FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 73

[MM Docket No. 91-137, RM-7494, FCC 00-409]


FM Broadcasting Services; Saltville, VA and Jefferson, NC.

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: In MM Docket No. 91-137, the Commission denied an application 
for review filed by Smith Communications, licensee of Station WZJS(FM), 
Channel 264A, Banner Elk, North Carolina, of the Memorandum Opinion and 
Order, 61 FR 20,490, published May 7, 1996. The Commission denied 
review because it found no reason to depart from staff's reasoning set 
forth in the Memorandum Opinion and Order. It found that the staff had 
fully considered and rejected each of Smith's contentions that 
irregular terrain would prevent full signal coverage by the proposed 
upgraded Jefferson, North Carolina station. Additionally, since the 
release of the Memorandum Opinion and Order, a construction permit had 
been granted for an actual transmitter site at a location different 
from the theoretical one used previously. The Commission reexamined the 
expanded coverage area from that site and found the coverage to be 
adequate and of similar size to that predicted using the theoretical 
site. With this action, the proceeding is terminated.

Bureau, (202) 418-2180.
