ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Audio Division seeks comment on a petition filed by CCR-
Brawley IV, LLC, proposing the downgrade from Channel 241B to Channel 
241B1 at Brawley, the reallotment of Channel 241B1 from Brawley to 
Campo, California, and the modification of Station KSIQ(FM)'s license 
accordingly. Channel 241B1 can be reallotted to Campo in compliance 
with the Commission's minimum distance separation with a site 
restriction of 3.9 kilometers (1.4 miles) north at petitioner's 
requested site. The coordinates for Channel 241B1 at Campo are 32-38-30 
North Latitude and 116-28-05 West Longitude. Since Campo is located 
within 320 kilometers (199 miles) of the U.S.-Mexican border, 
concurrence of the Mexican government has been requested. In accordance 
with the provisions of Section 1.420(i) of the Commission's rules, we 
shall not accept competing expressions of interest for the use of 
Channel 241B1 at Campo, California.
