FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 73

[DA 02-1543; MM Docket No. 01-243; RM-10263]


Radio Broadcasting Services; Freer, TX

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This document allots Channel 288A to Freer, Texas, as that 
community's second local FM transmission service, in response to a 
petition for rule making filed by Jeraldine Anderson. See 66 FR 49330, 
September 27, 2001. The allotment of Channel 288A at Freer, Texas, 
requires a site restriction 6.8 kilometers (4.2 miles) south of the 
community, utilizing coordinates 27-49-20 NL and 98-38-04 WL. As Freer 
is located within 320 kilometers of the U.S.-Mexico border, concurrence 
of the Mexican government has been requested for Channel 288A at that 
community, but has not been received. Therefore, if a construction 
permit is granted for Channel 288A at Freer, 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 288A at 
Freer, 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.
    Questions related to the application filing process for Channel 
288A at Freer, Texas, should be addressed to the Audio Division, (202)
