AGENCY:

Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION:

Final rule.

SUMMARY:

The Commission, at the request of AM Communications, allots Channel 296A to Livingston Manor, NY, as the community's first local aural service, and denies the request of Dana Puopolo to allot Channel 296A to Walton, NY, as the community's second local FM and third local aural service. See 64 FR 5626, February 4, 1999. Canadian concurrence in the allotment has been received since Livingston Manor is located within 320 kilometers (200 miles) of the U.S.-Canadian border. A filing window for Channel 296A Livingston Manor, NY, 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 March 17, 2000.
