FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
47 CFR Part 73
[MM Docket No. 95-50, RM-8581]
Radio Broadcasting Services; Willcox, AZ
AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document requests comments on a petition for rule making
filed on behalf of William S. Konopnicki, licensee of Station KWCX-FM,
Channel 252A, Willcox, Arizona, seeking the substitution of Channel
285C3 for Channel 252A and modification of his license accordingly to
specify operation on the higher powered channel. Coordinates for this
proposal are 32-14-48 and 109-39-52. Willcox is located within 320
kilometers (199 miles) of the United States-Mexico border, and
therefore, the Commission must obtain concurrence of the Mexican
government to this proposal.
Additionally, petitioner's modification proposal is consistent with
the provisions of Section 1.420(g)(2) of the Commission's Rules as he
demonstrated that an additional equivalent channel can be allotted to
Willcox in the event other parties express an interest in the proposal.
Therefore, we will not accept competing expressions of interest in the
use of Channel 285C3 at Willcox.
DATES: Comments must be filed on or before June 22, 1995, and reply
comments on or before July 7, 1995.
ADDRESSES: Secretary, Federal Communications Commission, Washington,
D.C. 20554. In addition to filing comments with the FCC,
