FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
47 CFR Part 73
[MM Docket No. 95-138; RM-8684]
Radio Broadcasting Services; Casper, WY
AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Commission requests comments on a petition jointly filed
by Bruce L. Erickson (``Erickson''), Hart Mountain Media, Inc.,
(``Hart'') and Rule Communications (``Rule''), proposing the allotment
of Channels 273A and 284A at Casper, Wyoming, as potentially the
community's sixth and seventh local commercial FM transmission
services. If the channels are allotted with cut-off protection,
petitioners also propose to amend Rule and Hart's pending applications
for Channel 247A at Casper to specify operation on Channels 273A and
284A, respectively, leaving the application of Erickson as singleton
for Channel 247A, thereby resolving the mutual exclusivity for the
channel. Channels 273A and 284A can be allotted at Casper in compliance
with the Commission's minimum distance separation requirements at city
reference coordinates. The coordinates for Channels 273A and 284A at
Casper are North Latitude 42-50-48 and West Longitude 106-18-48.
DATES: Comments must be filed on or before October 19, 1995 and reply
comments on or before November 3, 1995.
