SUMMARY: This document requests comments on a Petition for Rule Making 
filed by Shamrock Communications, Inc. (``Petitioner'') proposing the 
allotment of new Channel 288A at Tecopa, California. The instant 
Petition for Rule Making was filed concurrently with and contingent 
upon the grant of an FCC Form 301 Auction 68 long form application for 
a new FM station on Channel 291A at Tecopa, which seeks a one-step 
upgrade from Channel 291A to Channel 290C1 and a change in the 
community of license from Tecopa, California, to Amargosa Valley, 
Nevada. Action on the foregoing application will be taken separately 
from action on the instant Petition for Rule Making.

DATES: Comments must be filed on or before December 10, 2007, and reply 
comments on or before December 26, 2007.

the FCC, interested parties should serve Petitioner's counsel as 
follows: Kenneth E. Satten, Esq., Wilkinson Barker Knauer, L.L.P.; 2300 
N Street, NW., Suite 700; Washington, DC 20037.

    Members of the public should note that from the time a Notice of 
Proposed Rule Making is issued until the matter is no longer subject to 
Commission consideration or court review, all ex parte contacts are 
prohibited in Commission proceedings, such as this one, which involve 
channel allotments. See 47 CFR 1.1204(b) for rules governing 
permissible ex parte contact.
