    SUMMARY: The Commission requests comments on a petition filed by Peter 
    George seeking the allotment of Channel 254A to Stratford, NH, as the 
    community's first local aural service. Channel 254A can be allotted to 
    Stratford in compliance with the Commission's minimum distance 
    separation requirements with a site restriction of 8.6 kilometers (5.3 
    miles) north, at coordinates 44-43-54 NL; 71-34-10 WL, to avoid a 
    short-spacing to the proposed allotment of Channel 256A at Whitefield, 
    NH (MM Docket 99-42).
    
    [[Page 14421]]
    
    Canadian concurrence in the allotment is required since Stratford is 
    located within 320 kilometers (200 miles) of the U.S.-Canadian border.
