FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 73

[DA 01-2626; MM Docket No. 01-170; RM-10190]


Radio Broadcasting Services; Pittsburg, NH

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This document allots Channel 246A to Pittsburg, New Hampshire, 
as that community's first local aural transmission service, in response 
to a petition for rule making filed on behalf of Pittsburg Broadcasting 
Company. See 66 FR 41490, August 8, 2001. Coordinates used for Channel 
246A at Pittsburg, New Hampshire, are 45-02-25 NL and 71-21-17 WL. As 
Pittsburg is located within 320 kilometers of the U.S.-Canada border, 
concurrence of the Canadian government has been requested for Channel 
246A at Pittsburg, but has not been received. Therefore, if a 
construction permit is granted for Channel 246A at Pittsburg, New 
Hampshire, prior to receipt of final notification by the Canadian 
government, the construction permit 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 
Canada-USA FM Broadcast Agreement, or if specifically objected to by 
Industry Canada.'' With this action, this docketed proceeding is 
terminated.

DATES: Effective December 24, 2001. A filing window for Channel 246A at 
Pittsburg, New Hampshire, will not be opened at this time. Instead, the 
issue of opening the allotment for auction will be addressed by the 
Commission in a subsequent Order.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Nancy Joyner, Mass Media Bureau, (202) 
418-2180. Questions related to the application filing process for 
Channel 246A at Pittsburg, New Hampshire, should be addressed to the 
Audio Services Division, (202) 418-2700.
