FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
47 CFR Part 73
[MM Docket No. 98-222; RM-9407]
Radio Broadcasting Services; Lordsburg and Hurley, NM
AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Commission, at the request of BBC Radio, substitutes
Channel 288C1 for Channel 289C3 at Lordsburg, NM, reallots Channel
288C1 from Lordsburg to Hurley, NM, as the community's first local
aural service, and modifies petitioner's construction permit (BPH-
970725MO) to specify the alternate channel and new community of
license. See 63 FR 69608, December 17, 1998. Channel 288C1 can be
allotted to Hurley in compliance with the Commission's minimum distance
separation requirements with a site restriction of 9.6 kilometers (5.9
miles) north, at coordinates 32-47-00 NL; 108-08-30 WL, to avoid a
short-spacing to Channel 288B, El Porven, Chihuahua, Mexico, and to
accommodate petitioner's desired transmitter site. Mexican concurrence
in the allotment has been obtained since Hurley is located within 320
kilometers (199 miles) of the U.S.-Mexican border. With this action,
this proceeding is terminated.
EFFECTIVE DATE: August 9, 1999.
