AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule, petition for reconsideration.

SUMMARY: This document grants the Petition for Reconsideration filed by 
Dana J. Puopolo directed to the Report and Order in this proceeding by 
allotting Channel 299C3 at Gunnison, Colorado, as its fourth local 
service. See 69 FR 58840, published October 1, 2004. Channel 299C3 can 
be allotted to Gunnison, consistent with the minimum distance 
separation requirements of the Commission's rules provided there is a 
site restriction of 19.5 kilometers (12.1 miles) northeast at 
coordinates 38-40-48 NL and 106-46-48 WL. This site restriction will 
ensure full-spacing to the license site of Station KBKL on Channel 300C 
at Grand Junction, Colorado. This document also allots Channel 274C3 in 
lieu of Channel 272C2 at Crawford, as its first local service. Channel 
274C3 can be allotted to Crawford in compliance with the minimum 
distance separation requirements of the Commission's rules provided 
there is a site restriction of 19.5 kilometers (12.1 miles) northeast 
at coordinates 38-38-09 NL and 107-34-43 WL. As a result, the Station 
KVLE(FM) Channel 299A substitution at Gunnison and the site relocation 
for vacant Channel 270C2 at Olathe is no longer necessary. See 
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION.

DATES: Effective May 2, 2005.

275C1, Laramie, Wyoming by reallotting Channel 272A from Strasburg to 
Greenwood Village, Colorado, as its first local service, and modifying 
the license of Station KAGM(FM). Channel 272A can be allotted to 
Greenwood Village consistent with the Commission's minimum distance 
separation requirements provided there is a site restriction of 12.5 
kilometers (7.7 miles) east of the community. The reference coordinates 
for Channel 272A at Greenwood Village are 39-37-32 North Latitude and 
104-47-47 West Longitude. To ensure continued operational local service 
at Strasburg, we reallot Channel 268C from Fort Morgan to Strasburg, 
Colorado, as its first local operational service, and modify the 
license of Station KBRU-FM to reflect this change. Fort Morgan will 
continue to receive local service from full-time AM Station KFTM. 
Channel 268C can be allotted to Strasburg consistent with the 
Commission's minimum distance separation requirements provided there is 
a site restriction of 41.9 kilometers (26 miles) east of the community. 
The reference coordinates for Channel 268C at Strasburg are 39-51-39 
North Latitude and 103-51-44 West Longitude. To accommodate the 
Greenwood Village reallotment, we modify the transmitter sites for 
Stations KSMT(FM), Channel 272A, Breckenridge, Colorado and Station 
KTRR(FM), Channel 237C3, Loveland, Colorado. The transmitter site for 
Station KSMT(FM), Channel 272A, Breckenridge, Colorado can be modified 
consistent with the Commission's minimum distance separation 
requirements provided there is a site restriction of 8.4 kilometers 
(5.2 miles) southwest of the community. The modified license 
coordinates for Channel 272A at Breckenridge are 39-25-52 North 
Latitude and 106-06-17 West Longitude. The transmitter site for Station 
KTRR(FM), Channel 273C2, Loveland, Colorado also can be modified 
consistent with the Commission's minimum distance separation 
requirements provided there is a site restriction of 26.1 kilometers 
(16.2 miles) northeast of the community. The modified license 
coordinates for Channel 273C2 at Loveland are 40-34-33 North Latitude 
and 104-52-22 West Longitude. To facilitate Station KSMT(FM) 
relocation, we modify the license site for Station KTUN(FM), Eagle, 
Colorado because the requested Channel 269C1 substitution was granted 
by minor change application. The transmitter site for Station KTUN(FM), 
Channel 269C1, Eagle, Colorado can be modified consistent with the 
Commission's minimum distance separation requirements provided there is 
a site restriction of 12.8 kilometers (7.9 miles) northwest of the 
community. The modified license coordinates for Channel 269C1 at Eagle 
are 39-45-15 North Latitude and 106-54-13 West Longitude. Moreover, 
because the requested Channel 275C1 downgrade at Laramie was also 
granted by minor change application, we modify the licensed site for 
Station KARS-FM, Laramie, Wyoming to accommodate Station KTRR-FM 
relocation. The transmitter site for Station KARS-FM, Channel 275C1, 
Laramie, Wyoming also can be modified consistent with the Commission's 
minimum distance separation requirements provided there is a site 
restriction of 47 kilometers (29.2 miles) south of the community. The
