FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
47 CFR Part 73
[MM Docket No. 97-7; RM-8947]
Radio Broadcasting Services; Chehalis, WA and Tillamook, OR
AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Commission, at the request of C. C. Broadcasting Company,
allots Channel 282A at Chehalis, Washington, as the community's first
local commercial FM transmission service (RM-8947). See 62 FR 3653,
January 24, 1997. We also deny the one-step upgrade application (BPH-
970224IC) filed by Oregon Eagle, Inc., requesting the substitution of
Channel 282C1 for Channel 281C3 at Tillamook, Oregon, and the
modification of Station KTIL-FM's license accordingly. Channel 282A can
be allotted at Chehalis in compliance with the Commission's minimum
distance separation requirements with a site restriction of 1.4
kilometers (0.9 miles) south to avoid a short-spacing to the licensed
site of Station KAFE(FM), Channel 282C, Bellingham, Washington. The
coordinates for Channel 282A at Chehalis are North Latitude 46-38-57
and West Longitude 122-57-58. Since Chehalis is located within 320
kilometers (200 miles) of the U.S.-
[[Page 57610]]
Canadian border, concurrence of the Canadian government has been
obtained. With this action, this proceeding is terminated.
EFFECTIVE DATE: November 30, 1998. A filing window for Channel 282A at
Chehalis, Washington, will not be opened at this time. Instead, the
issue of opening a filing window for this channel will be addressed by
the Commission in a subsequent order.
