FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 73

[DA 02-1546; MM Docket No. 01-147; RM-10162]


Radio Broadcasting Services; George West, TX

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This document allots Channel 292A to George West, Texas, as 
that community's third local aural transmission service, in response to 
a petition for rule making filed by Katherine Pyeatt. See 66 FR 37633, 
July 19, 2001. The allotment of Channel 292A at George West, Texas, 
requires a site restriction 12.7 kilometers (7.9 miles) west of the 
community, utilizing coordinates 28-20-33 NL and 98-14-45 WL. As George 
West is located within 320 kilometers of the U.S.-Mexico border, 
concurrence of the Mexican government has been requested for Channel 
292A at that community, but has not been received. Therefore, if a 
construction permit is granted for Channel 292A at George West, Texas, 
prior to receipt of final notification by the Mexican 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 1992 USA-Mexico 
FM Broadcast Agreement, or if specifically objected to by Mexico.'' 
With this action, this docketed proceeding is terminated.

DATES: Effective August 19, 2002. A filing window for Channel 292A at 
George West, Texas, 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, Media Bureau, (202) 418-
2180.
