FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
47 CFR Part 73
[MM Docket No. 96-257; RM-8966]
Radio Broadcasting Services; Cloudcroft, NM
AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Commission, at the request of Robert J. Flotte, allots
Channel 250C1 to Cloudcroft, NM, as the community's second local FM
service. See 62 FR 373, January 3, 1997. Channel 250C1 can be allotted
to Cloudcroft in compliance with the Commission's mileage separation
requirements with a site restriction of 15.9 kilometers (9.9 miles)
east, at coordinates 33-00-49 NL; 105-35-16 WL, to avoid a short-
spacing to Station KXKK, Channel 250C, Lordsburg, NM. Cloudcroft is
located within 320 kilometers (199 miles) of the U.S.-Mexican border.
Mexican concurrence in this allotment was requested in January, 1997,
but has not yet been received. Therefore, the channel has been allotted
with the following interim condition: ``Operation with the facilities
specified herein is subject to modification, suspension, or termination
without right to a hearing, if found by the Commission to be necessary
in order to conform to the 1992 USA-Mexico FM Broadcast Agreement.''
The announced condition is a temporary measure as our engineering
analysis has determined that Channel 250C1 at Cloudcroft complies with
the Agreement. Therefore, once an official response from the Mexican
Government has been received, the referenced condition may be removed.
With this action, this proceeding is terminated.
DATES: Effective September 29, 1997. The window period for filing
applications will open on September 29, 1997, and close on October 30,
1997.
