FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 73

[DA 02-1544; MM Docket No. 01-292; RM-10302]


Radio Broadcasting Services; Ballinger, TX

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This document allots Channel 238A to Ballinger, Texas, as that 
community's second local commercial FM transmission service, in 
response to a petition for rule making filed by Jeraldine Anderson. See 
66 FR 53755, October 24, 2001. The allotment of Channel 238A at 
Ballinger, Texas, requires a site restriction 12.8 kilometers (8.0 
miles) southeast of the community, utilizing coordinates 31-38-03 NL 
and 99-53-13 WL. As Ballinger is located within 320 kilometers of the 
U.S.-Mexico border, concurrence of the Mexican government has been 
requested for Channel 238A at that community, but has not been 
received. Therefore, if a construction permit is granted for Channel 
238A at Ballinger, 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 238A at 
Ballinger, 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.
