ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This document grants allotment proposals in the above-
referenced proceeding, in response to a petition for rule making filed
by Mountain Tower Broadcasting (Ashton, Idaho, RM-9144), as well as a
counterproposal filed on behalf of Alpine Broadcasting Limited
Partnership (West Yellowstone, Montana, RM-9313). Channel 243A is
allotted to Ashton, Idaho, rather than Channel 224A, as proposed in the
Notice of Proposed Rule Making, to accommodate the modification of
Station KWWF(FM), to specify operation on Channel 225C at West
Yellowstone, Montana. See 62 FR 49189, September 19, 1997. Coordinates
used for Channel 243A at Ashton, Idaho, are 44-04-12 and 111-26-54;
coordinates used for Channel 225C at West Yellowstone, Montana, are 44-
33-39 and 111-26-24. With this action, the proceeding is terminated.
DATES: Effective October 5, 1998. A filing window for Channel 243A at
Ashton, Idaho, will not be opened at this time. Instead, the issue of
opening a filing window for Channel 243A will be addressed by the
Commission in a subsequent Order.
