FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 73

[DA 06-1583; MB Docket No. 05-45; RM-11147; RM-11246]


Radio Broadcasting Service; Atwood, Kansas; Burlington and 
Flagler, Colorado; McCook and Ogallala, Nebraska

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Audio Division, at the request of KNAB, Inc., allots 
Channel 292C0 at Atwood, Kansas, as the community's first local aural 
transmission service (RM-11246). To accommodate the allotment, we also 
substitute Channel 294C1 for Channel 293C1 at Ogallala, Nebraska, and 
the modify Station KMCX-FM's license accordingly. We deny the petition 
filed by Border Alliance of Broadcasters proposing the allotment of 
Channel 280C0 at Atwood, Kansas, and the proposed changes required to 
accommodate the proposal (RM-11147). Channel 292C0 can be allotted to 
Atwood in compliance with the Commission's minimum distance separation 
requirement with a site restriction of 14.8 kilometers (9.2 miles) 
southeast to avoid a short-spacing to the licensed site of Station 
KQNK-FM, Channel 294A, Norton, Kansas. The reference coordinates for 
Channel 292C0 at Atwood are 39-43-51 North Latitude and 100-53-58 West 
Longitude. Additionally, Channel 294C1 can be substituted at Ogallala 
at Station KMCX-FM's currently authorized site. The reference 
coordinates for Channel 294C1 at Ogallala are 41-08-02 North Latitude 
and 101-41-42 West Longitude.

DATES: Effective September 18, 2006. A filing window for Channel 292C0 
at Atwood, Kansas, will not be opened at this time. Instead, the issue 
of opening this allotment for auction will be addressed by the 
Commission in a subsequent order. Because the allotment requires the 
substitution of Channel 294C1 for Channel 293C1 at Ogallala, Nebraska, 
any requisite conditions for the channel change will be stipulated in 
said order.

ADDRESSES: Secretary, Federal Communications Commission, 445 Twelfth
