FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 73

[MM Docket No. 97-27; RM-8901]

 
Radio Broadcasting Services; Salome, Arizona

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document allots Channel 241A to Salome, Arizona, as that 
community's first local aural transmission service in response to a 
petition filed on behalf of Browns Well Broadcasting. See 62 FR 4226, 
January 29, 1997. Coordinates used for Channel 241A at Salome, Arizona, 
are 33-46-54 and 113-36-42. As Salome is located within 320 kilometers 
(199 miles) of the U.S.-Mexico border, concurrence of the Mexican 
government to this allotment was requested but has not been received. 
Therefore, Channel 241A has been alloted to Salome with the following 
interim condition: ``Operation with the facilities specified herein is 
subject to modification, suspension, or termination without right to a 
hearing if found by the Commission to be necessary in order to conform 
to the 1992 USA-Mexico FM Broadcast Agreement'' (``Agreement''). The 
condition is a temporary measure as we have determined that Channel 
241A at Salome complies with the Agreement. Once an official response 
from the Mexican government has been obtained, the interim condition 
may be removed. With this action, the proceeding is terminated.

DATES: Effective March 9, 1998. A filing window for Channel 241A at 
Salome, Arizona, 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 separate Order.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Nancy Joyner, Mass Media Bureau, (202) 
418-2180. Questions related to the window application filing process 
should be addressed to the Audio Services Division, (202) 418-2700.
