FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 73

[DA 05-296; MB Docket No. 05-34; RM-10761]


Radio Broadcasting Services; Mt. Enterprise, TX

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: This document requests comments on a petition for rulemaking 
filed by Charles Crawford requesting the allotment of Channel 231A at 
Mt. Enterprise, Texas. The coordinates for Channel 231A at Mt. 
Enterprise are 31-59-40 and 94-40-29. There is a site restriction 8.5 
kilometers (5.3 miles) north of the community. To accommodate the 
allotment at Mt. Enterprise, petitioner has requested a site change for 
vacant Channel 231C2 at Hodge, Louisiana, from 32-08-20 and 52-59-04 to 
a site 20.5 kilometers southwest of Hodge at coordinates 32-09-00 and 
92-53-00. A minor change application was later filed by Cumulus 
Licensing LLC, licensee of Station KQXY-FM, Channel 231C1, Beaumont, 
Texas, which conflicts with the proposed Mt. Enterprise allotment. See 
BPH-20031119AAE. This application will be treated as a counterproposal 
in this proceeding.

DATES: Comments must be filed on or before March 28, 2005, and reply 
comments on or before April 12, 2005.

channel allotments. See 47 CFR 1.1204(b) for rules governing
