Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION:

Proposed rule; denial.

SUMMARY:

This document denies a petition filed on behalf of Western Slope Communications, L.L.C., permittee of Station KAYW, Channel 251C, Meeker, Colorado, requesting the reallotment of Channel 251C from Meeker to Craig, Colorado, and modification of the authorization for Station KAYW accordingly. See 65 FR 45017, July 20, 2000. The reallotment proposal is denied as it would remove the sole local potential service at Meeker, and would not result in a preferential arrangement of allotments pursuant to the Commission's allotment priorities. See Modification of FM and TV Authorizations to Specify a New Community of License, 4 FCC Rcd 4870 (1989), recon. granted in part, 5 FCC Rcd 7094 (1990); and Revision of FM Assignment Policies and Procedures, 90 FCC 2d 88 (1982).
