AGENCY:

Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION:

Final rule.

SUMMARY:

Houston Christian Broadcasters, Inc. (“HCBI”) proposed the substitution of Channel 223C3 for Channel 223A at Wake Village, and modification of the license for Station KHTA and substitution of Channel 231C3 for Channel 223A at Arcadia, LA. See 64 FR 26720, May 17, 1999. On June 28, 2000, HCBI withdrew its interest in Channel 223C3 at Wake Village and Channel 231C3 at Arcadia. Therefore, the petition has been dismissed, as requested, with no action taken with regard to HCBI's proposed substitutions at Wake Village and Arcadia. In response to counterproposals filed for Gibsland, LA, Hodge, LA and expressions of interest for the use of Channel 231C3 at Arcadia, LA, we have compared the proposals and allotted Channel 231C2 to Hodge, LA as a first local service. The coordinates for Channel 231C2 at Hodge, LA are 32-08-20 and 92-59-04. A filing window for Channel 231C2 at Hodge 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 September 11, 2000.
