47 CFR Part 73

[DA 03-1935; MM Docket No. 02-56; RM-10391, RM-10581*]


Radio Broadcasting Services; DeRidder, DeQuincy, and Merryville, 
LA, and Newton, TX

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: In response to a Notice of Proposed Rule Making, 67 FR 16350 
(April 5, 2002) this document reallots Channel 221C3 from DeRidder, 
Louisiana, to DeQuincy, Louisiana and provides DeQuincy with its first 
local aural transmission service. The coordinates for Channel 221C3 at 
Dequincy are 30-26-54 North Latitude and 93-26-37 West Longitude. The 
initial rulemaking request to reallot Channel 221C3 from DeRidder to 
Merryville, Louisiana, was superseded by a counterproposal to reallot 
Channel 221C3 from De Ridder to DeQuincy, Louisiana. A portion of that 
counterproposal, which proposed the allotment of Channel 224A to 
Newton, Texas, was rejected for failure to provide city-grade coverage 
of the entire town of Newton.

DATES: Effective August 4, 2003.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: R. Barthen Gorman, Media Bureau, (202)
