Radio Broadcasting Services; Fort Stockton and Sanderson, TX

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Audio Division, at the request of Linda Crawford, allots 
Channel 263C to Fort Stockton, Texas, as the community's second local 
FM aural transmission service. See 68 FR 15141, March 28, 2003. Channel 
263C can be allotted to Fort Stockton, in compliance with the 
Commission's minimum distance separation requirements, provided there 
is a site restriction of 13.8 kilometers (8.6 miles) southeast of the 
community. The reference coordinates for Channel 263C at Fort Stockton 
are 30-50-06 North Latitude and 102-45-06 West Longitude. This document 
also dismissed a Petition for Rule Making filed by Katherine Pyeatt 
proposing the allotment of Channel 261C3 at Sanderson, Texas, as that 
community's first local FM aural transmission service. A filing window 
for Channel 263C at Fort Stockton, Texas, will not be opened at this 
time. Instead, the issue of opening a filing window for this channel 
will be addressed by the Commission in a subsequent order.

DATES: Effective August 4, 2003.
