[MM Docket No. 93-228; RM-8295]


Radio Broadcasting Services; Tawas City, MI

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule; petition for reconsideration.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Commission dismisses the petition filed by Patricia Mason 
for reconsideration of the Report and Order in MM Docket 93-228, 59 FR 
46932, September 13, 1994. In that proceeding, Ives Broadcasting, Inc., 
licensee of Station WHST-FM, Tawas City, Michigan, was modified to 
operate on Channel 291A in lieu of Channel 297A. In response to 
Patricia Mason's interest in Channel 291A, Channel 277A was allotted to 
Tawas City as an additional channel. Mason's petition for 
reconsideration argues that Channel 277A is not an equivalent channel, 
and, therefore, Channel 291A should be made available for application 
to all parties. The Commission considers channels of the same class to 
be equivalent unless showings have been made that a station cannot be 
constructed for reasons such as environmental consequences or hazard to 
air navigation. Since no showings were made, we have dismissed the 
petition for reconsideration.

EFFECTIVE DATE: June 14, 1995.
