SUMMARY: This document requests comments on a Petition for Rulemaking 
filed by Hispanic Target Media Inc., proposing to amend the Table of FM 
Allotments, by substituting Channel 285C1 for vacant Channel 235C1 at 
Canadian, Texas to accommodate the hybrid modification application for 
Station KPQP that proposes the substitution of Channel 235C3 for 
Channel 291C3 at Panhandle, Texas. A staff engineering analysis 
indicates that Channel 285C1 can be allotted to Canadian, Texas, 
consistent with the minimum distance separation requirements of the 
Federal Communications Commission's (Commission) rules, with a site 
restriction of 6.1 km (3.8 miles) north of the community. The reference 
coordinates are 35-57-35 NL and 100-24-24 WL.

comments on or before July 9, 2024.

Proposed Rule Making is issued until the matter is no longer subject to
