ACTION:

Final rule.

SUMMARY:

In response to a proposal filed by Idaho Broadcasting Consortium, Inc., we will substitute Channel 294C1 for Channel 294C2 at McCall, Idaho, reallot Channel 294C1 to Pinesdale, Montana, and modify the authorization for Channel 294C2 to specify operation on Channel 294C1 at Pinesdale, Montana.^[1] See 66 FR 27059, May 16, 2001. The coordinates for Channel 294C1 at Pinesdale are 46-10-07 and 114-17-06. 112-59-42. Although Canadian concurrence has been requested for the allotment of Channel 294C1 at Pinesdale, notification has not yet been received. Therefore, operation with the facilities specified for Pinesdale herein is subject to modification, suspension, or termination without right to a hearing, if found by the Commission to be necessary in order to conform to the 1991 Canada-USA FM Broadcast Agreement or if specifically objected to by Canada. With this action, this proceeding is terminated.
