AGENCY:

Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION:

Final rule.

SUMMARY:

In this document, the Commission allots Channel 290C2 at Quartzsite, Arizona, in response to a petition filed by Dana J. Puopolo. See 68 FR 36764 (June 19, 2003). Channel 290C2A can be allotted at Quartzsite, Arizona, with a site restriction 4.5 kilometers (2.8 miles) northeast of the community at coordinates 33-41-51 and 114-12-10. Although Mexican concurrence has been requested for the allotment of Channel 290C2 at Quartzsite, notification has not been received. Therefore, operation with the facilities specified for Channel 290C2 at Quartzsite herein is subject to modification, suspension or termination without right to 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. With this action, this proceeding is terminated. A filing window for channel 290C2 at Quartzsite will not be opened at this time. Instead, the issue of opening this allotment for auction will be addressed by the Commission in a subsequent order.

DATES:

Effective October 20, 2003.
