ACTION:

Final rule.

SUMMARY:

The Audio Division, at the request of Portmeirion Partners allots Channel 225C3 at Clatskanie, Oregon, as the community's first local service. See 69 FR 75016, published December 15, 2004. Channel 225C3 can be allotted to Clatskanie, consistent with the minimum distance separation requirements of the Commission's rules at a restricted site located 21.5 kilometers (13.3 miles) north of the community. The reference coordinates for Channel 225C3 at Clatskanie are 46-17-44 North Latitude and 123-14-13 West Longitude. A filing window for Channel 225C3 at Clatskanie, Oregon 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. To accommodate the Clatskanie allotment, the Audio Division orders the substitution of Channel 259A for Channel 224A at Long Beach, California, and modification of the license for Station KAQX(FM) to reflect the channel change. Additionally, the Audio Division orders the substitution of Channel 253A for Channel 259A at Ilwaco, Washington to facilitate the Long Beach channel substitution.
