Radio Broadcasting Services; Willcox, AZ; Lordsburg, NM

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This document substitutes Channel 285C3 for Channel 252A at 
Willcox, Arizona, and modifies the license of Station KWCX-FM to 
specify operation on the nonadjacent higher powered channel, as 
requested by William S. Konopnicki. See 60 FR 22022, May 4, 1995. Also, 
Channel 223C3 is allotted to Willcox, as an additional equivalent 
channel, since an interest in applying for a second Class C3 allotment 
at that community was expressed by Michael T. McKenna. Additionally, 
Channel 289C3 is allotted to Lordsburg, New Mexico, as an additional 
local FM transmission service at that community, in response to a 
counterproposal filed on behalf of Lordsburg Broadcasting Associates. 
Coordinates used for Channel 223C3 at Willcox are 32-16-22 North 
Latitude and 109-48-14 West Longitude; coordinates used for Channel 
285C3 at Willcox are 32-14-48 North Latitude and 109-39-52 West 
Longitude; coordinates used for Channel 289C3 at Lordsburg, are 32-20-
48 North Latitude and 108-42-36 West Longitude. As Willcox, Arizona, 
and Lordsburg, New Mexico, are located within 320 kilometers (199 
miles) of the United States-Mexico border, concurrence of the Mexican 
government in the respective allotments was obtained. With this action, 
the proceeding is terminated.

DATES: Effective February 10, 1997. The window period for filing 
applications for Channel 223C3 at Willcox, Arizona, and for Channel 
289C3 at Lordsburg, New Mexico, will open on February 10, 1997, and 
close on March 13, 1997.
