SUMMARY:

This document allots Channel 223A at Rocksprings, Texas, in response to a petition filed by Rocksprings Radio Broadcasting Company. See 64 FR 68663, December 8, 1999. The coordinates for Channel 223A at Rocksprings are 30-05-18 NL and 100-18-02 WL. There is a site restriction 11.9 kilometers (7.4 miles) northwest of the community. Although Mexican concurrence has been requested for Channel 223A at Rocksprings, final notification from Mexico has not been received. Therefore, operation with the facilities specified for Rocksprings herein is subject to modification, suspension, or termination without hearing, if found by the Commission to be necessary in order to conform to the 1992 USA-Mexico FM Broadcast Agreement or if specifically objected to by Mexico. A filing window for Channel 223A at Rocksprings 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.
