47 CFR Part 73

Radio Broadcasting Services; Toquerville, Utah

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: This document requests comments on a Petition for Rule Making 
filed by JER Licenses, LLC, winning bidder in Auction 93 for Channel 
281C3 at Peach Spring, Arizona. The petition proposes the substitution 
of Channel 246C for vacant Channel 280C at Toquerville, Utah to 
accommodate the hybrid application requesting the downgrade of the new 
FM station, from Channel 281C3 to Chanel 280A at Peach Springs, 
Arizona. A staff engineering analysis indicates that Channel 246C can 
be allotted to Toquerville, Utah consistent with the minimum distance 
separation requirements of the Commission's Rules with a site 
restriction located 46.7 kilometers (29 miles) northeast of 
Toquerville. The reference coordinates are 37-34-28 NL and 112-56-33 
WL.

DATES: Comments must be filed on or before May 26, 2014, and reply 
comments on or before June 10, 2014.
