AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.
ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: This document requests comments on the proposal to amend the
Table of FM Allotments, by substituting Channel 276C2 for vacant
Channel 244C2 and Channel 252C3 for vacant Channel 276C3 at Matador,
Texas. Channel 244C2 at Matador is not in compliance with the minimum
distance separation requirements of the Federal Communications

allotted to Matador consistent with the minimum distance separation
requirements of the Commission's rules, with a site restriction of 27
kilometers (16.8 miles) west of the community at reference coordinates
33-56-19 NL and 101-06-08 WL. Channel 252C3 can be allotted to Matador
consistent with the minimum distance separation requirements of the
Commission's rules, with a site restriction of 12 kilometers (7.5
miles) southeast of the community at reference coordinates 33-57-50 NL
and 100-42-07 WL.
