FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 73

[DA 06-1308; MB Docket No. 04-318; RM-11040]


Radio Broadcasting Services; Culebra and Vieques, Puerto Rico

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Proposed rule; denial.

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

SUMMARY: We deny the petition for rule making filed by Western New 
Life, Inc., proposing the substitution of Channel 291A for Channel 254A 
at Culebra, Puerto Rico. To accommodate the substitution, Petitioner 
also proposed the deletion of vacant Channel 291B at Vieques, Puerto 
Rico. We find that neither the deletion of Channel 291B, nor the 
alternative downgrade and substitution of Channel 254A for Channel 291B 
at Vieques, is in the public interest. Specifically, expressions of 
interest have been filed to retain the Vieques vacant channel as a 
Class B allotment.
