SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a synopsis of the Commission's 
consolidated Report and Order, MM Docket No. 00-208; MM Docket No. 00-
209; MM Docket No. 00-211, adopted March 7, 2001, and released March 
16, 2001. The full text of this Commission decision is available for 
inspection and copying during normal business hours in the FCC's 
Reference Information Center (Room CY-A257) 445 Twelfth Street, SW., 
Washington, DC. The complete text of this decision may also be

    The Commission, at the request of Santa Cruz Broadcasting, allots 
Channel 232A to Huachuca City, Arizona, as the community's first local 
aural transmission service. See 65 FR 67689, November 13, 2000. Channel 
232A is allotted to Huachucha City with a site restriction 10.9 
kilometers (6.8 miles) southwest at coordinates 31-32-30 NL and 110-23-
20 WL. Additionally, as Huachuca City is located within 320 kilometers 
(199 miles) of the U.S.-Mexico border, concurrence to the allotment of 
Channel 232A to that community by the Mexican government has been 
requested, as a specially negotiated, restricted allotment, but has not 
been received. Therefore, if a construction permit is granted prior to 
receipt of formal concurrence in the allotment by the Mexican 
government, the authorization will include the following condition: 
``Operation with the facilities specified herein is subject to 
modification, suspension or termination without right to a hearing, if 
found by the Commission to be necessary in order to conform to the USA-
Mexico FM Broadcast Agreement.''
    The Commission, at the request of Santa Cruz Broadcasting, allots 
Channel 300A to Rio Rico, Arizona, as the community's first local aural 
transmission service. See 65 FR 67689, November 13, 2000. Channel 300A 
is allotted to Rio Rico without a site restriction at coordinates 31-
24-00 NL and 110-57-30 WL. Additionally, as Rio Rico is located within 
320 kilometers (199 miles) of the U.S.-Mexico border, concurrence to 
the allotment of Channel 300A to that community by the Mexican 
government has been requested, as a specially negotiated, restricted 
allotment, but has not been received. Therefore, if a construction 
permit is granted prior to receipt of formal concurrence in the 
allotment by the Mexican government, the authorization will include the 
following condition: ``Operation with the facilities specified herein 
is subject to modification, suspension or termination without right to 
a hearing, if found by the Commission to be necessary in order to 
conform to the USA-Mexico FM Broadcast Agreement.''
    The Commission, at the request of Susannah Lane Hodges, allots 
Channel 248A to Pine Level, Alabama, as the community's first local 
aural transmission service. See 65 FR 67690, November 13, 2000. Channel
