee 
Scott, d/b/a EME Communications, to allot Channel 221A to Eastman, 
Georgia, as the community's second local FM and third local aural 
service, since neither it nor any other party filed comments expressing 
an intention to apply for the channel, if allotted. See 65 FR 25697, 
May 3, 2000. At the request of Morgan Dowdy, Channel 221A is allotted 
to Vienna, GA, as the community's first local FM service. At the 
request of Radio Center Corp., Channel 290A is allotted to Ellaville, 
GA, as its first local aural service. Channel 221A can be allotted to 
Vienna in compliance with the Commission's minimum distance separation 
requirements with a site restriction of 1.7 kilometers (1.1 miles) 
northeast, at coordinates 32-06-55 NL; 83-47-57 WL, to avoid a short-
spacing to Station WDDQ, Channel 221A, Adel, Georgia. Channel 290A can 
be allotted to Ellaville with a site restriction of 9.5 kilometers (5.9 
miles) southeast, at coordinates 32-11-15 NL; 84-13-15 WL, to avoid a 
short-spacing to Station WSTH-FM, Channel 291C1, Alexander, AL. The 
counterproposal filed by Murphy Broadcasting to allot Channel 221A to 
Byromville, GA, as its first local aural service, is dismissed since it 
failed to serve the petitioner with a copy of its counterproposal as 
required by Section 1.420(a) of the Commission's Rules. A filing window 
for Channel 221A at Vienna and Channel 290A at Ellaville 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.

DATES: Effective October 30, 2000.
