FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 73

[DA 03-17, MM Docket No. 01-19: RM-10048, RM-10027; MM Docket No. 01-
27, RM-10056, RM-10118]


Radio Broadcasting Services; Clayton, Ruston, Saint Joseph, and 
Wisner, LA

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This document consolidates two rulemaking proceedings and 
allots Channel 257C3 to Saint Joseph, Louisiana, and Channel 300C3 to 
Wisner, Louisiana, as first local services. To accommodate the Saint 
Joseph allotment, the document also substitutes Channel 2666A for 
vacant Channel 257A at Clayton, Louisiana. See 66 FR 10267, February 
14, 2001, and 66 FR 10659, February 16, 2001. This document also 
dismisses a counterproposal to upgrade Station KNBB(FM), Ruston, 
Louisiana, from Channel 257C3 to Channel 257C2, because it was not 
technically correct upon the date when it was filed. Rather, it was 
contingent on the dismissal of a counterproposal in an earlier 
rulemaking. The coordinates for Channel 257C3 at Saint Joseph are 32-
51-44 and 91-11-41. The coordinates for Channel 266A at Clayton are 31-
44-48 and 91-31-16. The coordinates for Channel 300C3 at Wisner are 32-
05-28 and 91-28-57.

DATES: Effective February 24, 2003.
