FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
47 CFR Part 73
[MM Docket No. 96-137; RM-8823]
Radio Broadcasting Services; Negaunee, MI
AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document requests comments on a petition filed by Todd
Stuart Noordyk requesting the allotment of Channel 270A to Negaunee,
Michigan, with cut-off protection and modification of his application
for Channel 258A to specify operation on Channel 270A at Negaunee. The
coordinates for Channel 270A at Negaunee are 46-28-18 and 87-36-55.
Since Negaunee is located within 320 kilometers (200 miles) of the
U.S.-Canadian border, concurrence of the Canadian government will be
requested for this allotment. This proposal would enable the settlement
of a mutually exclusive proceeding between two applicants for Channel
258A at Negaunee, Michigan.
DATES: Comments must be filed on or before August 12, 1996, and reply
comments on or before August 27, 1996.
ADDRESSES: Federal Communications Commission, Washington, DC 20554. In
addition to filing comments with the FCC, interested parties should
serve the petitioner's counsel, as follows: Cary S. Tepper, Booth,
Freret & Imlay, P.C., 1233 - 20th Street, NW., Suite 204, Washington,
DC 20036.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kathleen Scheuerle, Mass Media Bureau,
(202) 418-2180.
