FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 73

[DA 03-3230; MB Docket No. 03-174, RM-10754]


Radio Broadcasting Services; Ehrenberg, AZ

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Audio Division, at the request of Daniel R. Feely, allots 
Channel 286C2 to Ehrenberg, Arizona, as the community's first local 
aural transmission service. See 68 FR 47285, August 8, 2003. Channel 
286C2 can be allotted to Ehrenberg, consistent with the minimum 
distance separation requirements of the Commission's Rules, provided 
there is a site restriction 28.8 kilometers (17.9 miles) northeast to 
avoid short-spacing to the license sites of Station KBUX, Channel 232A, 
Quartzsite, Arizona and Mexican Station XHMC-FM, Channel 285B, 
Mexicali, BN. The reference coordinates for Channel 286C2 at Ehrenberg 
are 33-48-00 North Latitude and 114-19-12 West Longitude. Although 
concurrence has been requested for Channel 286C2 at Ehrenberg, 
notification has not been received. If a construction permit is granted 
prior to the receipt of formal concurrence in the allotment by the 
Mexican government, the construction permit will include the following 
condition: ``Use of this allotment is subject to suspension, 
modification, or termination without right to 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's 
Secretaria de Comunicaciones Y Transportes.'' A filing window for 
Channel 286C2 at Ehrenberg, Arizona, 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 December 8, 2003.

ADDRESSES: Federal Communications Commission, 445 Twelfth Street, SW., 
Washington, DC 20554.
