AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: This document requests comments on a petition for rulemaking 
filed by Linda Crawford, proposing the allotment of Channel 297A at 
Llano, Texas, as its fourth FM commercial broadcast transmission 
service. To accommodate the allotment at Llano, Petitioner has 
requested a site change for vacant Channel 297A at Junction, Texas. 
Channel 297A can be allotted to Llano consistent with the minimum 
distance separation requirements of the Commission's Rules with a site 
restriction 6.1 kilometers (3.8 miles) west of the community at 
coordinates 30-46-00 NL and 98-44-15 WL. The proposed new site for 
Channel 297A at Junction, 30-24-15 NL and 99-51-45 WL, is in compliance 
with the Commission's spacing requirements. This site is 12.8 
kilometers (8.0 miles) southwest of the community, whereas the original 
site for Channel 297A at Junction was 3.5 kilometers (2.2 miles) south 
of the community. The existing coordinates for the vacant Channel 297A 
at Junction are 30-27-27 NL and 99-46-07 WL. We seek comment on the 
proposed site change for vacant Channel 297A at Junction from 
interested parties.
