FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 73

[DA 02-915; MM Docket No. 01-345; RM-10344]


Radio Broadcasting Services; Wickenburg and Salome, AZ

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: In response to a proposal filed on behalf of Circle S 
Broadcasting, Inc. (``Circle S''), licensee of Station KSWG(FM), 
Wickenburg, Arizona, the Audio Division substitutes Channel 242C for 
Channel 242C3 at Wickenburg and modifies the authorization for Station 
KSWG(FM) accordingly. Additionally, this document substitutes Channel 
270A for vacant Channel 241A at Salome, Arizona, to accommodate the 
Wickenburg modification as requested by Circle S. See 67 FR 851, 
January 8, 2002. A counterproposal filed jointly on behalf of Circle S 
and Wickenburg Associates, LLC was withdrawn. Coordinates used for 
Channel 242C at Wickenburg, Arizona, are those of the petitioner's 
specified transmitter site located 24.6 kilometers (15.3 miles) west of 
the community at coordinates 33-54-15 NL and 112-59-02 WL. Coordinates 
used for Channel 270A at Salome are 33-46-54 NL and 113-36-42 WL, 
representing a site restriction 0.1 kilometer (0.04 mile) north of the 
community. As Wickenburg and Salome are each located within 320 
kilometers of the U.S.-Mexico border, concurrence of the Mexican 
government to the specified allotments was requested, but has not been 
received. Therefore, the allotment of Channel 242C at Wickenburg and 
Channel 270A at Salome are conditioned on concurrence of the Mexican 
government in accordance with the 1992 USA-Mexico FM Broadcast 
Agreement. With this

action, this docketed proceeding is terminated.

DATES: Effective June 3, 2002. A filing window for Channel 270A at 
Salome, Arizona, will not be opened at this time. Instead, the issue of 
opening this allotment for auction will be addressed by the Commission 
in a subsequent Order.
