00-18294. Radio Broadcasting Services; Keeseville and Dannemora, NY

AGENCY:

Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION:

Final rule.

SUMMARY:

The Commission, at the request of Dannemora Broadcasting and John Anthony Bulmer, allots Channel 250A to Dannemora, NY, as the community's first local aural service. See 64 FR 55223, October 12, 1999, and counterproposals thereto. This action also dismisses the request of John Anthony Bulmer to allot Channel 250A to Keeseville, NY. Channel 250A can be allotted to Dannemora in compliance with the Commission's minimum distance separation requirements, with respect to all domestic allotments, without the imposition of a site restriction, at coordinates 44-43-12 NL; 73-43-36 WL. Concurrence by the Canadian Government in the allotment, as a specially negotiated, short-spaced allotment, has been obtained. A filing window for Channel 250A at Dannemora will not be opened at this time. Instead, the issue of opening a filing window for this channel will be addressed by the Commission in a subsequent order.

DATES:

Effective August 14, 2000.
