FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
47 CFR Part 73
[DA 99-1837; MM Docket No. 99-170; RM-9545]
Radio Broadcasting Services; Oceanside and Encinitas, CA
AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document reallots Channel 271B from Oceanside to
Encinitas, California, as that community's first local aural
transmission service and modifies the license for Station KXST(FM), a
pre-1964 grandfathered facility, as requested, pursuant to the
provisions of section 1.420(i) of the Commission's Rules. See 64 FR
28427, May 26, 1999. Coordinates used for Channel 271B at Encinitas are
the currently authorized site for Station KXST(FM) at 33-06-40 NL and
117-12-05 WL. At that site, Station KXST(FM) will remain short spaced
to pre-1964 grandfathered Station KSCA(FM), Channel 270B, Glendale,
California, but will not result in an increase in interference
potential to other stations as no technical changes for Station
KXST(FM) are involved. A previously referenced short spacing to pre-
1964 grandfathered Station KGB-FM, Channel 268B, San Diego, California,
is not a consideration as the Commission has eliminated the distance
separation requirements and interference protection requirements with
respect to second and third adjacent channel grandfathered stations
that have existed continuously since November 16, 1964. See
Grandfathered Short-Spaced FM Stations, 62 FR 187, September 26, 1977.
As Encinitas is located within 320 kilometers (199 miles) of the U.S.-
Mexico border, the Mexican government will be notified of the technical
changes to the FM Table of Allotments to reflect the reallotment of
Channel 271B from Oceanside to Encinitas. With this action, the
proceeding is terminated.
DATES: Effective October 25, 1999.
