AGENCY:

Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION:

Final rule.

SUMMARY:

This document allots Channel 241A to Mojave, California, as that community's second local FM transmission service, in response to a petition for rule making filed on behalf of Linda A. Davidson. See 64 FR 73460, December 30, 1999. Although the petitioner did not file supporting comments, an expression of interest in pursuing the proposal was filed on behalf of Lazer Broadcasting Corp. Coordinates used for Channel 241A at Mojave, California, are 35-06-11 NL and 118-10-22 WL. As Mojave is located within 320 kilometers (199 miles) of the U.S.-Mexico border, concurrence of the Mexican government was requested but has not been received. As the allotment complies with the terms of the 1992 USA-Mexico FM Broadcast Agreement (“Agreement”), Channel 241A has been allotted to Mojave with an interim operating condition which may be removed once an official response from the Mexican government has been obtained.

DATES:

Effective August 7, 2000. A filing window for Channel 241A at Mojave, California, 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.
