FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 73

[DA 02-1413; MB Docket No. 02-143; RM-10392]


Radio Broadcasting Services; Lebanon, Speedway, IN

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: This document requests comment on a petition for rulemaking 
filed on behalf of Radio One, licensee of Station WYJZ(FM), Lebanon, 
Indiana, proposing to reallot Channel 265A from Lebanon, Indiana, to 
Speedway, Indiana, and modify the license of Station WYJZ(FM) to 
reflect the changes. Specific questions raised concern population 
losses and gains, whether the reallotment will result in a preferential 
arrangement of allotments and the independence of Speedway as a 
community within the Indianapolis Urbanized Area. Channel 265A can be 
allotted at petitioner's requested site 4.9 kilometers (3.0 miles) 
southeast of the community at coordinates NL 39-46-10 and WL 86-13-45.

DATES: Comments must be filed on or before August 5, 2002, and reply 
comments on or before August 20, 2002.

20554. In addition to filing comments with the FCC, interested parties
