ACTION:

Final rule.

SUMMARY:

In response to a petition filed by Charles Crawford requesting an allotment at Snyder, Texas, we shall allot Channel 235C3 in lieu of Channel 237C3 to the community at coordinates 32-42-25 and 101-05-36. See 66 FR 37632, July 19, 2001. In response to a counterproposal filed in this proceeding by 21st Century Radio Venture, Inc. and Littlefield Broadcasting, LLC, we shall substitute Channel 238C1 for Channel 238C3 at Littlefield, Texas, reallot Channel 238C1 to Wolfforth, Texas, and modify the license for Station KAIQ accordingly. The coordinates for Channel 238C1 at Wolfforth are 33-33-00 and 102-05-11. To accommodate the allotment at Wolfforth, Station KPER, Hobbs, New Mexico, has consented to a site change. The coordinates for the new site are 32-41-37 and 103-17-24. To further accommodate the Wolfforth allotment, Station KAIQ, Floydada, Texas, has filed a one-step application to modify its license to specify operation on Channel 291C3 in lieu of Channel 237A. The issue of opening the allotment of Channel 235C3 at Snyder, Texas, for auction will be addressed by the Commission in a subsequent order. With this action, this proceeding is terminated.
