SUMMARY: The Commission, at the request of WRUS, Inc., substitutes 
Channel 244C2 for Channel 244A at Bowling Green, Kentucky, reallots 
Channel 244C2 from Bowling Green to Auburn, Kentucky, and modifies 
Station WBVR-FM's license accordingly. To accommodate the reallotment, 
we also (a) substitute Channel 255A for vacant Channel 244A at 
Byrdstown, Tennessee; and (b) substitute Channel 297A for Channel 244A 
at Bardstown, Kentucky, reallot Channel 297A from Bardstown to Lebanon 
Junction, Kentucky, and modify Station WOKH(FM)'s license accordingly 
(RM-9910). At the request of WRUS, Inc., we dismiss the petition to 
substitute Channel 244C3 for Channel 244A at Bowling Green, Kentucky 
(RM-9755). See 64 FR 67535, December 2, 1999. Channel 244C2 can be 
reallotted to Auburn in compliance with the Commission's minimum 
distance separation requirements with a site restriction of 30.9 
kilometers (19.2 miles) northeast at petitioner's requested site. The 
coordinates for Channel 244C2 at Auburn are 37-02-29 North Latitude and 
86-26-36 West Longitude. See SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION, infra.

DATES: Effective April 16, 2001.
