AGENCY:

Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION:

Final rule.

SUMMARY:

The Commission, at the request of McCook Radio Group, LLC, allots Channel 280C2 to McCook, NE, as the community's fifth local commercial FM service. See 65 FR 34997, June 1, 2000. Channel 280C2 can be allotted to McCook in compliance with the Commission's minimum distance separation requirements without the imposition of a site restriction, at coordinates 40-12-18 NL; 100-37-36 WL. The Commission also editorially amends the FM Table of Allotments to reflect the grant of Station KRKU's one-step upgrade application to operate on Channel 253C1 in lieu of Channel 253C2 at McCook. A filing window for Channel 280C2 at McCook 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 December 11, 2000.
