47 CFR Part 73

[DA 03-3335; MB Docket No. 03-64, RM-10672]


Radio Broadcasting Services; Lamont and McFarland, CA

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Audio Division, at the request of Dana J. Puopolo, allots 
Channel 247A to Lamont, California, as the community's first local 
aural transmission service. In order to accommodate the allotment at 
Lamont, the Audio Division substitutes Channel 282A for vacant Channel 
247A at McFarland, California. See 68 FR 15142, March 28, 2003. Channel 
247A can be allotted to Lamont, California, consistent with the minimum 
distance separation requirement of the Commission's Rules, provided 
there is a site restriction of 6.5 kilometers (4.1 miles) southeast of 
the community. The reference coordinates for Channel 247A at Lamont are 
35-12-23 North Latitude and 118-52-57 West Longitude. Moreover, Channel 
282A can be allotted to McFarland, California by using the same 
reference coordinates as vacant Channel 247A, in conformity with the 
Commission's Rules, provided there is a site restriction of 10.3 
kilometers (6.4 miles) west of the community. The reference coordinates 
for Channel 282A at McFarland are 35-40-16 North Latitude and 119-20-30 
West Longitude. A filing window for Channel 247A at Lamont, California 
and Channel 282A at McFarland, California, 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.

DATES: Effective December 8, 2003.
