ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: The Commission requests comments on a petition filed by Dana
Puopolo seeking the allotment of Channel 229A to Lancaster, NH, as the
community's second local aural service. Channel 229A can be allotted to
Lancaster with a site restriction of 10 kilometers (6.2 miles)
northwest, at coordinates 44-33-55 NL; 71-37-48, to avoid a short-
spacing to Station WMWV, Channel 228A, Conway, NH. Canadian concurrence
in the allotment, as a specially negotiated short-spaced allotment with
respect to unoccupied and unapplied for Channel 229A at East Angus,
Quebec, is required since Lancaster is located within 320 kilometers
(200 miles) of the U.S.-Canadian border.
DATES: Comments must be filed on or before March 15, 1999, and reply
comments on or before March 30, 1999.
