AGENCY:

Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION:

Final rule.

SUMMARY:

This document allots Channel 277A to Pearsall, Texas, in response to a petition filed by The Pearsall Company. See 65 FR 11538, March 3, 2000. The coordinates for Channel 277A at Pearsall are 28-56-40 NL and 99-11-44 WL. There is a site restriction 11.3 kilometers (7 miles) northwest of the community. Although Mexican concurrence has been requested for Channel 277A at Pearsall as a specially negotiated short-spaced allotment, notification has not been received. Therefore, operation with the facilities specified for Pearsall herein is subject to modification, suspension, or termination without right to hearing, if found by the Commission to be necessary in order to conform to the 1992 USA-Mexico FM Broadcast Agreement or if specifically objected to by Mexico. A filing window for Channel 277A at Pearsall 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.

DATES:

Effective November 6, 2000.
