Channel 227A can be allotted to Pearsall, Texas, as a replacement 
service with a site restriction of 1.7 kilometers (1.1 miles) west at 
Petitioner's requested site. The reference coordinates for Channel 227A

See Supplementary Informaton, infra.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a synopsis of the Commission's 
Report and Order, MB Docket No. 03-87, adopted January 4, 2006, and 
released January 6, 2006. The full text of this Commission decision is 
available for inspection and copying during normal business hours in

Order in a report to be sent to Congress and the Government 
Accountability Office pursuant to the Congressional Review Act, see 
U.S.C. Sec.  801(a)(1)(A).
    Since Pearsall and Dilley are located within 320 kilometers (199 
miles) of the Mexican border, the Commission sought Mexican concurrence 
for the allotment of Channel 237A at Dilley and Channel 227A at 
Pearsall, Texas. Mexican concurrence has been received for Channel 227A 
at Pearsall. However, concurrence of the Mexican government has not yet 
been received for Channel 237A at Dilley. If a construction permit for 
Channel 237A at Dilley, Texas, is granted prior to the Commission's 
receipt of formal concurrence in the allotment by the Mexican 
Government, the construction permit will include the following 
condition: ``Use of this allotment is subject to suspension, 
modification, or termination without right to hearing, if found by the 
Commission to be necessary in order to conform to the 1992 USA-Mexico 
FM Broadcast Agreement or if specifically objected to by Mexico's 
Secretaria de Communicaciones Y Transportes.''
