SUMMARY: The Commission requests comments on a petition filed by Ronald
W. Latimer requesting the reallotment of Channel 247C1 from Pecos to
Wink, Texas, and the modification of Station KKLY(FM)'s construction
permit to specify Wink as its community of license. Channel 247C1 can
be allotted to Wink in compliance with the Commission's minimum
distance separation requirements with a site restriction of 36.7
kilometers (22.8 miles) southeast. The coordinates for Channel 247C1 at
Wink are 31-28-16 NL and 102-57-28 WL. Since Wink is located within 230
kilometers (199 miles) of the U.S.-Mexican border, concurrence by the
Mexican government has been requested. In accordance with the provision
of Section 1.420(i) of the Commission's Rules, we will not accept
competing expressions of interest in use of Channel 247C1 at Wink.
