47 CFR Part 73

[DA 04-1199; MM Docket No. 01-271; RM-10278; 10380]


Radio Broadcasting Services; O'Donnell, Post and Roaring Springs, 
TX

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Audio Division, at the request of Maurice Salsa, allots 
Channel 249A at O'Donnell and Roaring Springs, Texas, as each 
community's first local aural transmission service (RM-10380). At the 
request of Katherine Pyeatt, we also dismiss the petition for rule 
making proposing the allotment of Channel 249C2 at Post, Texas (RM-
10278). See 66 FR.52734, October 17, 2001. Channel 249A can be allotted 
to O'Donnell in compliance with the Commission's minimum distance 
separation requirement with a site restriction of 14.6 kilometers (9.1 
miles) east to avoid a short-spacing to the vacant allotment site for 
Channel 248C2, Denver City, Texas, and the licensed site for Station 
KODM(FM), Channel 250C1, Texas. The coordinates for Channel 249A at 
O'Donnell are 32-55-32 North Latitude and 101-40-59 West Longitude. 
Likewise, Channel 249A can be allotted to Roaring Springs with a site 
restriction of 14.8 kilometers (9.2 miles) northeast to avoid a short-
spacing to the proposed allotment for Channel 250C3 at Crowell, Texas. 
The coordinates for Channel 249A at Roaring Springs are 33-57-42 North 
Latitude and 100-42-53 West Longitude.

DATES: Effective June 18, 2004. A filing window for Channel 249A at 
O'Donnell and Roaring Springs, Texas, will not be opened at time. 
Instead, the issue of opening a filing window for these channels will 
be addressed by the Commission in a subsequent order.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sharon P. McDonald, Media Bureau,
