SUMMARY: The Audio Division, at the request of Moira L. Ritch, allots 
Channel 270C3 to Port St. Joe, FL, as the community's second local FM 
transmission service. See 68 FR 7964, February 19, 2003. Channel 270C3 
can be allotted to Port St. Joe in compliance with the Commission's 
minimum distance separation requirements with a site restriction 2.2 
kilometers(1.4 miles) south to avoid short-spacing to the application 
site of Station WWAV, Channel 271C2, Santa Rosa, Florida and the 
license site of Station WBGE, Channel 270A, Bainbridge, Georgia. The 
reference coordinates for Channel 270C3 at Port St. Joe are 29-47-45 
North Latitude and 85-17-27 West Longitude. In response to a 
counterproposal filed by Richard L. Plessinger, Sr., the Audio Division 
allots Channel 283A to Eastpoint, FL, as that community's first local 
aural transmission service. Channel 283A can be allotted to Eastpoint 
in compliance with the Commission's minimum distance separation 
requirements at city reference coordinates. The reference coordinates 
for Channel 283A at Eastpoint are 29-44-11 North Latitude and 84-52-42 
West Longitude. Filing windows for Channel 270C3 at Port St. Joe, FL 
and Channel 283A at Eastpoint, FL, will not be opened at this time. 
Instead, the issue of opening a filing window for these channels will 
be addressed by the Commission in a subsequent order.
