Final rule.

SUMMARY:

The Audio Division, at the request of Charles Crawford, allots Channel 264C3 at Crosbyton, Texas, as the community's first local aural transmission service. See 69 FR 54762, published September 10, 2004. Channel 264C3 can be allotted to Crosbyton in compliance with the Commission's minimum distance separation requirements, provided there is a site restriction of 12.5 kilometers (7.7 miles) east of the community. The reference coordinates for Channel 264C3 at Crosbyton are 33-41-30 North Latitude and 101-06-31 West Longitude. The Audio Division, at the request of Linda A. Davidson, allots Channel 285A at Union Gap, Washington, as the community's first local aural transmission service. See 69 FR 54761, published September 10, 2004. Channel 285A can be allotted to Union Gap in compliance with the Commission's minimum distance separation requirements, provided there is a site restriction of 3.4 kilometers (2.1 miles) southeast of the community. The reference coordinates for Channel 285A at Union Gap are 46-31-48 North Latitude and 120-27-18 West Longitude. Because the reference coordinates at Union Gap are located within 320 kilometers (199 miles) of the Canadian border, concurrence of the Canadian Government has been obtained. Filing windows for Channel 264C3 at Crosbyton, Texas and Channel 285A at Union Gap, Washington will not be opened at this time. Instead, the issue of opening a filing window for these channels will be addressed by the Commission in a subsequent order.
