AGENCY:

Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION:

Proposed rule; denial.

SUMMARY:

This document denies a petition for rule making filed by Mountain West Broadcasting proposing the allotment of FM Channel 228A to Grand View, Idaho, as that locality's first local aural transmission service. See 64 FR 31175, June 10, 1999. Evidence presented established that the proposed reference coordinates at 42-53-47 NL and 116-50-30 WL to accommodate Channel 228A are located in a wilderness area managed by the Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”). The BLM stated that in the absence of environmental studies, the referenced site will not be designated as suitable for future use as an electronics site. The petitioner did not present any engineering showings to establish the availability of an alternate site. With this action, the proceeding is terminated.
